Trump and prominent conservative voices react…
The Supreme Court on Friday sided with a group of Venezuelan migrants, halting their deportation under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act in a setback for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The justices ruled that the migrants hadn’t been given adequate time to challenge their deportations—a decision echoing prior court rulings on due process concerns for illegal immigrants.
Trump has invoked the centuries-old law to fast-track deportations, but the latest ruling marks another obstacle for the administration’s effort to remove detainees already held in immigration custody in northern Texas.
Trump reacted to the ruling on TRUTH Social, saying, “THE SUPREME COURT WON’T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott also blasted the decision, predicting Americans will be “outraged.”
“This is insanity. The courts refused to stop Biden from unlawfully importing illegal immigrants. Now the Supreme Court is stopping Trump from removing immigrants who are here illegally. The majority of Americans will be outraged at this injustice,” Abbott posted on X.

Trump ally and investigative reporter Laura Loomer shared the decision on X, saying, “SCOTUS has betrayed our country and President Trump by blocking his ability to deport criminal gang members back to Venezuela under the Alien Enemies Act without ‘proper notice’. What type of notice needs to be given aside from ‘Get the f**k out of our country you sick animal’?
