Judge Boasberg scraps Trump hearing on deportations following SCOTUS ruling

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday canceled a deportation hearing for the Trump administration after the Supreme Court ruled the U.S. could continue to carry out deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

The hearing was to determine whether Boasberg would change the temporary restraining order he issued last month to block those deportations into a longer preliminary injunction, according to ABC News.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration could use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected gang members of Tren de Aragua. 

The ruling overturns Boasberg's March 15 order that temporarily blocked deportations under the wartime act, by granting the Trump administration's request to vacate temporary restraining orders Boasberg placed on the order.
