In the opinion, Haines noted that she is not settling the matter of whether Trump can use other laws to conduct mass deportations, whether people removed under the act are entitled to habeas relief, or whether the law applies to people who have simply entered the country unlawfully without any relation to a "Foreign Terrorist Organization." "This Court reaches the following definition of 'predatory incursion' under the AEA: 'a hostile entry into the United States by a cohesive group of individuals, such as a military detachment or a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, who are united by a common goal of causing significant disruption to the public safety — whether that be the safety of persons, property, or pecuniary interests — of those within the United States,'" wrote Haines. However, last month, the Supreme Court, in an unsigned opinion, lifted a lower court stay by Judge James Boasberg prohibiting the use of the act for deportations, though they did not rule on the merits and emphasized affected people had the right to be notified and seek review of their deportation before being removed.
