In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has thrown out the order of District Judge James Boasberg, who blocked removal of Venezuelans to El Salvador without legal process under the Alien Enemies Act. The government had previously indicated that deportations would immediately resume if Boasberg's order was lifted. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in her dissent: "We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it,” adding: "At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong,” citing the notorious ruling that allowed government confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II.
