US Supreme Court halts deportation of Venezuelans under wartime law

Venezuelans who the Trump administration says are gang members have been deported to the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador

The US Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to pause the deportation of accused Venezuelan gang members under an 18th-century wartime law.

A civil liberties group is suing the administration over planned deportations of Venezuelans held in a detention centre in north Texas.

On Saturday, the Supreme Court ordered the government to "not remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court".

Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito dissented.
