A federal appellate court declined to issue a stay on a lower court’s orders in a suit challenging the Trump administration’s authority to deport Venezuelan nationals via a 1798 wartime law.

In a 2-1 decision Wednesday, a three-judge panel sided with the plaintiffs in the suit, further blocking the Trump administration’s ability to move forward with its deportation agenda.

Judges Karen Henderson, Patricia Millett and Justin Walker of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals presided over Monday’s oral arguments, which they agreed to hear last week on an expedited basis.
