The Corrupt Supreme Court Strikes Again

Allison Gill

I know, I know - I sound like I’m being overly dramatic given the Supreme Court did just tell the Trump administration they can’t deport people under the Alien Enemies Act proclamation without due process; but is it really due process?

Today, the Supreme Court responded to an emergency motion filed by the Trump regime by vacating Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders that expanded the class of defendants deported under the Alien Enemies Act, and to return them to the United States pending the outcome of the case on the merits.

If you’ve been following my videos and posts, you’ll recall that the Trump regime signed an Alien Enemies Act proclamation in the dark of night March 14th, and kept it a secret as they rounded up people they allege belong to the Tren de Aragua gang to put them on planes before a court could stop them. Lawyers representing five of the detainees filed a lawsuit in the early morning hours of March 15th, resulting in Judge Boasberg holding an emergency hearing which resulted in an order to turn the planes around, bring the deportees back to the United States, and to stop deporting anyone under the AEA proclamation for 14 days.

The Trump administration blatantly defied that order, and today, the Supreme Court rewarded them for that defiance. Not only was the contempt not addressed in the ruling from the high court, but also absent was a resolution to the question of whether the Alien Enemies Act is appropriate given we’re not at war, and any semblance of judicial review on their conclusion that habeas claims are the only remedy for due process concerns.

to maintain some semblance of the constitutional order. I would like to see more analysis of the SCROTUS ruling but haven't seen much
