The White House has been particularly perplexed by a recent ruling from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who placed a 14-day hold on the president’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Senior White House advisor Stephen Miller has noted that the president’s powers concerning the act have already been deemed “non-justiciable” by the high court, meaning that such powers are not subject to judicial review from lower courts.
Still, Boasberg has claimed that Trump has no right to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, which would give the administration broad powers to detain and deport violent illegal aliens with ties to foreign criminal and terrorist organizations. The Obama-appointed judge has even claimed that he has the right to order flights carrying violent deportees — including MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members — to turn around mid-flight.
Trump pointed to the rulings from Boasberg and other federal judges — one of which was made by a self-admitted left-wing activist — in calling for immediate relief from the Supreme Court.
“It is then the obligation of Law abiding Agencies of Government to have these ‘Orders’ overturned. The danger is unparalleled! These Judges want to assume the Powers of the Presidency, without having to attain 80 Million Votes. They want all of the advantages with none of the risks,” the president continued.
“Again, a President has to be allowed to act quickly and decisively about such matters as returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE. It is our goal to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and such a high aspiration can never be done if Radical and Highly Partisan Judges are allowed to stand in the way of JUSTICE. STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”
Trump then directly called on Chief Justice John Roberts to take action. “If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!”
