A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard arguments on March 24 on whether to halt a lower court’s order that prevented the Trump administration from deporting alleged members of a Venezuelan gang under the Alien Enemies Act.

It’s unclear how the court will rule, but at least one judge, Judge Patricia Millett, seemed skeptical of the administration’s position.
