In a case challenging the Trump administration's authority
to deport Venezuelan citizens under a 1798 wartime law, a federal appeals court
refused to stay a lower court's orders.
The Trump administration's deportation program was further
slowed when a three-judge panel ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit
by a vote of 2 to 1.
On Monday, Judges Karen Henderson, Patricia Millett, and
Justin Walker of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments, and
they agreed to expedite the case last week.
