"We called on the Supreme Court to reign in these activist judges, like Judge Boasberg, who was completely out of line in trying to say that the president didn't have the executive authority to deport foreign terrorists off of our soil." President Trump will "continue to use the Alien Enemies Act to remove foreign terrorists and Tren de Aragua members, vicious gang members, from our communities, and because of this ruling, the United States of America will be a much safer place." -White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt

In a 5-4 decision, the court agreed with Trump's appeal to vacate last month's orders from the federal court that halted the administration from removing noncitizens. Essentially, Trump can continue to use the 18th-century wartime law, but with a few guidelines—the administration must give the deportees notice of reasonable deportation and "in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs." That venue would be in Texas, where these people are currently detained, not in Washington, DC.

The three liberal Justices—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson—dissented in full, but does anyone want to guess who joined them? It was none other than Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who issued a partial dissent.

Attorney General Pam Bondi called it a "landmark victory for the rule of law," adding that "an activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump's authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on Fox News on Monday night after the decision was announced and called it a "massive victory for law and order and for our constitutional republic and the sovereignty of the United States of America."...
