At least temporarily
Supreme Court grants Trump request to lift stay halting Venezuelan deportations
The Supreme Court on Monday granted President Donald Trump’s request to vacate a lower court’s ruling barring the administration from using a 1798 wartime immigration law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals – including alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang – from the U.S., marking a significant victory for the administration as it advances key immigration priorities.
Justices on the high court ruled 5-4 to grant the administration’s request to lift the stay, in a temporary victory for Trump and his allies.
At issue was the Alien Enemies Act, or the immigration law passed by Congress in 1789 to immediately remove certain migrants from U.S. soil.
Lawyers for the Trump administration had urged the court to vacate the lower court ruling, arguing in a Supreme Court filing that the lower court orders “rebuffed” their immigration agenda, including their ability “to protect the Nation against foreign terrorist organizations and risk debilitating effects for delicate foreign negotiations.”
Well, that’s good an all in a nutshell, but, let’s go to MSNBC, if you can believe it, because, did you notice the 5-4 decision?
A divided Supreme Court vacated temporary restraining orders issued by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., which had halted certain deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. The court split 5-4, with Republican appointees in the majority and Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett dissenting alongside the court’s three Democratic appointees.
I hate to say she has become a disappointment, because I appreciate when Judges follow the Constitution and the law, but, she sure seems to be voting with the liberals quite a bit on big cases, eh?
In an unsigned “per curiam” ruling, the majority said detainees must bring their challenges in habeas corpus proceedings and must do so where they are confined. “The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia,” the majority said.
The majority also said detainees under the act “must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.”
The Trump admin should have an immigration judge on hand to adjudicate before they are packed on planes and shipped out.
Writing a dissent joined by the other two Democratic appointees and partially by Barrett, Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the majority’s legal conclusion “suspect.” She said the court granted the government “extraordinary relief” and said the court did so “without mention of the grave harm Plaintiffs will face if they are erroneously removed to El Salvador or regard for the Government’s attempts to subvert the judicial process throughout this litigation.”
What of the grave harm to American citizens from murderers, rapists, child predators, and gang members?
Sonia Sotomayor wrote:
If someone is in the country completely illegally, he can be deported, period. The consequences they face in the country to which they have been deported should not be our concern.
Well, duh.
For example in 2029, President Newsom could snatch a citizen from Mar-a-Lago, have him whisked away to an Atlantic Island controlled by France and claim, “He’s out of our control.”
Another win for Trump and America yet
Rimjob and the demlibs just can’t take the “L”.
More whining please!
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
Thank God. If there is nothing that can be done when a democrat is in office then the reverse should be true.
JOE BIDEN, or more precisely BARAK OBAMA, who was president for the last 4 years, clearly violated the constitution by not following the Immigration law. No repercussions.
Gavin Newsome? Well more likely the only hope the left has is for Fetterman to walz around in his boxer shorts and hoodie. I would consider voting for Fetterman. He is the only democrat I have seen that at least shows some semblance of sanity.
Because if leftist freaks want to keep violent, murdering, rapist in the country under some pretext of keeping Democracy alive….then the only ones making a mockery of Democracy is them. Not Trump.
So thank god he can now speed up the deportations of people who are threatening and killing American C I T I Z E N S to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN after 4 years 12 year of OBAMA/BIDEN did everything they could to turn it into a third world shit hole.
Really? Or, millions of unvetted illegals could cross the border, many of them committing violent acts once here, and according to old Joe and the Democratic Party, there was nothing we could do about it..!
Now you’re even projecting your TDS into the future? And what’s even funnier you’re projecting that greasy skinny slime ball homosexual black face faggot Newsome as president? You and your whole party have gone off the deep end. And I thank you for it.
We told you for four years all your ridiculous hatred for Donald Trump was leading you down the wrong path but you wouldn’t listen. Thank you.
Arguably, the most important human right is our right to ‘due process’!!
This prevents a movement in power from violating the basic human rights of persons in America.
Of what is the #47 Republicun Administration afraid? Are they afraid that basic oversight will stop their anti-Constitutional actions?
We recognize today that FDRs imprisonment of over 100,000 Japanese-Americans (including even citizens) was a gross assault on human rights. And they were denied due process. And although there ere more German-Americans FDR only imprisoned some 10,000. Government agents raided the German-American Bund (pro-Nazi movement) but arrested 76 Naiz sympathizers, although there were thousands of members!
The German-American Bund had several commandments:
Nazi defendants Carl Bregler, Rudolf Markmann, Henry Hauck, Frederick William Van Den Bergh etc went to court, i.e., DUE F’ING PROCESS. If Americans were not afraid of Nazis in America then, why are we terrified of Venezuelans today??
Guess Rimjob doesn’t remember the last 4 years and all that “due process” afforded
Trump by the Biden administration’s political henchmen led by Merrick Garland…
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
LOL. At the time, #45 had all the best “due process” money could buy.
Thought your lame argument was about “due process”.
ED: “Arguably, the most important human right is our right to ‘due process’!!”
Jake Lang would like to think you believe in due process.
Oh, silly me. ‘Due process’ is for illegal alien criminals, not for citizens.
And you wonder why your precious Kamala lost the election.
WINNING?
The High Court gave the current Republicun Administration a 5-4 victory??
In other words (actually, in THE words) the current Republicun Administration must afford due process to the abducted persons. Is the Republicun admin required to bring their captives before a judge?
The catch is that each INDIVIDUAL PERSON must obtain legal representation.
Neither lawyer nor historian.
Logic is not a strong point either for the Rimjob yet he can copy&paste with the best of the libtards.
Keep whining.
Take the “L”, dipshit.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
Strong argument, MAGAturd! LOL.
Rimjob enjoys losing.
