US Supreme Court lets Trump pursue deportations under 1798 law, with limits

Despite siding with the administration, the court’s majority placed limits on how deportations may occur, emphasising that judicial review is required.

The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed Donald Trump to pursue deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members using a 1798 law that historically has been employed only in wartime as part of the Republican president’s hardline approach to immigration, but with certain limits.
