Raw Story - Trump rampages after 'bad and dangerous day'

May 16, 2025 6:21PM ET
After President Donald Trump suffered a major loss at the Supreme Court, he took to his Truth Social platform to blast the justices over the decision. But he wasn't satisfied with a single post.
Later on Friday, the president followed up with a far lengthier post venting his grievances.
"The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do," Trump continued. "Sleepy Joe Biden allowed MILLIONS of Criminal Aliens to come into our Country without any 'PROCESS' but, in order to get them out of our Country, we have to go through a long and extended PROCESS. In any event, thank you to Justice Alito and Justice Thomas for attempting to protect our Country. This is a bad and dangerous day for America!"
The case in question concerns whether the Trump administration has the right to conduct expedited mass deportations of people accused of foreign gang affiliation under a 1798 law called the Alien Enemies Act.

"The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse," Trump wrote. "The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public. It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go."

President Donald Trump went off on the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday after it prevented him from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportations of Venezuelans being detained in northern Texas.
In a 7-2 ruling, the court temporarily blocked the deportations and sent the matter back to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to determine the process by which the detainees are entitled to challenge their deportations. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, insisting that the court lacks the jurisdiction to intervene.
Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act in March in order to deport more than 230 men to El Salvador, where they are being incarcerated without due process. The president insists that all of the detainees are criminals and that their presence in the U.S. constitutes an invasion, thus making the 1798 law applicable. The statute has been invoked just three times: the War of 1812 and in both world wars.
Not long after the courts decision, Trump lashed out in two posts.
THE SUPREME COURT WONT ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY! he exclaimed

Trump doesn't want any competition.

If
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, insisting that the court lacks the jurisdiction to intervene.
Then maybe they should fuck right off and give up their day job. Unfortunately I would suspect the federalist group would supply a couple more young, fully unqualified candidates that the republican senate would pass right through to replace them...

The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally
Nope. The Supreme Court ruling impacts only that those you have alleged to be "members of Tren de Aragua (TdA)" who are "similarly situated detainees in the Northern District of Texas, . . . currently being held in U. S. detention facilities." Not to drug dealers, not to murderers, not to mentally insane. This ruling only applies to those alleged to be members of a specific gang you have declared to be a designated foreign terrorist group.
are not allowed to be forced out
Nope. You are free to "remove the named plaintiffs or putative class members under other lawful authorities."
without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse,"
Again, nope.
Due process is not synonymous with a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process (sic). It is a sliding scale proposition. It requires notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to deprivation of life, liberty, or property. Sometimes significant advance notice is required - other times virtually none. Sometimes the opportunity to be heard is in a trial-like process; other times it can be an opportunity to present written arguments at any time prior to the final disposition. Sometimes it includes a right to appeal - sometimes not. It all depends on how important the right or property interest is. For example - asset forfeiture simply requires notice - often 60 days after the asset is seized but before the asset is finally disposed of to a third party. Due process before depriving someone of liberty requires far more - advance notice of the charges, a trial, and a right to appeal the outcome of the trial.
The Supreme Court did not order a "long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process." It determined ONLY that notice on April 18, for a removal on April 19 did not qualify as "notice that is reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to apprise interested parties and that afford[s] a reasonable time . . . to make [an] appearance." It remanded the matter to the circuit court for that initial determination, with the expectation that once they evaluate the matter it will return for final evaluation by the Supreme Court.
So tired of all the hyperbole.
I am glad to see the Supreme Court (or at least most of the justices) almost blatantly calling out the Trump administration for lying. They justified their jurisdiction, in part, on the administration's insistence that it lost all jurisdiction after immigrants left our country (Abrego Garcia) - and on its assertion that the administration assured it would not deport individuals the next day - while simultaneously preparing to depart them the next day. The bulk of the dissent (as to jurisdiction) was based on taking the assertions of the administration to the lower court at face value - there really was no danger because they promised . . .
