Justice Samuel Alito has written a sharp dissent that castigates the seven-member majority for blocking the Trump administration from deporting any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th-century wartime law.

What the Justice Department actually said in court reinforces the wisdom and necessity of the Supreme Court’s dramatic move.

Samuel Alito's five-page dissent arrived nearly 24 hours after the Supreme Court temporarily barred the government from deporting a group of accused Venezuelan gang members.
