EMERGENCY DOCKET

Supreme Court requires noncitizens to challenge detention and removal in Texas

By Amy Howe on April 7 at 8:14 p.m.

The Supreme Court on Monday night ruled that noncitizens whom the administration has designated as members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang under the Alien Enemies Act must challenge their detention and removal in Texas, rather than Washington, D.C. By a vote of 5-4, the justices lifted a pair of orders by a federal judge in Washington and noted that the detainees are entitled to notice and an opportunity to file a challenge.

Justices direct government to facilitate return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

By Amy Howe on April 10 at 7:25 p.m.

In a short order on Thursday evening, the court largely left in place an order by a federal judge in Maryland directing the government to return to the United States Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia who is currently being held in a maximum-security prison in El Salvador as a result of what the Trump administration concedes was an “administrative error.”

Q&A

Will the court overturn a 1930s precedent to expand presidential power, again?

By Ellena Erskine on April 10 at 10:11 a.m.

As challenges to President Donald Trump’s firing of members of the Merit Systems Protection Board and the National Labor Relations Board reach the court this week, it seems increasingly likely that the justices will reexamine a key precedent on presidential power, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States. Stephen Vladeck discusses the case and one wrinkle that might stand in the way of this court overruling it.

EMERGENCY DOCKET

Orders to reinstate agency heads on hold as court considers Trump’s appeal

By Amy Howe on April 9 at 6:17 p.m.

The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court again on Wednesday afternoon, asking the justices to block orders by two federal judges last month that instructed the government to allow board members of two independent agencies whom the president had attempted to fire to remain in office. Chief Justice John Roberts quickly put a temporary hold on those orders and called for a response by April 15.
