WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court for permission to resume deportations of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under an 18th century wartime law, while a court fight continues.

The emergency appeal to the high court follows a rejection of the Republican administration’s plea to the federal appeals court in Washington. By a 2-1 vote, a panel of appellate judges left in place an order temporarily prohibiting deportations of the migrants under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act

The Justice Department argued in court papers that federal courts shouldn’t interfere with sensitive diplomatic negotiations. It also claimed that migrants should make their case in a federal court in Texas, where they are being detained.

The order temporarily blocking the deportations was issued by U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg, the chief judge at the federal courthouse in Washington.

2. How to render the SC irrelevant to people...go ahead FAFO

If there are no laws that matter, no Constitutional remedy can be applied, then it is a Free-for-All in matters of laws & their enforcement. And we should all take advantage of that... just say'in.

3. Which Justice will ask "What war?"

Violently acting out on insecurities and hates against random people (who have had no due process and aren't even remotely in this supposed 'gang') is not a war. It's an abomination.
