The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to use an 18th-century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants but said they must get a court hearing before they are taken from the United States.

Some relief is flowing through financial markets worldwide Tuesday, and stocks are rising to recover some of their historic losses since President Donald Trump dramatically raised the stakes in his trade war last week. 

The S&P 500 was up 2.4% in midday trading, though it still remains more than 15% below its record set in February. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 926 points, or 2.4%, as of noon Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 2.4% higher.

At least 27 people died, and 160 others were injured in the Dominican capital early Tuesday when the roof collapsed at an iconic nightclub where politicians, athletes, and others were attending a merengue concert, authorities said. 

Crews were searching for potential survivors in the rubble at the one-story jet set nightclub in Santo Domingo, said Juan Manuel Méndez, director of the Center of Emergency Operations.
