For the second time, the US Supreme Court prevented Donald Trump’s government from using an eighteenth -century war law to remove a group of Venezuelan migrants that authorities claim to belong to a transnational gang, intervened after the lower courts refused to prevent the impending deportation of foreigners to an El Salvador prison.
Although the court usually talks little about deciding on emergency issues, the unlisted opinion of Friday, 16, made clear the growing frustration of judges with the efforts of the White House to accelerate deportations, ignoring the migrant’s constitutional rights to an audience before being removed.
In response, Trump said in Truth Social that the Supreme Court has decided that the “worst killers, drug traffickers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who have entered illegally into our country, cannot be forced to go out without going through a process that will allow them to commit many crimes before they see the inside of a court.”
