Trump: The Supreme Court Is Blocking Execution of the Law

The Supreme Court's lawless ruling means that every single illegal alien is supposed to get a full trial before the President is permitted to follow the actual law.

Trump pushes back against SCOTUS: Trials for all illegal aliens "would take 200 years"
President Trump blasted the courts Monday after the Supreme Court paused deportation flights, saying it's "not possible" to try every illegal alien before removal. The administration planned to use the Alien Enemies Act to remove migrants suspected of gang affiliations, but the Court's intervention has delayed the effort.
Key Details:
Trump says the courts are "stymieing" efforts to deport criminal migrants.
He claims holding trials for each case would take "200 years."
Justice Alito sharply criticized the Court's late-night halt of deportations.
Diving Deeper:
President Trump is once again confronting judicial interference in his push to restore law and order at the southern border. In a fiery post on Truth Social Monday, the president said his administration is being "stymied at every turn" by the courts--including the U.S. Supreme Court--which recently stepped in to temporarily halt deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act.
The move came as the administration prepared to deport illegal aliens, including suspected gang members, to countries like Venezuela and El Salvador. Trump, however, made clear that despite the Supreme Court's pause, his commitment to protecting American communities remains unchanged.
"We cannot give everyone a trial," Trump wrote, noting that the volume of deportation cases would require "hundreds of thousands of trials," an undertaking he said would take "200 years." His point? The system is not only overwhelmed--it's structurally incapable of dealing with the crisis Democrats helped create.
...
The deportation pause also drew fire from Justice Samuel Alito, who dissented from the Court's late-night order. Alito criticized the decision as hasty and lacking legal justification, writing that there was "no good reason" for issuing the order "literally in the middle of the night."
Trump gave a nod to Alito's dissent, calling the Justice "right" to want the deportation freeze lifted. "If we don't get these criminals out of our Country, we are not going to have a Country any longer," the president warned.

Alito blasted the 7-2 majority, which included all three of Trump's disappointing Supreme Court picks, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and the dizzy neoliberal schoolmarm Barrett.

I think this sounds like pure cope, but Jonathan Turley claims the Supreme Court is showing its "frustration" with the hundreds of "half-baked" injunctions being granted against Trump by political freelancers of the district courts, and they're showing this frustration by... backing those political freelancers?

Supreme Court Becoming Increasingly Frustrated With 'Half-Baked' Cases Challenging Trump Deportations, Turley Says
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Sunday that justices on the Supreme Court are showing signs of "frustration" with lower courts over deportation cases.
The Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump administration's efforts to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) early Saturday morning, saying detainees needed to have a chance to challenge their deportations. Turley said the high court was being forced into an "increasingly improvisational" approach by the sheer number of emergency cases.
"What Justice Alito is objecting to is that this is becoming increasingly improvisational," Turley told "Fox News Sunday" host Shannon Bream. "You have covered the Supreme Court for years, as I have, and we rarely see this level of number of emergency cases going in front of the Supreme Court. And a lot of them are half-baked in the sense that they simply don't have the normal details, the record that you have. And the justices are expressing their frustration."

Turley observed that United States District Judge Boasberg of the District of Columbia had particularly irritated some of the justices.
"Previously, they expressed frustration for the district courts. You know, in the case of Judge Boasberg, they said, 'What is this doing in your court? This is a habeas case that belongs down south.' And I think that they are showing some of that frustration," Turley told Bream. "And I think all parties should take heed of that. I think going to the Fourth Circuit decision, the Trump administration should not be alienating Chief Justice Roberts and others. They need to tone down this language a bit."
...
"A lot of these challengers are bringing these cases fast and furious to the court, and what Alito is saying is, 'What are we basing this decision on? These things are coming to us with virtually no record.'"

They're so frustrated with the lawless district court rulings that they're endorsing them?

I have usually thought that we should respect the Court but I am done with that. Trump should do what Andrew Jackson did and simply ignore the Supreme Court.

