A federal appeals court in Washington on Monday reinstated members of boards who had been fired by President Donald Trump.

A split appeals court says two board members fired by President Donald Trump can go back to their jobs for now in a ruling ahead of a likely Supreme Court showdown on the president’s power over independent agencies.

A court ruled Monday to temporarily reinstate two members of independent federal boards fired by President Donald Trump.

A judge had blocked the Trump administration's use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

The Supreme Court has temporarily paused a lower court’s order to return a deported man to the U.S. from El Salvador. Court documents show the man entered the U.S. illegally in 2011 and the Trump administration said he is an MS-13 gang member,

The Trump administration plans to fine migrants under deportation orders up to $998 a day if they fail to leave the United States and to seize their property if they do not pay, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.

The decision almost certainly tees up another Supreme Court showdown over the power of the president to control every aspect of the executive branch.

The ruling said a judge can't block Trump’s plan nationwide but made it clear that people swept up must have a chance to challenge their seizures before they can be deported.

The U.S. Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a victory on Monday by letting him use a 1798 law that historically has been employed only in wartime to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members as part of the Republican president's hardline approach to immigration.
