The United States Supreme Court, Donald Trump, has temporarily prevented the use of a rare law dating back to the eighteenth century to deport a group of Venezuelan immigrants.

The country’s highest court in the early hours of Saturday said that the government “was directed not to remove any member of the supposed detainees from the United States until another order from this court.”

The Trump administration is trying to remove the alleged members of the Venezuelan gang using the 1798 foreign enemies law, a law that was invoked during World War II of non -American citizens of Italian, German and Japanese.

Two of the nine court judges, conservatives Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alto, opposed the majority ruling.

Immigrant attorneys, who are being held in Texas Prison, expressed his satisfaction with the decision.

“These men were at an imminent danger to spend their lives in a terrible foreign prison without the opportunity to go to the court,” said Li Gilrrent, the lawyer of the American Civil Liberties Union, a major lawyer in the case.

Many alleged members of the Tren De Aragua gang were deported to a prison in El Salvador last month, despite the court’s order to ban their deportation.

Near James James Pasperg judge issued a temporary order to restrict the prohibition of the administration’s attempts to deport the alleged gang members. President Donald Trump prompted the call for his isolation.

The alleged gang members were transferred to El Salvador, despite Busburg’s rule that the planes they had had to revolve.

“We felt comfortable because the Supreme Court did not allow the administration to whisk far away, the way others were only last month,” Gilrrent said.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court Raise the freezing On the deportation in a 5-4 vote was seen as a victory for the White House.

However, this ruling did not judge Trump’s attempt to use long -term legislation. Instead, it was narrow that the Venezuelan men who sought to challenge Trump had filed a lawsuit in the wrong judicial jurisdiction.
