Has The Supreme Court Had Enough Of The Trump Administration's Excuses?

Over the Easter weekend, the Supreme Court issued a remarkable order in the wee hours of Saturday morning blocking President Donald Trump from immediately removing a group of Venezuelan immigrants from a detention center in Texas and, potentially, sending them to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

The court’s order came amid a frenzy of legal filings by lawyers for a handful of Venezuelans detained at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Anson, Texas. Those detainees reported that they were being pressured to sign forms affirming their alleged membership in the gang Tren de Aragua and told they would be removed from the country within 24 hours to El Salvador.

By Friday night, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union representing two of the detained men reported in a brief to the Supreme Court that detainees had been loaded onto a bus en route to an airport for removal.
