The Trump administration called on the Supreme Court on Tuesday to overturn a federal judge’s order blocking the deportations of illegal immigrants to countries in which they are not citizens.
U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ruled last week against deportations to South Sudan, a decision that led to the filing by U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer.
“All of this is particularly unjustifiable because many class members are aliens who have never been admitted into the United States,” Sauer wrote in the court filing.
“Thus, they do not have due-process rights to any additional removal procedures beyond the ones the political branches have provided,” he added.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the “double standards” used against his administration to stop deportation efforts, contrasting the pushback with the millions of illegal immigrants allowed into the U.S. under former President Joe Biden.
“How can Biden let Millions of Criminals into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted, with no Legal authority to do so, yet I, in order to make up for this assault to our Nation, am expected to go through a lengthy Legal process, separately, for each and every Criminal Alien,” Trump asked in a post last month to Truth Social.
“As usual, TWO DIFFERENT STANDARDS, only leading to the Complete and Total Destruction of the U.S.A. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he continued.
The message followed an earlier post on Monday in which the president argued he is doing “what I was elected to do.”
“I’m doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don’t seem to want me to do that. My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job, however, they are being stymied at every turn by even the U.S. Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn’t want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela, or any other Country, for that matter — People that came here illegally!” Trump argued.
“The Courts are intimidated by the Radical Left who are, ‘playing the Ref.’ Great Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito correctly wants to dissolve the pause on deportations. He is right on this! If we don’t get these criminals out of our Country, we are not going to have a Country any longer,” the president continued.
“We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years. We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of Illegals we are sending out of the Country. Such a thing is not possible to do. What a ridiculous situation we are in. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump concluded.
