The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport accused Venezuelan gang members from a detention facility in North Texas.
The brief order came overnight after the American Civil Liberties Union filed an emergency appeal in Piers Ronde-Elving.
The court ruled that the individuals in question in Texas were informed
that they were being deported but not given a chance to contest it.
What's crucial here is that this time the court has intervened before the fact,
before the detainees in question had left the country or,
as in the previous case, were in mid-flight or being loaded onto planes.
That matters because those earlier men, 139 Venezuelans, are in that maximum prison in El Salvador today.
Maryland Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen says one man who was no longer being held at the prison for gang members is Comar Obrego Garcia,
the man the Trump administration says it mistakenly deported.
Van Hollen spoke to reporters following his return to the U.S. from El Salvador.
He says Obrego Garcia has been moved to a detention center with better conditions.
The U.S. and Iran have started a second round of indirect talks over Iran's nuclear program,
today's talks being held in Rome, mediated by the Omani foreign minister, and Piers Hadil al-Shalchi reports.
The Iranian state news agency said
that Iran's foreign minister Abbas Arakchi met with the Italian foreign minister ahead of indirect talks with U.S.
Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
The first round of talks were held last weekend in the Omani capital of Muscat,
when Iran's foreign minister said the two sides discussed the lifting of American sanctions on the country and Iran's nuclear program.