1) comply with our entry requirements
2) show up at a PoE with a valid passport and if needed, a visa
3) report to a CBP official

If those requirements are met, congratulations, you get due process. If not, you get sent home, straight home, you do not pass go and do not collect $200.

18 Biden('s administration) already set president here. They ignored when the courts told them their college loan cancellations were illegal.

The idea that illegal aliens (who are, you know, illegally here) require a court hearing before deportation is a bit absurd. Which is the point, it's the unigovernment fighting back (through the squishes on the court).

Posted by: Gaff at April 22, 2025 01:29 PM (EqzMw)

19 The goal of flooding the border (and as we now know, paid for by our tax dollar courtesy of a bunch of USSAID fronts) was to overwhelm the system and delay otherwise inevitable deportation so long that the illegals would get lost in the system, marry, have kids, or find another way of getting a foothold into us citizenship, or they'd eventually be granted amenesty by the next lib president/congress.

The "amnesty by app" was allowed by Biden's executive order, was it not? I can't believe it would withstand scrutiny but either way, Trump's solution is on much more solid ground.

You can't have due process for 30 plus million people with another million coming in every year. The law is firmly on the side giving the Executive the power to deport these people quickly.

Even when these illegals lose in court and are given deportation orders, we're not allowed to deport them

Posted by: Leupold at April 22, 2025 01:29 PM (4pwAx)

22 If the rule is that Democratic Administrations can bring in millions of illegal immigrants every year, while Republican Administrations can only deport a couple of hundred thousand people a year (because of the requirement that you can't deport people without an extensive legal process), that is the end of the United States.

27 Now, San Francisco Democrats are out to save the National Democratic Party. They're calling it "The New Pragmatism," instead of the "old pragmatism" that was singularly unpopular at the polls. But you know the old saying about putting lipstick on a pig.

I guess the San Francicsco radicals think that as long as every other Tom, Dick, and Harry (gender fluid) is giving their two cents on how to save the Democratic Party, why not us?

Local Democrats are horrified to see that many of the policies that they adopted, like no-bail for almost everything except mass murder and putting law enforcement in a straitjacket, were actually adopted across the country. San Francisco Democrats are chagrined at the damage they've caused. So, naturally, they want to make up for it by claiming that they weren't really serious about all that radical stuff.

37 Biden('s administration) already set president here. They ignored when the courts told them their college loan cancellations were illegal.

This is frequently asserted but it is untrue.

Biden would announce a policy, the courts would rule that he couldn't do that, then Biden would announce a new, slightly different policy. This actually worked better for him as he was always getting the positive press that he was forgiving student loans when, in reality, for most people they were only paused - but, I believe, still accruing interest.

I'm fine with due process for deportations. In sane times, it was very quick and perfunctory.

"you here illegally?"

"yep."

"Adios!"

We should have a system that stops people from being mistakenly deported.

But we should also be able to process hundreds of people per day per judge.

They are not entitled to a full trial, and I'm not sure what would even happen in a full trial since this not a question of facts, it's a question of law. "Are you legally entitled to be here" is nothing something a jury is needed for.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at April 22, 2025 01:34 PM (uCjyK)

47 I am thoroughly confused on what the current Supreme Court ruling actually means. Two weeks ago they ruled that Trump could use the alien whatever act of 1789 to immediately remove terrorist who belong to a gang that has been declared by the executive branch as a terrorist organization. Now they’ve decided he can’t remove them until they have trials? There’s so much misinformation on this coming from both sides that I really don’t know what the Supreme Court actually said. I thought this was a temporary injunction, if it’s not, is it now a complete reversal of what they said two weeks ago? Is it just over one case, the one that the ACLU brought? Truthfully people like Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Turley give their learned bullshit opinions, colored by trying to save the judiciary and they’ve been wrong most of the time. I’m having a hard time listening to them. I have more trust in the people here than I do either one of them.

Just like the uncuttable budget, endless waves of illegals, endless wars abroad, and judicial supremacy, Trump is taking on all the sacred cows of the Uniparty.

So far, the public is behind him and the more that the Courts, like the Dems pick the 20 percent public support instead of the 70-80 percent of the public. Trump will win in the end and they will lose quite deservedly.

