ACLU appeals to Supreme Court to stop Venezuelan deportations; Boasberg holds emergency hearing Friday night
The American Civil Liberties Union appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, asking for an emergency injunction against the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan nationals held in Texas back to South America under the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.
The Supreme Court previously ruled there are restrictions on how the government can use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, including that those targeted under it are entitled to a hearing before being deported.
Hours before appealing to the Supreme Court on Friday, the ACLU had asked two federal judges for an injunction on the deportations.
One of the judges, James E. Boasberg, scheduled a Friday evening hearing over the request.

Boasberg, who originally ruled on the Alien Enemies Act, previously found probable cause that the Trump administration committed criminal contempt in disobeying his ruling on the deportations.
The Supreme Court then ruled that only judges in the areas from where migrants are set to be deported have jurisdiction over their cases.
Boasberg is in Washington, D.C.
He told ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt on Friday evening at the emergency hearing, «I’m sympathetic to everything you’re saying, I just don’t think I have the power to do anything about it.»
Later Friday, another Washington, D.C.-based circuit judge issued an «administrative stay» on Boasberg’s contempt finding, «to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal or a write of mandamus.»
The order said it should not be considered a ruling «on the merits» of the Trump administration’s motion again the contempt proceedings.
Judges in Colorado, New York and south Texas have temporarily halted deportations in those areas, but there’s no ban for the Venezuelan nationals facing possible deportation from the Bluebonnet Detention Center in northern Texas.
TRUMP REVEALS THE ONLY DETAIL HE HASN’T DECIDED IN HIS SELF-DEPORTATION PROGRAM
The ACLU has called for a deportation ban on two Venezuelans being held at the center2, saying the administration is accusing them of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and any immigrants in the region.
Separately, on Friday, the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a bid by the Trump administration to strip around 350,000 Venezuelan migrants of their Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which would make them eligible for deportation.
TPS lasts six to 18 months and applies to people from countries that are war-torn or have a natural disaster or some other event that makes returning dangerous.
The court upheld a March ruling from a lower court that stayed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s efforts to remove the protected status from some Venezuelans in the country.
President Trump on Friday also commented on the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who had been living in Maryland and had protections against deportation, who was mistakenly deported to a prison in the county last month.

«This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,’» Trump wrote on Truth Social with a picture of him holding a photo that shows tattoos on Garcia’s knuckles. The photo says the symbols on Garcia’s knuckles spell out MS-13.

FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is raising concerns about the potential effects of the U.S. importing Argentinian beef after President Donald Trump floated the idea earlier this week.
Rep. Julie Fedorchak, R-N.D., is leading seven other House GOP lawmakers in a letter to the president on Tuesday evening, warning the potential plan has rattled the multibillion-dollar American ranching industry.
«America’s cattle producers are among the most resilient and hardworking in the nation,» the Republicans wrote. «Collectively, the cattle industry supports thousands of jobs across our districts and contributes $112 billion to rural economies nationwide.»
«In recent days, we have heard strong concerns from producers regarding reports that the U.S. may import beef from Argentina.»

The House Republicans acknowledged the «importance of strong trade relationships and diverse markets» but added that beef producers in their districts «are seeking clarity on how this decision will be made, what safety and inspection standards will apply, and how this policy aligns with your administration’s commitment to strengthening American agriculture.»
Trump suggested Sunday that buying beef from Argentina could help lower prices for Americans at home, amid a wider promise to lower costs for U.S. citizens.
«One of the things we’re thinking about doing is beef from Argentina,» Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
He later elaborated in his conversation with reporters, «We would buy some beef from Argentina. If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down.»
«Our groceries are down, our energy prices are down. I think we’re going to have $2 gasoline pretty soon. We’re getting close and everything’s down. The one thing that’s kept up is beef,» Trump said.
He added that it would not be «that much» but argued it would help Argentina, a U.S. ally, as well.

