Supreme Court Gives Trump Back His Power

In a significant win for President Trump and his America First agenda, the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the path for the deportation of eight criminal migrants—despite legal resistance from lower courts and left-wing activists.

In a 7-2 decision issued Thursday, the justices ruled that the Trump administration can resume its plans to remove foreign nationals with serious criminal convictions to South Sudan, a country with no direct ties to the individuals in question.

These illegal immigrants, detained since May, had been shielded by an earlier court order from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, an appointee of the previous administration. His injunction temporarily blocked deportations to third countries without extended legal reviews for alleged fears of torture or persecution.

However, last month, the Supreme Court put that injunction on hold. Despite this, Judge Murphy attempted to assert that his May 21 ruling still held legal power—an act that Trump officials described as outright defiance of the high court’s authority.

The Supreme Court firmly rejected the lower court’s actions, stating in an unsigned opinion that the May 21 order could not be used to uphold an injunction that had already been nullified by their stay—effectively invalidating all of Judge Murphy’s prior rulings in the matter.

Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, accusing the majority of siding with the Trump administration without providing enough legal reasoning. Sotomayor lashed out, writing, “The Court’s continued refusal to justify its extraordinary decisions… is indefensible.”

Justice Elena Kagan, typically aligned with the Court’s liberal wing, sided with the majority this time. She agreed that once the injunction had been stayed, Murphy had no authority to block deportations.

Public Safety Comes First

The eight individuals in question—convicted of serious criminal offenses—have been held on a U.S. military base in Djibouti since the flight was halted in May. The Trump administration emphasized the importance of removing these individuals to protect public safety and uphold national sovereignty.

The National Immigration Litigation Alliance, a left-leaning advocacy group, claimed all eight fear being persecuted if sent to South Sudan. But critics argue that criminal non-citizens should not be allowed to remain in the United States under the vague pretense of fear while posing a risk to American communities.

Despite ongoing litigation in lower courts, the Supreme Court’s latest decision removes any immediate legal roadblocks. That means Trump’s team can move forward with additional deportation efforts—an outcome that aligns with his tough-on-crime and secure-border policies.

A Blow to Judicial Overreach

Conservatives have long warned about activist judges obstructing lawful immigration enforcement. Thursday’s ruling is being hailed as a course correction, reasserting the authority of the executive branch to defend America’s borders and enforce immigration laws without unnecessary delays.

This case represents a larger trend as President Trump’s administration continues to push back against globalist legal barriers and restore law and order.
