The Trump administration asked the justices to weigh in after a federal judge paused the president’s use of a wartime powers law to deport Venezuelans it accused of being gang members.

A divided US Supreme Court let President Donald Trump resume using a wartime law to try to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, giving the administration a boost in a high-profile clash over the limits of presidential power.

The ruling said a judge can't block Trump’s plan nationwide but made it clear that people swept up must have a chance to challenge their seizures before they can be deported.