Globo Homo is in retreat everywhere in the West resorting to judges and criminalizing their opponents. This is the last refuge of scoundrels.

These fops in robes pretending to dispense law will lose as the public no longer sees them as the good guys because all their efforts are now trying to prop up regimes that are anti-democratic and corrupt.

53 I see this is part of the Left's goal of reforming immigration law.

The last big bill -- the ones the Dems kept saying would have "fixed" the border -- had some terrifying reforms in it, and it is just the kind of thing the Dems grab onto like a dog with a bone and keep fighting for for years until they win.

If I recall, it had three main changes.
-They moved all immigration courts to DC
-They eliminated the adversarial process so the gov. could not make the case for denying asylum or deportation, whatever.
-They provided legal defense to immigrants paid by gov.

So it would have turned our immigration courts into a one way ratchet of pouring money into the immigration bar in order to fill the country with "newcomers."

That is part of the big problem here -- the immigration bar, or the lawyers who make millions $10k at a time off immigrants selling them green cards by knowing the process.

After the Reagan amnesty, under Clinton, those lawyers saw massive increase in revenue and they all got rich. They started lobbying hard for more more more. They wanted the immigrants, they knew the system, and they paid Dems to give them the laws to increase their own revenue.

60 This is flat out a Court created Crises. The Courts have slowly but surely gained more power unto themselves since they were created... and the Congress has allowed this.

When ANY group gets to define their own power, eventually they will give themselves more power... The 'rules' that 'enforce' all this Court power, is written by the Supreme Court itself... but there is no real mechanism in place within those rules, to FIRE subordinate Judges no matter HOW many times they are overturned, or break those rules... no way to even chastise them except with a 'strongly worded' opinion.

Congress needs to step in... but won't... because the GOPe is so afraid of winning, they will talk loudly while doing nothing.

70 That is part of the big problem here -- the immigration bar, or the lawyers who make millions $10k at a time off immigrants selling them green cards by knowing the process.

After the Reagan amnesty, under Clinton, those lawyers saw massive increase in revenue and they all got rich. They started lobbying hard for more more more. They wanted the immigrants, they knew the system, and they paid Dems to give them the laws to increase their own revenue.

71 This idea that every person here illegally needs a trial to determine if they can be deported is nuts.

There's a story out this morning about some guy in New Mexico who went to the border, told the Border Patrol that he was an illegal from Mexico, so they took him at his word and locked him up for 10 days until his family showed up with his Social Security card and birth certificate proving he was an American citizen.

What is up with that?

Is this some crazy dude looking for attention or is the left trying to fake cases of innocents being shipped to El Salvador?

73 50 Millions of people who refused to follow the LEGAL process to get into the United States DO NOT deserve ANY legal process in being removed.

As I mentioned earlier, what Trump needs is a "hanging judge," a Roy Bean.

Unlike Trump's wishes for brown people, hopefully he WILL have a trial. And hopefully it will be covered in the press like Watergate and Iran Contra. And, hopefully, the electorate will pay attention and remember. (I realize that there is no f'ing chance for that.)

78 Truthfully people like Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Turley give their learned bullshit opinions, colored by trying to save the judiciary and they’ve been wrong most of the time. I’m having a hard time listening to them. I have more trust in the people here than I do either one of them.
Posted by: Jen the original
=====
Turley and McCarthy are both lawyers and are deeply invested in the system to the point where legalism becomes a quasi religion.

Neither are particularly well versed in political theory or even studies on judicial behavior that put how judges behave strictly within a framework of rational choice and politics. Turley and McCarthy (and most of the legal profession itself) are neither legal historians or political scientists so they are largely ignorant of how courts are and have been political players on the par with kings, presidents, or even dictators.

Every single civilization and political system in history ends up setting up courts. And they eventually, if not kept in check, end up trying to dominate whether they are priests or judges in the biblical sense. That is because dispute resolution is necessary in every system of government to prevent disorder.

