Trump Criticizes U.S. Judges After Supreme Court Blocks Deportation Of Venezuelan Migrants

In a controversial Easter message, former U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of the American judicial system, labeling judges as “weak and ineffective” after the Supreme Court blocked his administration’s attempt to deport Venezuelan migrants without court hearings.

The Supreme Court issued a temporary emergency ruling on Saturday that restricts the use of an obscure immigration law Trump aimed to invoke to fast-track deportations. The decision immediately paused the removal of several Venezuelan migrants held in Texas, many of whom have been accused of gang affiliations.

In response, Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday, using the holiday to unleash a scathing attack on U.S. law enforcement and the judiciary.

“Happy Easter also to the WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Judges and Law Enforcement Officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our Nation to continue,” Trump wrote. “An attack so violent that it will never be forgotten!”

One of the dissenting voices, Justice Samuel Alito, criticized the court’s majority, labeling the decision as “legally questionable” and arguing that the ruling was made without considering arguments from both sides.

“Literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief… without hearing from the opposing party,” Alito stated in his dissenting opinion.

The controversial ruling has raised concerns among legal experts and political leaders. Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, warned that the escalating tension could push the country into a constitutional crisis.

“We’re getting closer and closer to a constitutional crisis,” Klobuchar told CNN. “Donald Trump is trying to pull us down into the sewer of a crisis.”
