Courts Finally Stall Trump’s Deportation Agenda

Rulings restore migrant kids’ legal aid, block mass Venezuelan deportations, and more.

WASHINGTON — Federal courts across the United States are mounting a significant resistance to President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies, delivering a series of rulings that challenge his administration’s efforts to deport migrants and strip legal protections.

At the forefront is the high-stakes Supreme Court case Trump v. J.G.G., where the administration seeks to use a wartime law to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members with minimal due process.

Meanwhile, lower courts have reinstated legal aid for migrant children and paused the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, marking a judicial counteroffensive against Trump’s immigration agenda.
