In a post on his Truth Social site on May 16, Trump slammed the high court's ruling blocking his administration from using a 1798 wartime law to deport a group of Venezuelan migrants. The migrants argued who said they had not been given enough of a chance to contest their removal.

The high court action is the latest in a string of judicial setbacks for the Trump administration’s effort to speed deportations of people in the country illegally.

The justices did not address the broader legal question about whether Trump officials can legally invoke the Alien Enemies Act to target alleged gang members.
