Supreme Court grants Trump request to lift stay halting Venezuelan deportations

The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Donald Trump’s request to vacate a lower court’s ruling barring the administration from using a 1798 wartime immigration law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals – including alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang – from the U.S., marking a significant victory for the administration as it advances key immigration priorities.
Justices on the high court ruled 5-4 to grant the administration’s request to lift the stay, in a temporary victory for Trump and his allies.
At issue was the Alien Enemies Act, or the immigration law passed by Congress in 1789 to immediately remove certain migrants from U.S. soil.
Prior to Trump’s second White House term, it had been invoked just three times in U.S. history: During the War of 1812, during World War I, and most recently, World War II.

Lawyers for the Trump administration had urged the court to vacate the lower court ruling, arguing in a Supreme Court filing that the lower court orders «rebuffed» their immigration agenda, including their ability «to protect the Nation against foreign terrorist organizations and risk debilitating effects for delicate foreign negotiations.»

«Today’s a bad day to be a terrorist in the United States of America,» Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a video posted to X, adding that Trump «was correct in using his authority on using the Alien Enemies Act to deport terrorists out of this country.»
Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi called the «landmark» decision a «victory for the rule of law,» adding that an «activist judge» in Washington, D.C., «does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe.»
«The Department of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America safe again,» Bondi concluded in her statement responding to the ruling.
APPEALS COURT BLOCKS TRUMP ADMIN’S DEPORTATION FLIGHTS IN ALIEN ENEMIES ACT IMMIGRATION SUIT
«This is a major loss for the lunatics and a major win for the American people,» Vice President J.D. Vance responded following the High Court’s ruling. «Onward!»

The Supreme Court’s ruling follows a temporary order from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg last month blocking the administration’s use of the 1798 law for 14 days while he considered the case on its merits – a pause upheld by a federal appeals court in a 2–1 decision.
«Nazis got better treatment» than some of the migrants deported under the law, Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee, remarked during the appellate hearing.
Both Boasberg and the appellate panel sharply questioned the administration over Trump’s proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals – and over the three planes that removed hundreds of migrants to El Salvador the very next day.
At least 261 migrants were deported that day, including more than 100 Venezuelans removed «solely on the basis» of the 1798 statute.
The deportation flights reportedly landed around the same time Boasberg issued his temporary halt, raising questions about whether administration officials knowingly defied the order. Boasberg had issued a bench ruling requiring any flights that had already taken off to return «immediately.»
That did not happen.

Boasberg said on April 3 that he was weighing whether to hold certain Trump administration officials in contempt of court for refusing to provide information, even after the court issued repeated requests regarding the deportation flights and the number of individuals sent to El Salvador.
Government lawyers cited national security concerns as the reason for refusing to comply with the court’s request for information.
But during the April 3 hearing, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign told Boasberg the flight information likely wasn’t classified — prompting the judge to question why the administration had declined to provide it on more than four occasions, including under a court-imposed deadline.
«Pretty sketchy,» Boasberg mused in court.

Boasberg also pressed the government to disclose the names, locations, and agencies of individuals involved in the removals, as well as any internal conversations with officials who may have been monitoring the court proceedings.
The hearing marked the latest in a flurry of legal battles over the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act. It followed Boasberg’s order requiring officials to explain why they failed to comply with his directive to return the deportation flights – and whether they knowingly defied the court.

The Supreme Court ruling may not mark the end of Trump’s push to invoke the Alien Enemies Act.
Boasberg is still weighing potential contempt charges against administration officials. As of this writing, a preliminary injunction hearing is set for April 8.
President Trump took to Truth Social to react to the decision in a post: «The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!»

California launches redistricting fight to ‘nullify’ Texas GOP plan, with Dems poised to gain 5 seats

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the controversy surrounding Texas’s redistricting efforts still rages, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that the Golden State will move forward with a plan for a special election in early November to place its own redistricting plan on a ballot measure before voters.
Newsom said the move was a counterpunch to Texas and was being done in a transparent fashion, but would also likely see Democrats pick up five seats if the measure is adopted. The plan would allow Democrats to temporarily bypass the state’s independent redistricting commission and adopt a new congressional map ahead of the 2026 elections.
«We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what’s happening in Texas and we will nullify what happens in Texas,» Newsom said at a Friday press conference flanked by several California lawmakers and some Texas Democrats who fled their state.

«We’ll pick up five seats with the consent of the people. And that’s the difference between the approach we’re taking and the approach they’re taking,» Newsom continued. «We’re doing it on a temporary basis. We’re doing it in a fully transparent way and we’re doing it by asking the people of the state of California for their consent and support.»
California would be the first Democratic-led state to actively begin the process of passing new congressional district lines ahead of the 2026 midterms in response to Texas’s redistricting push.
Newsom said Democrats have until Aug. 22 to get the measure on the ballot and he railed against President Donald Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in justifying the move.
«Greg Abbott, who doesn’t have the courage, doesn’t have the backbone, doesn’t have a conscience of the consequences of his actions… is dialing now for new seats,» Newsom said Friday, referring to the Texas governor’s push for a mid-decade redistricting map and a call with President Trump.
«[Trump’s] agenda is failing. His presidency has failed. He knows the headwinds in a midterm. He’s dialing for seats now.»

‘ALL-OUT WAR’: FLEEING TEXAS DEMS SIDE WITH NEWSOM AS REDISTRICTING STANDOFF CONTINUES: ‘FIRE WITH FIRE’
Texas Republicans, encouraged by the Trump administration, are pursuing a congressional map aimed at adding up to five GOP-leaning districts, prompting fierce backlash and counteraction. Texas Democrats have fled the Lone Star State to Democrat-stronghold states to break quorum and halt the vote.
The Texas House requires a quorum of two-thirds of members present to conduct official business and state lawmakers have reported they plan to be absent from the state until the end of August, when the special session ends.
Texas Democrats argue that their state’s redistricting plan is unconstitutional and nakedly partisan.
Pelosi defended the Texas walkout, calling it «self-defense for our democracy.»
She said Democrats will not let Trump «pave over» free and fair elections in the country.

Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows signed arrest warrants for the absent Democrats on Monday, following the state House approving of such warrants and Gov. Greg Abbott calling on the Texas Department of Public Safety to arrest the «delinquent Texas House Democrats.» The arrest warrants are largely viewed as symbolic as they only apply to those within state lines.
California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, a Democrat, said maps would be available to view next week.
«Once these maps are released, voters will have the opportunity to digest these maps, review them for weeks and months leading to this election,» he said.

El régimen de Irán amenazó con bloquear el corredor impulsado por EEUU en el marco del acuerdo de paz entre Azerbaiyán y Armenia

Teherán, Ereván, Bakú y Washington figuran en el centro de nuevas tensiones diplomáticas tras el anuncio de un acuerdo regional para abrir un corredor estratégico en el Cáucaso, conocido oficialmente como la Ruta Trump para la Paz y la Prosperidad Internacionales (TRIPP). El acuerdo, auspiciado por el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump, pretende establecer un paso que atravesaría el sur de Armenia, conectando directamente a Azerbaiyán con su exclave de Najicheván y con Turquía.
Un diplomático azerbaiyano declaró que el plan, respaldado por la firma de una declaración conjunta en la Casa Blanca el viernes, representa un paso clave hacia un acuerdo de paz final entre su país y Armenia. Según la fuente, Armenia ha reiterado su apoyo al proceso y al corredor regional, aunque persisten diferencias en torno al estatus de Nagorno Karabaj.
La administración estadounidense afirmó que, bajo el acuerdo, únicamente Estados Unidos tendría derechos de desarrollo exclusivos sobre el corredor, una vía que, según confirmó la Casa Blanca, podría incrementar significativamente las exportaciones energéticas y de otros recursos desde la región.
Sin embargo, la propuesta despertó la inmediata oposición de Irán, que limita con la zona. Ali Akbar Velayati, principal asesor del líder supremo iraní Ali Khamenei, advirtió: “Este corredor no se convertirá en un paso propiedad de Trump, sino en un cementerio para los mercenarios de Trump”. Velayati también subrayó que los recientes ejercicios militares realizados en el noroeste del país demostraban la determinación iraní de impedir “cualquier cambio geopolítico” en la frontera.

El sábado por la mañana, el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores iraní valoró el acuerdo como “un paso importante hacia una paz regional duradera”, aunque advirtió en un comunicado sobre “cualquier intervención extranjera cerca de nuestras fronteras que pueda socavar la seguridad y la estabilidad duradera de la región”.
Analistas y expertos señalaron que Irán, sometido a creciente presión internacional por su programa nuclear y tras la escalada militar de junio con Israel, carece actualmente de poder militar suficiente para bloquear efectivamente el corredor, aunque sus pronunciamientos logran tensar el ambiente diplomático.
Por su parte, Donald Trump recibió el viernes en la Casa Blanca al presidente de Azerbaiyán, Ilham Aliyev, y al primer ministro armenio, Nikol Pashinián, en una ceremonia en la que ambas partes suscribieron una declaración conjunta para poner fin a décadas de hostilidades.
La reacción de Rusia se hizo pública poco después. Aunque Moscú, tradicional intermediario y aliado de Armenia, expresó su apoyo a la cumbre impulsada por Washington, también hizo un llamamiento para “aplicar soluciones desarrolladas por los propios países de la región con el apoyo de sus vecinos inmediatos: Rusia, Irán y Turquía”, alertando sobre los riesgos de confiar en “la triste experiencia” de mediación occidental en Oriente Medio. Actualmente, guardias fronterizos rusos se encuentran estacionados en la frontera entre Armenia e Irán.
Turquía, miembro de la OTAN y aliado cercano de Azerbaiyán, acogió positivamente el acuerdo, lo que podría facilitar las conexiones de transporte y comerciales entre Ankara y Bakú.

Las tensiones entre Azerbaiyán y Armenia se remontan al final de la década de 1980, cuando la región montañosa de Nagorno Karabaj, de mayoría armenia pero situada en territorio azerbaiyano, declaró su independencia con el respaldo de Ereván. Azerbaiyán recuperó el control total de la zona en 2023, provocando la huida de la casi totalidad de los 100.000 armenios residentes.
El embajador de Azerbaiyán en el Reino Unido, Elin Suleymanov, sostuvo al respecto: “El capítulo de la enemistad se ha cerrado y ahora avanzamos hacia una paz duradera”, y estimó que el desarrollo del corredor representaría “un cambio de paradigma” en la región.
Suleymanov, quien fue enviado a Washington y trabajó en el gabinete presidencial, aclaró que la firma de un acuerdo de paz definitivo solo depende de que Armenia elimine de su Constitución toda referencia a Nagorno Karabaj. “Azerbaiyán está dispuesto a firmar en cualquier momento, una vez que Armenia cumpla el compromiso básico de eliminar de su Constitución la reivindicación territorial frente a Azerbaiyán”, manifestó el diplomático.
El primer ministro armenio, Nikol Pashinián, convocó este año un referéndum para modificar la Constitución, aunque no se ha fijado fecha para su celebración. Armenia programó elecciones parlamentarias para junio de 2026 y se prevé que la nueva carta magna esté redactada antes de las votaciones.
El acuerdo y las tensiones asociadas permanecerán bajo estrecha vigilancia internacional, debido a las implicaciones para la estabilidad y la seguridad energética del Cáucaso y sus vecinos.
