- Court Ruling: The Supreme Court temporarily blocked Trump’s use of an obscure law to deport Venezuelan migrants without due process.
- Trump’s Response: Trump lashed out at the judiciary, slamming “weak and ineffective judges” who are allowing an “attack on our nation” to continue.
- Dissenting Opinion: Justice Samuel Alito called the court’s emergency ruling “legally questionable,” stating that it was issued without hearing from the opposing party.
- Constitutional Crisis: Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar warned that the country is “closer and closer” to a constitutional crisis due to Trump’s actions.
- Deportation Policy: The Trump administration’s deportation policy has been met with opposition from federal judges, rights groups, and Democrats, who argue that it tramples constitutionally enshrined rights.
The court’s decision temporarily halts the deportation of Venezuelan migrants being held in Texas, who have been accused of being gang members. The ruling also prevents the government from continuing to expel migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Trump’s insistence on protecting American citizens against undocumented migration has sparked controversy and debate.
