US supreme court orders temporary halt to deportations of Venezuelan men

The order is the latest example of how the courts are challenging the Trump administration's overhaul of the immigration system

The US supreme court has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily halt the deportation of Venezuelan men in immigration custody, after their lawyers said they were at imminent risk of removal without the judicial review previously mandated by the justices.

The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court," the justices said early on Saturday.
