Ninth Circuit Rejects Trump's Transgender Military Ban; Supreme Court Blocks Deportations Under 1798 Act

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has denied the Trump administration's request to enforce its ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, upholding a lower court's injunction that allows transgender troops to continue serving. In a separate ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily halted the deportation of Venezuelan migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act invoked by President Donald Trump. The Supreme Court's order prevents the immediate removal of these migrants, who are detained in Texas and suspected of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang, until further notice. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), represented by attorney Lee Gelernt, had filed emergency motions to stop the deportations.
