President Donald Trump's administration has increasingly turned to the use of emergency appeals to the Supreme Court as it faces more than 130 lawsuits over his executive orders.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump's assertion that judges don't have the power to review his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of a Venezuelan gang. The three-panel court ruled that a judge's ban temporarily barring such deportations could remain in place.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration over its use of the wartime law to quickly deport people, which they say violates due process.
