Trump needed this.
High Court Decision Allows Trump Administration to Protect U.S. Borders from Criminal Aliens
In a major victory for American sovereignty and public safety, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that President Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to resume deporting suspected Venezuelan gang members under the historic Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a national security law unused since World War II.
The decision lifts a lower court’s temporary block and allows the Trump administration to remove foreign nationals believed to be tied to the ultra-violent Tren de Aragua gang—an international criminal network that surged across the U.S. border during the Biden-era immigration crisis.
Trump Wins Big on Immigration and Border Security
The conservative majority on the Court determined the Biden-era judge had no jurisdiction to halt deportations from Texas in a D.C. courtroom. The ruling reaffirmed President Trump’s authority to act decisively in times of national threat.
“This ruling affirms the president’s right to use legal tools to protect American lives and enforce immigration laws,” the majority wrote.
The opinion made clear that while foreign detainees must receive legal notice and access to a hearing, they must do so in the proper court—not by forum shopping in activist-friendly jurisdictions.
President Trump: ‘A Great Day for Justice in America!’
President Trump, who has prioritized strong borders and law enforcement throughout his presidency, hailed the Court’s decision:
“The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to secure our Borders and protect our families,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!”
Trump, 78, invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month after reports revealed that dangerous cartel-affiliated gang members had entered the country and were operating with near impunity under Biden’s open-border policies.
Liberal Judges Object—But Americans Want Safety First
Liberal justices on the Court dissented, claiming the administration attempted to deport suspects before court hearings could be held. Justice Sonia Sotomayor accused the Trump administration of “subverting” the judicial process.
“President Trump acted covertly to bypass both constitutional protections and statutory requirements,” she wrote.
Even Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined parts of the dissent, but stopped short of rejecting Trump’s use of the law itself.
Trump Administration: ‘We’re Rounding Them Up and Sending Them Back’
Top Trump officials wasted no time in responding.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Border Enforcement Chief Tom Homan issued a joint statement:
“We are deploying every federal resource to locate, detain, and deport criminal aliens and members of Tren de Aragua,” Bondi said.
“This is a massive win for the Rule of Law. No activist judge will block President Trump from protecting the homeland.”
Noem declared:
“It’s a very bad day to be a criminal alien in the United States of America. The Trump administration is restoring commonsense immigration enforcement.”
The suspected gang members are being deported to El Salvador’s notorious Terrorist Confinement Center, a state-of-the-art supermax prison designed to hold violent transnational criminals.
Why This Matters: The Stakes Are High for America’s Future
This landmark decision sends a powerful message: America will not tolerate lawlessness or criminal infiltration across its borders. President Trump’s immigration crackdown—backed by centuries-old legal authority—marks a return to strength, safety, and sanity after years of border chaos.
