The Supreme Court issued an emergency order at 1 a.m., temporarily blocking the Trump administration from deporting a group of detainees in Texas.
The order, unsigned and without explanation, directed the administration not to remove any members of the affected group until further action by the court.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the majority opinion.
