U.S. Supreme Court Requires Due Process Before Deportation Under the Alien Enemies Act, as Judge Boasberg Finds Probable Cause for Criminal Contempt

On April 7, 2025, Justice Roberts, in a per curiam opinion, ruled that the Trump administration could appeal and then vacated the Temporary Restraining Orders issued by Judge Boasberg. The opinion held that the detainees are entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard “appropriate to the nature of the case.” Meanwhile, on April 16, Judge Boasberg issued an order finding probable cause to find the Government in criminal contempt.
