Trump Has Had Enough
And Karoline Leavitt may have fired a warning shot at SCOTUS | ADDENDUM (17-May-2025) - Deportations by President & SCOTUS Involvement
Usually, we don’t bother with ifs, ands, and maybes - however, we are way past any safe spaces for being cautious.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Venezuelan migrants who sought to halt their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act [ archive ], saying that immigrants need additional time to contest deportation orders.
The ruling was 7-2, keeping President Trump from deporting high-risk illegal immigrants and terrorists, and it has drawn a line in the proverbial sand.
Only Alito and Thomas voted against it.
Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Jackson voted in favor of the high-risk immigrants and terrorists.
What SCOTUS is telling We the People is that
we can be invaded by 15 million plus terrorists and gangs without any vetting process whatsoever via our southern border, BUT when deported
they must be given time to challenge their deportation
Imagine your house is ransacked…
some of your family members are injured
some are raped
some killed
the thugs then leave with some of your household treasures and valuables
the cops find them
but the judge says now the thugs can demand a refund of the very things they stole from you, AND
they can be awarded a jury of illegal immigrant peers for a trial (trial by our peers)...
SCOTUS
DID
THE
SAME
DAMN
THING
An explanation of the warning shot SCOTUS received is in this video, and I seriously doubt the 7 will even be paying attention to it…

Deportations by President & SCOTUS Involvement
ADDED 17-May-2025
Eisenhower (1953-1961): 1,074,277 returns and 30,264 removals in fiscal year 1954 | SCOTUS - no involvement found in records, though there were court cases in various jurisdictions. None of the cases reached SCOTUS
Bush (2001-2008): About 2 million deportations | SCOTUS - The Supreme Court was involved in cases related to deportations during the George W. Bush administration, particularly in the context of the "war on terror."
One notable case was the lawsuit brought by Javaid Iqbal against former Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller, alleging mistreatment of Muslim immigrants detained after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ashcroft and Mueller, refusing to allow them to be subject to pretrial depositions in the ongoing civil lawsuit, stating that the complaint did not show or even intimate that top officials purposely housed detainees due to their race, religion, or national origin.
Additionally, the Bush administration's policies led to the detention and deportation of many immigrants, including those who were not charged with terrorism but were detained based on their religion or ethnicity.
For instance, the Bush administration rounded up roughly 1,200 mostly Arab and Muslim immigrants, many of whom were charged and deported for minor immigration infractions.
Obama (2009-2016): About 3.2 million deportations | SCOTUS - Specific rulings on the Obama administration's deportation policies were not issued; its rulings on related immigration issues influenced the landscape in which those policies were implemented and enforced
Trump (2017-2021): 1.5 million deportations | SCOTUS - Specific rulings on the Obama administration's deportation policies were not issued; its rulings on related immigration issues influenced the landscape in which those policies were implemented and enforced
Biden (2021-2024): Approximately 1.5 million deportations, including 1.4 million as of September 2024 | SCOTUS - The Supreme Court had been involved in several cases related to deportations during the Biden administration.
In July 2022, the Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration from implementing a policy that prioritized deportation of people in the U.S. illegally who pose the greatest public safety risk.
The court's order left the policy frozen nationwide for now, with a vote of 5-4, where conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent.
In February 2023, the Biden administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to proceed with guidelines limiting who can be arrested and deported, but these guidelines faced legal challenges brought by Texas and Louisiana, which blocked their enforcement nationally.
