On Friday, May 16, 2025, the Supreme Court decided to continue to block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, a 18th century wartime law. This is a continuation of a block issued last month that prevented the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan immigrants being held at a detention facility in Texas. The Supreme Court stated that they would continue the block "until further order of this court". Trump posted on Truth Social after the continuation, saying that SCOTUS "WON'T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY".
