U.S Mass Deportation: Donald Trump's BIG WIN at U.S Supreme Court | What is Alien Enemies Act? [Video]

U.S Mass Deportation: Donald Trump's BIG WIN at U.S Supreme Court | What is Alien Enemies Act?

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of former President Trump, allowing him to invoke a 1978 law to speed up deportations of alleged gang members, citing national security. The court overturned a district judge’s earlier block, greenlighting Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a fierce dissent, calling the decision a threat to the rule of law. Critics warn the policy opens the door to wrongful removals, citing the recent mistaken deportation of Abrego Garcia. Trump, backed by figures like Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem, claims the flow of Venezuelan gang members amounts to an invasion. Bernie Sanders and other lawmakers have slammed the ruling, calling it unconstitutional and dangerous. Migrants now face limited rights to appeal, as legal experts warn of a looming battle over executive power and due process. #SupremeCourt #Trump #ImmigrationPolicy #Deportation #RuleOfLaw #SoniaSotomayor #AlienEnemiesAct #Venezuela #GangViolence #MigrantRights #BernieSanders #PamBondi #KristiNoem #TruthSocial #USPolitics #SCOTUS #MassDeportation #LegalNews #Alienenemiesact #AbrejoGarcia Also Read SC Backs TN CM Stalin, Slams Governor RN Ravi’s 'Illegal' And 'Arbitrary' Move On Withholding Bills :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/sc-backs-tn-cm-stalin-slams-governor-rn-ravis-illegal-and-arbitrary-move-on-withholding-bills-4117839.html?ref=DMDesc China, US On Collision Course As Trade Spat Fuels Geopolitical Rift; Beijing Vows To ‘Fight To The End’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-us-on-collision-course-as-trade-spat-fuels-geopolitical-rift-beijing-vows-to-fight-to-the-e-4117775.html?ref=DMDesc Viral Posts Rename Black Monday To ‘Orange Monday’ Amid Global Market Jitters :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/viral-posts-rename-black-monday-to-orange-monday-amid-global-market-jitters-4116865.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.344~ED.103~
