The US Supreme Court on Monday upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Trump administration had used to obstruct the imprisonment of illegal Venezuelan refugees under a 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
Chief justice John Roberts and four additional liberal judges voted to override the district court’s temporary block in the 5-4 decision, while Trump’s three liberal justices and righteousness Amy Coney Barrett, who was appointed, disagreed.
