BUFFALO, N.Y. - On Saturday, over 600 peaceful protests took place across the country and 20 in New York state. Just like earlier this month, protesters once again spoke out against the Trump administration. Some touched on the handling of migrants and concerns bout the possible implementation of another law, the Insurrection Act. 

Meanwhile, as of Saturday morning, there is a pause on the deportation of immigrants under the "Alien Enemies Act." A Supreme Court ruling froze any action in the case involving a group of Venezuelans in Texas. In an emergency appeal, they said they were at risk of being removed from the country without sufficient notice to challenge their deportation. 

"Gang members, people we knew were involved in activities that were not productive to the United States, all of them [are] removable in terms of our laws, all of them," said U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court said the law could be used, but under two conditions - it had to give anyone subject to it proper notice and the opportunity to contest their deportation. Something that was then challenged and led to the court's decision to hit pause.

The rule also comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem inferred they will not recommend the Insurrection Act of 1807 due to a significant drop in migrant crossings at the border.

But still, some Americans have concerns.

The Insurrection Act would allow the president to use active-duty troops to perform law enforcement functions, including arresting migrants.

"We have more examples of ice making pushy arrests here and there that they're skipping the normal process to give everyone their fair trial. And if some of our community members don't have that right, then none of us have that right, and we need to stand up for the people who are being wrongfully arrested right now," said Peter McNamara, a member of Power to the People New York. 

Across the country, people in opposition of the Trump Administration came together on Saturday in what they called "a day of action."

"When we start accusing people and deporting people without that due process, that is a horrifying sign of what's happening now," McNamara said. "Governments need to serve their people. And we are here to protect the Constitution, to protect American democracy, and to make it clear that we do not approve of what's happening right now in our government."

Protestors say they're using their voice to stand up for those without.

"I can only hope that there's recognition, that a huge portion this is America for everybody, not just this select group of people, not to mention the billionaires who seem to think that it's theirs," said Erik Milbrath of Power to the People New York.

In January, President Donald Trump declared an emergency at the border and is expecting official updates on whether or not the Insurrection Act will need to be invoked.

But again, Homeland Security officials say lately migrant crossings at the southern border have been under 300 a day, a drop from recent years when it was 1,000 or more a day.

Hegseth and Noem are expected to officially notify the president or their decision sometime next week.

"We stand to really preserve what the U.S. is supposed to be a place for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," McNamara said. 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a statement Saturday on X responding to the Supreme Court's pause of the Alien and Enemies Act for the Venezuelans.

"We are confident we will ultimately prevail against the onslaught of merit-less litigation brought by radical activists who care more about the rights of these terrorist aliens than those of the American people," the statement said in part.
