Trump Responds with Fury on Truth Social
Unsurprisingly, Trump lashed out in a pair of explosive Truth Social posts following the ruling:
“THE SUPREME COURT WON’T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!” he wrote, blaming the court for obstructing his immigration control authority.
In a follow-up, he warned the decision would allow “murderers, drug dealers, gang members.
And even those who are mentally insane” to remain in the U.S., and predicted a “long, protracted, and expensive legal process” for each individual.
“The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do,” he said, forecasting legal chaos.
ACLU Applauds Ruling as Victory for Human Rights
In contrast, the ACLU praised the decision as a critical defense of constitutional protections and refugee 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.
“The use of a wartime authority during peacetime, without even affording due process, raises issues of profound importance.”
