A federal appeals court upheld a ban on deporting Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, rejecting the Trump administration's request to lift the injunction. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg previously ordered for deportations to cease and for affected individuals to be allowed to challenge their status. The administration invoked state secrets privilege to avoid disclosing details about the migrant flights, raising concerns over legal accountability and due process. This ongoing case exemplifies increasing conflicts between federal courts and the White House regarding national security and immigration issues.
