SCOTUS Lifts Order Imposed On Trump Administration

Well, it finally happened. After watching years of open-border chaos, sanctuary city virtue-signaling, and bureaucrats tying our immigration officers’ hands behind their backs, the Supreme Court just handed President Trump—and common sense—a massive win.

In a 5-4 decision, the high court ruled that yes, the President of the United States actually can use the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members. Apparently, you still can secure a country’s borders without running afoul of the Constitution—who knew?

Let’s be crystal clear here. The Trump administration isn’t targeting your grandma’s knitting circle. They’re going after suspected members of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that’s basically MS-13’s unhinged cousin. We’re talking about a transnational criminal syndicate that rose to power while the Biden administration was busy playing musical chairs at the border and pretending the word “illegal” no longer applied to “immigration.”

Trump called them an invading force—and frankly, he’s not wrong. Because when your policies invite the worst of the worst to stroll across the border with zero vetting and zero consequences, you don’t have immigration; you have infiltration.

But of course, DC District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg tried to put a wrench in the works, blocking Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act with a restraining order. Yes, we now live in a world where a judge in Washington, DC believes he has the authority to tell the Commander-in-Chief he can’t deport violent criminals during what is effectively a security crisis. He even tried to stretch his block until mid-April—because nothing says “justice” like giving international gang members a nice, comfy legal cushion.

His daughter is involved as well:

Luckily, the Supreme Court wasn’t buying it. The conservative majority recognized what the Constitution actually says and delivered the kind of legal slapdown that’s been sorely lacking in recent years. They pointed out the obvious—Texas is where these detainees are confined, so no, you can’t venue shop your way into stopping deportations from across the country. And yes, they clarified, suspected gang members still get notice and due process—but in the right court, and not at the expense of national security.

Naturally, the liberal justices, led by Justice Sotomayor, had a meltdown. In her dissent, she accused the Trump administration of trying to subvert the judicial process, claimed the detainees could face “grave harm” in El Salvador, and painted Trump as some kind of rogue dictator. Because apparently, deporting suspected terrorists and violent criminals is now a humanitarian crisis. One wonders if the same concern was extended to the American citizens who’ve suffered from crime waves linked to these very gangs. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

Meanwhile, the administration isn’t wasting time. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Trump’s no-nonsense “border czar” Tom Homan are already rolling out plans to hunt down and deport every last remnant of Tren de Aragua from U.S. soil. El Salvador’s Terrorist Confinement Center—a place so rough it makes Alcatraz look like a spa retreat—awaits.

Trump’s response? Classic. “A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” he wrote on Truth Social, reminding the country that yes, it is still possible to have borders, laws, and consequences. And the cherry on top? A little nod to the rule of law from the same court that Democrats love to scream is “illegitimate” every time it makes a ruling they don’t like.

So here’s the deal: this wasn’t just a win for Trump. It was a win for national security, for the integrity of our legal system, and for every American who’s sick of watching Washington play footsie with foreign criminals. If you’re a terrorist, a gangbanger, or a cartel thug, your time’s up. America’s back to enforcing its laws—and this time, the Supreme Court has the President’s back.