89 As I understand the Democrats, Biden is excused from following the SCOTUS order to not forgive student loans, because he cooked up some alternative legal theory not addressed by the Court, by which he was allowed to proceed.

So that means Trump just needs some other unspoken legal grounds to do whatever he wants, and never share it with the courts (so they can't overrule it), and then the Democrats should be fine with him disregarding the SCOTUS the way Biden did.

And yet, most of those judges will double down until they lose everything because they are actually political actors in robes.

There is a reason that France puts former presidents and the minister of Justice aka Attorney General on their Council of State and forbid it the power to decide constitutionality on past legislation.

Trump's strategy seems to be two track.
1. deport criminals
2. cut benefits, jobs, etc. for non-criminals so they self deport.

The Dems are resisting on both tracks. The criminals are probably the bigger problems because they have income from crime and will not self deport.

Well, this latest decision (the premature order) destroys even the figleaf that Roberts simply wanted matters to play out in lower courts. Alito rightly calls out Roberts (and the other six hacks in black) for ignoring the Court's own rules and policies in deciding the case based on no record whatsoever. In essence, almost as some have put it, like hearing the case in its original docket. All the issues of fact came not from a judge nor a court of appeals but from the adversary brief of the ACLU. Not legal, not wise, but very political.

142 Trump should do what Andrew Jackson did and simply ignore the Supreme Court.

----------

I've been saying this for my entire adult life. It's been way, way too long since a President (FDR) punched the Court in the face. They've gotten above their raising and it's high time they took a beating. Jackson's beatdown of that black robed faggot John Marshall was better than FDR's approach, so that's the template.

Though I'd be absolutely fine with it if Trump just rolled a column of tanks down Capitol St and hammered the Court with 120mm shell fire til it was reduced to playground gravel.

Please point me to any potential activist judges on the Right. The closest would have been the late Janice Brown from California. Being a true originalist means also being able the correct the misrule decisions of the past Courts to get back to the original meaning of the Constitution.

Problem is and was, almost all of the legal profession is neither proficient in originalism of either strain (thought or textualism) and law schools refuse to teach it in favor of magical law jurisprudence. Restraint in leaving bad precedent undisturbed would mean we accept Plessy v. Ferguson among other rancid precedents from that time which we actually do (see Cruikshank, Slaughterhouse, etc.)

Randy Barnett, Seth Tillman, and Josh Blackman are about the few legal scholars taking originalism seriously. Occasionally, you see a state high court judge taking it seriously but most simply see their role as problem solvers using the current framework and cannot think outside it.

Yes, it was true with DACA, true with anchor babies, and true with illegals, grafting contracts, etc.

Totally political misunderstanding of property rights conceived by teh Framers.

Meanwhile the Court has given its stamp of approval on deprivation of fair elections, approved all kinds of administrative seizures of money and goods from innocents due to 'drugs', facilitated 'takings' of private property to be turned over to other private actors using eminent domain for economic gain. Made people take clot shots, delayed and denied rights of conscience to religious care providers, etc. etc.

And they have eviscerated speedy trial, discovery, fair juries, unconstitutional imprisonment in vile conditions, etc. just to punish the J6ers for lese majeste. I find them repugnant as a mass aside from a few brave judges.

Roberts is compromised. Yes, he is on the passenger manifest for Epstein Island. No, it’s not another guy with the same name. He’s being blackmailed. What I find compelling is that up to a certain time he was all against Obamacare, writing all sorts of briefs against it. Then suddenly he changes his mind and revises everything he wrote to say the opposite, sort of like a simple declaratory sentence in Japanese can be inverted by putting “nai” at the end. From that point on Roberts has not been a free man but a slave. A “tax” indeed

Not aware of any. Souter was a friggin disaster and so was Sandy O'Conner. Neither were originalists.
I can think of mebbe Don Willett now on the 5th Circuit perhaps but none that would be activist enough to roll back 150 years of jurisprudence. Law Schools simply do not teach how to even argue cases from natural law (which always undercuts bad statutory law or from originalism) and the few original judges around nowadays got there by their own self learning, not from Federalist Society soirrees, or Heritage Fund getaways.

