President Trump wants the Supreme Court to let him use the Alien Enemies Act.
This will allow for fast-track deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members.
Lower courts blocked the move.
But it’s not their place to block it.
The administration says national security decisions belong to the president.
More than 200 Venezuelan men have already been sent to a prison in El Salvador.
The White House argues delays could put Americans at risk.
Which is an understatement!

NPR reports:
President Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to lift a lower court’s order and allow it to use the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly remove alleged members of a Venezuelan gang.
Trump invoked the rarely used wartime power earlier this month when it sent more than 200 Venezuelan men to a maximum security prison in El Salvador. But U.S. District Judge James Boasberg temporarily blocked the use of the Alien Enemies Act. And a three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this week in a 2-1 ruling agreed to keep Boasberg’s order in place.
“This case presents fundamental questions about who decides how to conduct sensitive national-security-related operations in this country—the President, through Article II, or the Judiciary,” Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris wrote in the appeal to the Supreme Court. “The Constitution supplies a clear answer: the President. The republic cannot afford a different choice.”
ADVERTISEMENTShe added that Boasberg’s orders “have rebuffed the President’s judgments as to how to protect the Nation against foreign terrorist organizations and risk debilitating effects for delicate foreign negotiations.”
The American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration over its use of the Alien Enemies Act. They said the administration removed people without due process.
Chad Mizelle, Chief of Staff at the Department of Justice, wrote on X:

Not sure why the Venezuelan gang need to be deported. I was told they were the best of the best.
And their murders were mostly peaceful.

Under Biden’s America, you need 5 locks on your door and metal bar.
Totally normal according to liberals, apparently.
