The legal standoff intensifies as U.S. lawyers representing Venezuelan men detained in Texas seek intervention from the Supreme Court to prevent their deportation. The Trump administration's action has raised concerns about adherence to constitutional limits and potentially sparked a constitutional crisis.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed motions to halt the deportation of these Venezuelans allegedly classified as members of the Tren de Aragua gang. The case highlights the tension between executive authority and judicial oversight, posing significant implications for governmental checks and balances.
