Over the Easter weekend, the Supreme Court issued a remarkable order in the wee hours of Saturday morning blocking President Donald Trump from immediately removing a group of Venezuelan immigrants from a detention center in Texas and, potentially, sending them to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

In an extraordinary, if perhaps temporary, rebuke to the Trump administration, the Supreme Court issued an order at around 1 a.m. on Saturday forbidding the government from deporting a group of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act.
