Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Effort to Fast-Track Deportations
The Supreme Court stopped the Trump administration from quickly deporting people, specifically Venezuelan men accused of gang membership, using an old law.
The administration wanted to remove these individuals faster, but the court said they had to follow proper legal procedures.
