Trump admin urges Supreme Court to allow deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is urging the Supreme Court not to block the deportation of Venezuelans accused of being members of the crime gang Tren de Aragua.

President Donald Trump declared Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization and ordered the deportation of its alleged members under the Alien Enemies Act.

But the high court temporarily blocked the removals early April 19 under what is called an administrative stay, while Venezuelans fight their deportations in court.

Solicitor General John Sauer said in a filing hours later that the government only had 42 minutes to reply to the Venezuelans' emergency appeal to the Supreme Court. He urged the court not to recognize the “irregular” appeal or grant “extraordinary” relief the Venezuelans seek.

Video from Friday night shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement buses full of Venezuelan migrants headed toward an airport in North Texas before abruptly turning around before the Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration must, for now, refrain from deporting Venezuelan men based in the state under the Alien Enemies Act.

At least 28 detainees — most, if not all, understood to be Venezuelan nationals — were placed on buses Friday evening at ICE’s Bluebonnet Detention Center in Anson, Texas, and then driven toward Abilene Airport about 30 miles away.

The motorcade — including at least 18 squad cars from various law enforcement agencies with flashing lights along the north Texas highways — left the ICE facility, with some men on board being told they were being deported to El Salvador and some told they were headed to Venezuela, according to the wife of one of the detainees and two lawyers representing other detainees at the facility. Prior to their departure, it was not clear what their destinations would be.

The video, obtained exclusively by NBC News, shows the ICE motorcade pass the airport’s exit and then turn around, looping back to return to the Bluebonnet detention facility.

The Trump administration is seeking to deport the men, who it says are members of the Tren de Aragua gang. It remains unclear whether the government has the authority to apply the Alien Enemies Act to gang members outside of a war situation, and whether adjudications about gang membership are accurate.

The administration has asked the Supreme Court to stop its pause on these would-be deportation flights.
