NEW: Trump administration has officially responded to the application for stay brought by foreign detainees against being deported under the Alien Enemies Act. The Supreme Court late last night issued what appears to be a full-court administrative stay (a temporary pause that doesn’t reflect how the court may rule on the application itself) on the Trump administration from carrying out the deportations. We will likely hear from the Supreme Court next week on what will happen next in the case.
