In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump’s request to lift a lower court’s stay that had blocked the administration from using a 1798 wartime immigration law to deport Venezuelan nationals, Fox News reports. This ruling is a significant win for the administration’s immigration policies, allowing for the immediate removal of certain illegal immigrants, including members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
The core of the issue is the Alien Enemies Act, enacted in 1789, which permits the swift removal of specific migrants from U.S. soil. Before Trump’s second term, this law had been invoked only three times in U.S. history: during the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II.
The Trump administration’s lawyers argued that the lower court’s orders hindered their immigration agenda and ability to protect the nation against foreign terrorist organizations, potentially undermining foreign negotiations.
According to Fox News, “President Trump took to Truth Social to react to the decision in a post: ‘The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!’”
This decision follows U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s temporary order last month, which temporarily blocked the use of the 1798 law for 14 days. An appeals court upheld this pause in a 2-1 decision.
Both Boasberg and the appellate panel questioned the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act and the deportation of hundreds of migrants to El Salvador shortly after Trump’s proclamation. Concerns arose when deportation flights proceeded around the same time as Boasberg’s temporary halt order, leading to questions about whether officials knowingly defied the order, which required flights already in the air to return immediately.
Boasberg is considering holding Trump administration officials in contempt of court for not providing requested information about the deportation flights. Government lawyers cited national security concerns for their non-compliance. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign suggested the flight information wasn’t classified, leading Boasberg to question why it was not provided.
The court also pressed for the names, locations, and agencies of those involved in the removals and any internal discussions about monitoring court proceedings. This legal battle is ongoing, with Boasberg still weighing potential contempt charges and a preliminary injunction hearing, even as the Supreme Court ruling may not conclude Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.
Those DEMON RATS judges BRAKE THE LAW stopping the president from executing his duty.
Can we file law suits against everyone of those TRAITORS?
It is about time but late. The SCOTUS needs to clear all of this up fast or face consequences from Congress. Put everything else on hold until they get the lower courts under the law. Remove this judge and others who just can’t stand to abide by the law.
Radical democrat policy’s continue to cost tax payer’s billions, time to vote them out of office, get the illegal’s out of the Country, tax payer’s just can’t afford all the Democrat run away spending policy’s, backed up by their own radical bias appointed democrat judges. Now Congress should finish the decision the high court did not and keep district judges in district courts not Executive matters. Congress controls District Judges not the Democrats..
The Soopreeme Courtesans have Spoken and there can be no further verdicts, except by a revision from those Courtesans sitting on high at Delphi.
Just because You or Me consider thisa “Win” does not obfuscate the above fact of life here in the USSA, as sure as day dawns the Oracles will rule against You/Me. Where is the Constitution ? Covered up by “Case Law” and Lawyers in Dirty Black Robes.
There is even a bigger issue that remains Unsettled even by the Force of Our Great CW. States Rights vs DC Centralized Authority. It Depends on Who occupies the Central Authority, Who the Rebellious States ARE, and “How” Rebellious they become.
A Country as “Differsified” as the DisUnified States of America reflecting the Lack of a Unifying Common Principle/s may just disintegrate under any whirlwind.
Just pondering, because I can’t find much in common with democRats and I dislike rinoRats immensely.
It takes Rational Thought to prevail over Reactive Emotion to keep a Cohesive Society…… and I must admit to my dwindling Rationality in the face of our current cultural Insanity.
I still Do Wish Us Well, I’m just no longer “Not Sure” about those “other bastards”.
Fill those transport planes up and send those illegals back where they came from!
