Supreme Court makes major ruling on deportation of Venezuelan migrants

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : All three of the justices appointed by Donald Trump during his first term sided with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's three liberals, with only Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting 'We recognize the significance of the Government´s national security interests as well as the necessity that such interests be pursued in a manner consistent with the Constitution,' the justices said in an unsigned opinion.
48% : But she did say the Act can be used to remove Venezuelan citizens who are at least 14 years old, who are in the U.S. without legal immigration status, and who are members of Tren de Aragua.
48% : The violent Venezuelan super gang Tren de Aragua had expanded to take foothold in 16 states across the US, Homeland Security officials warned last November before Trump was elected 'But if it has done so, today´s order is doubly extraordinary,' Alito wrote.
43% : 'In approaching these issues, the Court begins by stressing the questions that it is not resolving at this time.' The ruling doesn't address whether the administration can remove people under other immigration laws, nor does it address whether Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport people who simply migrated to the U.S. and who aren't members of a foreign terrorist organization, Haines wrote.
42% : All three of the justices appointed by Donald Trump during his first term sided with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's three liberals, with only Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissenting.
41% : Earlier this week, Pennsylvania Judge Stephanie Haines (pictured) said the Act can be used to remove Venezuelan citizens who are at least 14 years old, who are in the U.S. without legal immigration status, and who are members of Tren de Aragua The act would allow the President to forcibly remove citizens of an 'enemy nation' who it deems to be 'dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States' or involved in 'treasonous' acts He was arrested in February after a neighbor reported that he is a member of Tren de Aragua - a claim the man vehemently denies.
35% : In November before Trump took office, it was revealed the Venezuelan super gang's territory covered half of America's population, posing challenges for law enforcement agencies across the US who are trying to combat the mob's wave of crime.
25% : 'The circumstances,' Kavanaugh wrote, 'call for a prompt and final resolution.' Trump issued a proclamation in March claiming that Tren de Aragua was invading the U.S.
22% : Trump - who has waged rhetorical war against lower courts throughout his second term - quickly voiced his anger at the court on Truth Social.
20% : Trump said he was trying to get rid of 'the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally.' He complained that the court's ruling will force 'a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse.' The Supreme Court on Friday made a major ruling barring Donald Trump's (pictured) attempt to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under an 18th-century wartime law The justices acted on an emergency appeal from lawyers for Venezuelan men who have been accused of being gang members, a designation that the administration says makes them eligible for rapid removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 'The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public,' he added.
20% : At least three federal judges have said Trump was improperly using the AEA to speed deportations of people the administration says are Venezuelan gang members.
15% : Trump then thanked Justices Alito and Thomas 'for attempting to protect our Country' before declaring it 'a bad and dangerous day for America!' The high court action is the latest in a string of judicial setbacks for the Trump administration's effort to speed deportations of people in the country illegally.
