Mon May 19 17:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Supreme Court Ruling on Migrant Expulsions Sparks Outrage from Trump

**Washington D.C.** – Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at the Supreme Court after a 7-2 ruling blocked his administration’s attempts to expedite the deportation of migrants using an 18th-century law. Trump, expressing his frustration on Truth Social, accused the court of hindering his ability to fulfill campaign promises to expel a record number of undocumented immigrants.

The ruling centers on the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to summarily deport migrants, some of whom the Trump administration has labeled as members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a group designated as a global terrorist organization by the U.S. The court found that the government was not providing adequate notice or due process to migrants facing deportation, citing instances where individuals were given only 24 hours’ notice without sufficient information on how to challenge their expulsion.

“The Supreme Court isn’t allowing me to do what I was elected to do,” Trump wrote, claiming the decision will allow “the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members” to remain in the country, potentially committing further crimes while entangled in lengthy legal proceedings.

While the court acknowledged the government’s national security interests, it deemed the lack of due process a violation of constitutional rights. The case has been remanded to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to determine the legality of using the Alien Enemies Act and establish clearer guidelines for migrants to challenge their deportations.

The Supreme Court emphasized that its ruling only pertains to the adequacy of notification, granting a temporary injunction. It also highlighted concerns about the administration’s inability to guarantee the return of individuals erroneously deported, as exemplified by the case of a Salvadoran man wrongly sent to El Salvador.

Trump thanked conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for their dissenting opinions. He has consistently blamed undocumented immigrants for crime, despite data showing no clear link between immigration status and criminality. He has recently increased pressure on border security with measures that include deploying troops to the Mexican border and imposing tariffs.
