Late Friday night, the U.S. Supreme Court threw up yet another legal roadblock in President Trump’s mission to restore order at the southern border—this time by temporarily halting his administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal Venezuelan nationals. The decision comes after weeks of escalating legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union (because of course it does), and now the Left is celebrating a technical delay like they just won the Super Bowl.
Here’s the deal: President Trump’s administration is invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to swiftly deport certain nationals from countries deemed hostile or dangerous during wartime or invasion. And in the case of Venezuela, he’s got a strong argument. Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, is flooding into American cities and terrorizing communities. It’s not immigration—it’s infiltration. Call it what it is: an invasion.
But naturally, the ACLU stepped in and argued that the migrants—many being held in Texas’s Bluebonnet Detention Center—deserve their day in court. The Supreme Court responded with a brief late-night order that stops any removals from happening “until further order of this Court.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, because they actually read the Constitution, understand national security, and aren’t in the business of turning America into the world’s flophouse.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t some final, sweeping ruling. It’s a temporary hold while the court figures out how to handle yet another Left-wing legal tantrum. But the bigger issue here is that Trump is being hamstrung at every turn while trying to do the one thing voters literally elected him to do: secure the border.
The Alien Enemies Act has only been used three times in U.S. history—each time during war. President Trump argues that this is no different. Venezuelan criminal elements are not just sneaking across the border—they’re organizing, trafficking, smuggling, and putting American lives at risk. But the court’s majority wants to pretend it’s 1995 and we’re debating how many worker visas we can hand out.
Meanwhile, the ACLU warns that deported Venezuelans could end up in Salvadoran mega-prisons. You know what? That’s exactly the kind of place international gang members should be. Sorry if that sounds harsh—but American moms shouldn’t have to bury their children so some activist judge can feel morally superior.
The Left wants to legislate from the bench. Trump wants to protect the country. This fight is far from over.
