GOP Senator Breaks Down Latest SCOTUS Ruling, Predicts Trump Will Ultimately Win

By Cullen McCue Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), who served as attorney general of Missouri before being elected to the Senate, provided a thorough rebuke in an X thread of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision to temporarily halt the Trump Administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which gives the federal government expanded powers to detain and deport illegal aliens suspected of belonging to foreign terrorist or criminal organizations.
“The Supreme Court bypassed normal appellate procedure to halt President Trump’s deportation of more illegal aliens,” Schmitt wrote. “There a lot of misinformation floating around about judicial rulings, the Alien Enemies Act, and immigration law.”
The senator first pointed to an earlier decision handed down by the high court on April 7, which overturned U.S. District Judge Jeb Boasberg’s temporary halt on the order and found the Obama-appointee had no jurisdiction over the deportation cases brought before him in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU.
In a 5-4 ruling, Supreme Court justices ruled that the Venezuelan deportees who filed the suit could only seek relief where they were confined, in this case Texas, rather than forum shopping for a friendly court in the nation’s capital.
