The administration of US President Donald Trump has responded publicly for the first time to a Supreme Court ruling that requires immigrants to be given the opportunity to challenge their deportation before they are expelled from the country.

The White House says invoking the Alien Enemies Act (Trump signed an order on March 14 to invoke this little-known wartime law) allows deport illegal immigrants with little or no due process.

From the time of the verbal statement, they have another 24 hours to actually file a motion to overturn the authorities' decision.

In addition, they are given the opportunity to make a telephone call.

The Supreme Court has ruled that immigration officials must give immigrants facing removal a "reasonable time" to challenge their removal.

Over the weekend of April 19-20, the Supreme Court issued an emergency ruling to halt removals under the Alien Enemies Act for some plaintiffs because the immigrants were not given the necessary time to file their objections in court.

Some people were less fortunate

The Trump administration, under the Alien Enemies Act, has deported Venezuelans believed to be members of the Tren de Aragua gang, among others.

Nearly 300 men were expelled from the United States and placed in a maximum-security prison in El Salvador known as CECOT.

Most of them were sent there before the Supreme Court ruled that the administration could not expel them without notice and a chance to prove they were not gang members.

Many of these inmates later challenged the gang charges through their lawyers and in court. And a recent CBS News investigation found that 75 percent had no criminal record.
