“THE SUPREME COURT WON’T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!” he fumed.
In a follow-up post, he blasted the decision as a threat to national security:
“The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do,” Trump wrote, claiming the ruling meant “the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane” couldn’t be removed without a drawn-out legal battle.
He warned the decision would trigger “a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person” — raising concerns about hospitalization costs, in-prison healthcare management, and the burden on public insurance programs for detainees with untreated psychological conditions.
ACLU Hails Ruling as a Human Rights Stand
In contrast, the ACLU called the court’s move a necessary defense of due process and human rights.
“The court’s decision to stay removals is a powerful rebuke to the government’s attempt to hurry people away to a Gulag-type prison in El Salvador,” said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project.
