Legal experts were fast to analyze the U.S. Supreme Court’s significant order that prevented the Trump administration from carrying out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA).

The high court issued a rare Saturday morning ruling, the sole Saturday order of the term, instructing the government to refrain from deporting any immigrant detainees designated for deportation flights in the Northern District of Texas.

“[T]he Court didn’t wait at all,” Georgetown University Law Prof. Steve Vladeck wrote on his blog. “This may seem like a technical point, but it underscores how seriously the Court, or at least a majority of it, took the urgency of the matter.”

The law professor noted that the justices waited neither for an appellate court to rule on the issue nor gave the government a chance to respond to the emergency request before issuing the order.
