The US #SupremeCourt on Friday kept in place its block on Trump's deportations of #Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law historically used only in wartime after their lawyers said the government was set to remove the men without #judicial review in #violation of a prior #CourtOrder by the justices.

WTF
A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed #Trump to continue collecting #tariffs under an #EmergencyPowers law for now, as his admin appeals an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies.
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an emergency motion from the Trump admin arguing a halt is “critical for the country’s national security.”[bull-fucking-shit]
