BarcelonaThe US Supreme Court has halted the forced deportation of a group of Venezuelans in US custody, whom the Trump administration accuses of being part of a terrorist group. The immigrants' lawyers argued that their clients faced an imminent risk of being removed from the country.

"The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court," says the Supreme Court ruling, which is not assigned to any of the court's justices. However, two judges on their records ruled on the deportations.