It took nearly 90 years for our black-robed leaders to “discover” that the 14th Amendment prohibited segregation. Just like it took nearly 150 years to discover a “right” to buttsex marriage.

I’m not saying segregation was good. But if the original intent of the 14th was to end segregation, why did it take nearly a century for it to happen?

The state I got my drivers license in 20 something years ago does not require you stop on a divided highway, because that would be mildly retarded. The kids obviously aren't climbing over a Jersey barrier on their way home from school.

But NY doesn't have that exception. You must stop any time you see the school buses red lights, even if you're driving in a 55 mph zone going in the other direction, apparently.

They did. The Civil Rights Act of 1876 banned racial discrimination in public accommodations and Scotus in 1883 killed it as unconstitutional. That is why the Civil Rights Act of 1964 relied on the interstate commerce clause which teh FDR case had enhanced after Wickard to the level of the God Clause.

The Slaughterhouse Cases eviscerated the privileges and immunities clause in the 14th, Wong Ark Kim misinterpreted the 14th natural born clause according to original intent, and the Cruikshank Case denied a federal right to own firearms in a despicable case. Scotus went further and actually added separate but equal by approving Louisiana's segregation by law to the 14th Amendment.

None of these decisions are in any way original in either intent or text.

Court has been doing shitty things to the Constitution since John Marshall was Chief.

Yes, in theory. Many did not go to law school, or graduate from any formal schooling in, er, somewhat recent years.

Justice Jackson, who served up until the 1950's, for example, did not go to law school. He was "read in to the bar."

Posted by: Harry Paratestes

It helped that Justice Jackson was a close friend of FDR from gubernatorial days and was one of the few that could actually tell off FDR when some crackpot scheme came up. One example was Jackson was assigned to the Treasury Department as a lawyer and he told off FDR about his likely coming failure to prosecute former Hoover Treasury Sec. Mellon for tax evasion. Case failed at court because it was obvious the case was political hit job from the beginning. Jackson got promoted to AG and did a good job there before becoming an associate justice. The greatest tragedy is that Truman put Vinson in as Chief Justice instead of Jackson.

You can argue that using AI but not reality at the time. The Court rejected the 13th Amendment badges of slavery as empowering Congress to affect individuals when it was individuals that were applying that to blacks based on past slave status. Even the Court itself recognized that in its opinion that the badges of slavery could be a power of Congress but not in this case because of its hangups on direct and indirect (see that again in EC Knight).

310 For anybody who has heard of Barnes, who is a high profile constitutional lawyer who works for an organization that takes on high profile civil rights cases, he explained it pretty well.

"Due process" means different things, depending on the situation. It doesn't necessarily even mean a judge or court is involved.

Deportation does not involved the government seizing your property of putting you in jail, so the so the standard of due process is hardly anything at all. Due process, in that case, is a border patrol officer asking if you to show that you are a US citizen, or at least legally in the country. If you can't show that, you are deported.

Deportation is NOT taking your property or your liberty. What it IS, is basically giving you a ride home. Because your country of origin IS your home. Just like how you don't need a judge or a trial for a security guard to remove somebody from private property.

Posted by: MrExcitement at April 22, 2025 03:10 PM (hOOi9)

311 The SCOTUS better wise up on this, because there's such a thing as separation of powers, and if the Judicial Branch tries to make it impossible for the Executive Branch to do its job, the Executive Branch is going to have to defy them, just as Andrew Jackson famously did, long ago.

The SCOTUS only has power when the people have confidence in them as legitimately doing the right thing. They have no enforcement power. If the Executive Branch doesn't do what they say, SCOTUS doesn't have some sort of police force or army to make them comply.

And Congress wouldn't dare remove POTUS from office on a "80/20" issue that SCOTUS is being completely unreasonable about. Nothing in the Constitution says the SCOTUS are dictators that have the final say on anything. It's a matter of custom, precedent, and necessity. But when they make a problem of themselves, that goes out the window.
