Washington, May 17 (H.S.): The United States Supreme Court has dealt a significant setback to the Trump administration. The court has issued a stay on the deportation of Venezuelans from the country. The court stated that individuals should be given a fair opportunity to follow legal procedures before being removed from the country. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his displeasure with the court's decision.

Venezuelans are currently detained at a facility in Texas. The Trump administration aims to deport Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act, which was enacted in 1798. The matter was brought to court through the human rights organization American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Following a hearing, the court stated on Friday that it is not appropriate to deport immigrants from the United States without a hearing within 24 hours. According to an ACLU spokesperson, the Supreme Court has referred the matter back to the lower Circuit Court for a more detailed hearing on the issue.

In light of the Supreme Court's decision, Donald Trump has expressed strong dissatisfaction. He wrote in a social media post that the Supreme Court is not allowing us to remove criminals from the country.

This case had previously reached a lower court in the U.S., but that court refused to hear it. Subsequently, the ACLU approached the Supreme Court.

What is the Alien Enemies Act? The Alien Enemies Act is a wartime law that grants the President of the United States the authority to detain or deport nationals of enemy countries. This law was created in 1798 and was last implemented during World War II. Now, Trump is using this law against Venezuelans.
