Three times in the past week, and six since Trump took office, the Justice Department has asked the high court to step into cases much earlier than usual.

Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to allow his use of a 1798 law to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members as part of his hardline approach to immigration, arguing that courts must not encroach on the president's national security authority.
