The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling early Saturday morning blocking, at least for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th century wartime law.
The justices instructed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in Texas' Bluebonnet Detention Center "until further order of this court."
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the majority opinion.
