According to multiple reports, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the Trump Administration could resume deporting illegal migrant criminals to countries that aren’t their home nation.
From The New York Post:
In a 6–3 decision that broke down along ideological lines, the justices stayed a late April ruling by a Boston federal judge that temporarily stymied the rapid deportation effort.
The conservative majority did not provide a rationale for their ruling but liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a scathing dissent joined by fellow liberals Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
“In matters of life and death, it is best to proceed with caution,” Sotomayor wrote. “In this case, the Government took the opposite approach.”
“This Court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defied. I cannot join so gross an abuse of the Court’s equitable discretion.”
Fox News boarder correpsondent Bill Melugin shared an official statement on the ruling from the Department of Homeland Security on X:
“The Supreme Court ruling is a victory for the safety and security of the American people. The Biden Administration allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood our country, and, now, the Trump Administration can exercise its undisputed authority to remove these criminal illegal aliens and clean up this national security nightmare.
“If these activists judges had their way, aliens who are so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won’t take them back, including convicted murderers, child rapists and drug traffickers, would walk free on American streets.
“DHS can now execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens to a country willing to accept them. “Fire up the deportation planes.”
NEW: In statement to @FoxNews, DHS says “fire up the deportation planes” in response to SCOTUS ruling that will allow ICE to deport illegal aliens to countries they aren’t from – a significant tool for ICE to use as some countries won’t take their citizens back.
Full DHS…
