The American district judge James Boasberg canceled a hearing on Tuesday afternoon on the use of the Trump administration of the Alien Enemies Law to have allegation to the members of the migrant gangs without due process, after the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on Monday that the administration could resume the realization of such deportations.
Boasberg had scheduled the hearing to consider whether to convert the temporary restriction order that issued those deportations last month in a more lasting preliminary judicial order, since it reflected on whether the administration into contempt for not providing information on the deportation of more than 200 alleged members of the Venezuelan gangs last month.
Boasberg’s order, canceling the audience on Tuesday, did not address where the contempt problem is.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision on Monday night, ruled that the Trump administration could resume deportations of alleged members of Venezuelan gangs under the alien enemies law, but said that detainees should receive due process to challenge their elimination.
The unpleasant opinion lifted Boasberg’s temporary restriction order, ruling that he lacked the jurisdiction to address the matter.
In response to the ruling of the Supreme Court, the ACLU, which represents several alleged members of Venezuelan gangs that will be sent to El Salvador under the Alien enemies law, presented habit requests in the New York district where men are retained, seeking to challenge their elimination.

Trump last month invoked Alien enemies law -A authority in times of war used to deport non -citizens with little or not due process, arguing that the Venezuelan gang train of Aragua is a “hybrid criminal state” that is invading the United States.
Judge Boasberg temporarily blocked the use of the President of the Law on March 15, ordering that the Government deliver about two flights with more than 200 alleged train members of Aragua to El Salvador.
The authorities could not change the flights, which led the judge to threaten the administration with contempt.
