Trump Judge Slams Supreme Court 'Disrespect' After Ruling
- The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 to prevent the Trump administration from deporting migrants from Venezuela using the Alien Enemies Act, vacating a Fifth Circuit stay and remanding the case for further consideration.
- The decision arose from concerns that the migrants were deported without due process or adequate notice, prompting emergency legal challenges challenging the administration's expedited removals.
- Judge James Ho, a Trump appointee on the Fifth Circuit, criticized the Supreme Court for requiring courts to be available 24 hours for emergency motions and expressed disappointment in a concurring opinion.
- The Court found the district court's 14-hour delay in ruling effectively denied an injunction to migrants facing imminent removal and ruled that notice given roughly 24 hours before deportation did not meet due process requirements.
- The ruling halted ongoing deportations under the wartime statute, emphasized judicial scrutiny over expedited removals, and directed lower courts to reassess due process protections for affected migrants.
