Supreme Court Calls For Judges’ Review For Deportations

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to use an 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants, but says they must get a court hearing before they are taken from the United States. In a bitterly divided decision Monday, the court said the administration must give Venezuelans who it claims are gang members “reasonable time” to go to court. But the conservative majority says the legal challenges must take place in Texas, instead of a Washington courtroom. In dissent, the three liberal justices say the administration has sought to avoid judicial review in this case and the court “now rewards the government for its behavior.”
