BREAKING: The Supreme Court, on a 5-4 vote, ends the TROs in the Alien Enemies Act litigation, holding challenges must be brought in habeas and in the jurisdiction in which detainees are held. The court also holds that notice and an actual opportunity to bring a habeas case must be given.
![Per Curiam
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 24A931
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, ET AL. v. J. G. G., ET AL.
ON APPLICATION TO VACATE THE ORDERS ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
[April 7, 2025]
PER CURIAM.
This matter concerns the detention and removal of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), an entity that the State Department has designated as a foreign terrorist organization. See 90 Fed. Reg. 10030
(2025). The President issued Proclamation No. 10903, invoking the Alien Enemies Act (AEA), Rev. Stat. §4067, 50 U.S. C. §21, to detain and remove Venezuelan nationals
"who are members of TdA."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiezkkcdutwyahtcf5pod4zhceobe542uf7r5i6z5ki5fauoyblyk4@jpeg)
![We grant the application and vacate the TROs. The detainees seek equitable relief against the implementation of the Proclamation and against their removal under the AEA.
They challenge the Government's interpretation of the Act and assert that they do not fall within the category of removable alien enemies. But we do not reach those argu-ments. Challenges to removal under the AEA, a statute which largely "preclude[s] judicial review," Ludecke v.
Watkins, 335 U.S. 160, 163-164, (1948), must be brought in habeas. Cf. Heikkila v. Barber, 345 U. S. 229, 234-235
(1953) (holding that habeas was the only cause of action available to challenge deportation under immigration statutes that "preclud[ed] judicial intervention" beyond what was necessary to vindicate due process rights). Regardless of whether the detainees formally request release from con-finement, because their claims for relief "necessarily imply the invalidity'" of their confinement and removal under the AEA, their claims fall within the "core" of the writ of habeas corpus and thus must be brought in habeas. Cf. Nance v.
Ward, 597 U. S. 159, 167 (2022) (quoting Heck v. Humph-rey, 512 U.S. 477, 487 (1994)). And "immediate physical release [is not] the only remedy under the federal writ of habeas corpus." Peyton v. Rowe, 391 U. S. 54, 67 (1968); see, e.g., Nance, 597 U. S., at 167 (explaining that a capital prisoner may seek "to overturn his death sentence" in habeas by "analogly]" to seeking release); In re Bonner, 151 U.S. 242, 254, 259 (1894). For "core habeas petitions," "jurisdic-tion lies in only one district: the district of confinement."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreihh64zigbliim5cgihqylh62vsd4udvmnwxv6regy5crxtrjtwhaa@jpeg)

I *guess* the good news is that IF they can get lawyers AND they can afford it, the 130 men already in El Salvador would have jurisdiction to file habeas claims in DC and not TX or LA.
The Supreme Court did not uphold ANY ASPECT of Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act. It said challengers filed in the wrong court. That's bad news for 130 men already deported to El Salvador. But all major questions about Trump's proclamation are unresolved www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
Supreme Court says Venezuelans Trump wants to deport must be able to ‘actually seek’ relief before being deported
But the court ruled 5-4 to lift a blanket block on all deportations under Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.

The implications of today’s Alien Enemies Act decision will be clearer after we know what happens to Abrego Garcia. The obligation to provide due process before removal will be hollower if the courts can do nothing to remedy an illegal removal after it is complete.
