On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld its decision to block President Donald Trump‘s efforts to deport Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law traditionally reserved for wartime. Reacting to which, the President took to X and shared, “The Supreme Court is being played by the radical left losers, who have no support. The public hates them, and their only hope is the intimidation of the Court itself. We can’t let that happen to our country!”
A part of his second time in office, Trump’s deportations are part of the Republican president’s immigration crackdown. However, the Supreme Court has criticised the administration for attempting to carry out the removals without providing sufficient legal due process. Additionally, slamming the US Supreme Court for ruling against him, he called it a “bad and dangerous day” for ruling against him.
THE SUPREME COURT IS BEING PLAYED BY THE RADICAL LEFT LOSERS, WHO HAVE NO SUPPORT, THE PUBLIC HATES THEM, AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IS THE INTIMIDATION OF THE COURT, ITSELF. WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR COUNTRY!

In another post on Truth Social, Trump came out and expressed what seemed like a repercussion of this anti-deportation ruling. He wrote, “The result of this decision will let more criminals pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public. It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go. The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do.”
He went on to criticise former President Biden as he said, “Sleepy Joe Biden allowed millions of Criminal Aliens to come into our Country without any “process” but, in order to get them out of our Country, we have to go through a long and extended PROCESS. In any event, thank you to Justice Alito and Justice Thomas for attempting to protect our Country. This is a bad and dangerous day for America!”
The world saw a series of strict and extreme deportation stories when Donald Trump returned to the White House the second time in January 2025. Being called “illegal aliens”, videos of chained and shackled immigrants were shared across social media.
Amid his trip to the Middle East, which could potentially reshape global geopolitics, the interplay of his business and political intentions has been duly noted. While Qatar trades with Boeing on one hand, Trump’s deportation plans have been hurriedly rejected.
