Shortly before 1 a.m. on Saturday, the Supreme Court issued an emergency order halting the deportation of violent gang members to El Salvador. The court did not wait for Alito's dissent.
Alito's scathing dissent.

In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order. I refused to join the Court's order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate.
