Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. The Supreme Court has kept in place a temporary

0:07.7

block preventing the Trump administration from deporting migrants and accuses of being members of a

0:13.7

Venezuelan gang. As NPR's Adrian Florido reports, the court said migrants targeted under the

0:19.2

The case was brought by two Venezuelan men at a Texas detention center who were set to be deported last month under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