But the House Republicans questioned whether imported beef would be held to the same food safety and animal health requirements as that of the U.S., which they called «the gold standard.»
«Any import policy must hold foreign suppliers to those same rigorous standards. Introducing beef from countries with inconsistent safety or inspection records could undermine the confidence that U.S. ranchers have worked decades to earn,» the lawmakers warned.
«We respectfully request additional information on this matter and urge your administration to ensure that any future decisions are made with full transparency, sound science, and a firm commitment to the U.S. cattle industry. America’s producers can compete with anyone in the world. If given an opportunity, they will continue to respond quickly to the market demand for more quality American beef in our grocery stores.»
In addition to Fedorchak, the letter is also signed by Reps. Michelle Fischbach, R-Minn., Troy Downing, R-Mont., Gabe Evans, R-Colo., Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., Derek Schmidt, R-Kan., Jeff Hurd, R-Colo., and Republican Study Committee Chair August Pfluger, R-Texas.
White House spokesman Kush Desai told Fox News Digital in response, «The Trump administration remains committed to addressing the needs and concerns of American cattle producers and safeguarding their interests at home and abroad. That’s why the administration has secured billions in new export opportunities for American agricultural products in our historic trade deals with the UK, Japan, the EU, and others.»
«It’s also why the administration is focused on reversing a prolonged decrease in the supply of live cattle by growing American cattle herds with robust action to deliver disaster relief to cattle country, support new ranchers, and reduce risk for cattle producers,» Desai said.
Trump’s proposal has stirred some anxiety among some Republicans whose constituencies depend on cattle ranching.
Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., posted on X Tuesday, «If the goal is addressing beef prices at the grocery store, this isn’t the way.»
«The U.S. has safe, reliable beef, and it is the one bright spot in our struggling ag economy. Nebraska’s ranchers cannot afford to have the rug pulled out from under them when they’re just getting ahead or simply breaking even,» Fischer wrote.
Meanwhile, Fox News Digital was told that Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., also raised significant concerns about what importing beef from Argentina could do to the U.S. cattle ranching industry during a call with fellow House Republicans on Tuesday.

But some Republican responses were more muted. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told reporters that Trump «definitely identified a problem» regarding a shortage of cattle in the U.S. He added, «I understand what he’s trying to get done. I think there’s more ways to implement it.»
Fedorchak herself told Fox News Digital, «We’ve all received a number of questions and calls from our constituents over the last few days, so we are asking for clarity on the administration’s long-term plans. Our farmers and ranchers stand ready to deliver on the president’s America-First agenda. North Dakotans take great pride in producing the safest, highest-quality beef in the world — and we should be building on that success.»

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Israel on Tuesday received the coffins of two hostages returned from Gaza through the Red Cross, and officials said the remains will be identified before being released to their families as the military vowed to keep working to bring home all remaining captives.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the coffins were handed over to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet force inside Gaza. From there, they will be transferred to Israel, where they will be received in a military ceremony with the chief military rabbi.
Once received, the coffins will be placed in the custody of the National Center of Forensic Medicine of the Ministry of Health, where they will be identified. The families will receive formal notification once the process is complete.
The prime minister’s office said all families of the deceased hostages have been updated and sympathy has been expressed for their loss.

«The effort to return our hostages continues ceaselessly and will not stop until the very last hostage is returned,» Netanyahu’s office said.
The news comes the same day remains of a hostage returned from Gaza were identified as Sgt. Maj. Tal Haimi, commander of Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak’s rapid response team.

Haimi was 41 when he died, and, according to the IDF, he was killed in combat while defending Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre. His remains were taken to Gaza, where they were held for more than two years.
Haimi’s family initially believed he was taken alive, and Israel declared him deceased Dec. 13, 2023.

Following the identification of Haimi’s remains, Netanyahu’s office expressed condolences to his family and reiterated its call for Hamas to release the remains of all deceased hostages for proper burial.
The IDF echoed the call, demanding Hamas fulfill its obligations under the agreement brokered by the Trump administration.

On Oct. 13, 2025, the final 20 living hostages returned to Israel after more than two years in captivity. Since then, the remains of 28 deceased hostages have gradually been returned, while 13 others — including U.S. citizens Itay Chen and Omer Neutra and soldier Hadar Goldin, whose body has been held since 2014 — remain in Gaza.
