The justices appear to be trying to avoid a direct conflict with the Trump administration while also blocking certain presidential actions.

Donald Trump's tariffs are set to return around the world after being reinstated by a US court. On Thursday, a federal appeals court temporarily brought back the levies - just one day after a trade court ruled that Trump had "exceeded his authority" in imposing the levies and ordered an immediate block on them.

The Justice Department argued that a federal judge forced the Trump admin to detain migrants in Djibouti, but the timeline tells a different story.

An appeal that landed at the Supreme Court Tuesday could test the justices’ emerging concern about President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation policies and whether he is willing to defy judicial orders.

As the administration ramps up deportation efforts and flirts with suspending habeas corpus, immigrants and attorneys say fear — not the law — is driving current U.S. policy.

The court indicated its decision doesn’t necessarily apply to the central bank and Chairman Jerome Powell — a frequent target of Trump’s criticism on economic matters.
