The Supreme Court on Friday blocked President Donald Trump from moving forward with deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for a group of immigrants in northern Texas, siding with Venezuelans who feared they were poised for imminent removal under the sweeping wartime authority.

Venezuelan men held in Texas had urged the court to prevent the government from sending them to a prison in El Salvador before they could challenge the move in court.
