Well, earlier, the Supreme Court had decided that the administration could continue deporting under the act. This was a few weeks ago. But only if detainees were given due process to challenge their removal under the Alien Enemies Act.

The American Civil Liberties Union Friday afternoon filed multiple documents in court that showed immigration authorities were moving quickly to restart removals under the Alien Enemies Act, despite the previous Supreme Court's request for that due process. Here's Lee Gelern, one of the lawyers from the ACLU who spoke with my colleague Jasmine Garst.

He said people got less than a day to contest their removal. So the ACLU filed for a request to have the courts pause the deportations at the D.C. District Court. Judge James Boesberg denied that request because he said he did not believe he had jurisdiction. That prompted the immediate appeal from the ACLU and then the later decision from the Supreme Court.

The Alien Enemies Act is a rarely used presidential power that Trump invoked last month, right? And it has only been previously used in times of active war, the last time being World War II. Immigrant rights groups originally sued the administration over the use of the act when over 100 people were put on flights and sent to El Salvador, where they're now in a mega prison.

Lawyers say that this resulted in mass confusion. Attorneys, even those on behalf of the government, arrived at hearings where clients were missing and then family members learned that their loved ones were sent to El Salvador and that prison specifically because of social media posts from both the US government and the Salvadoran government.

The Justice Department argued that notices comply with previous Supreme Court's guidance on the issue. And I reached out to the Homeland Security Department last night, and they declined to comment on, quote, counterterrorism operations. But they did say that they believe they are complying with the Supreme Court's original ruling. Still, the ACLU argues that they're not.
