Fuelled by the the American Civil Liberties Union’s lawsuit, the US Supreme Court dropped a bombshell 7-2 ruling in the early hours of Saturday, temporarily blocking President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts targetting alleged Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua’s members. The Far-right-leaning MAGA has since sunk into a full-on meltdown as the Trump administration disagrees with the delay put in place after the US president invoked the controversial wartime 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

The US Supreme Court has ironically flipped the Republican leader’s script as he sought to expedite the process of deporting the Venezuelan immigrants from the Bluebonnet Detention Centre in Texas without due process. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented on the deportation ruling. And now, more MAGA politicians have joined them to protest the pause on the accused Venezuelan gang members’ deportation.

Trump administration releases alleged Venezuelan gang members’ rap sheets

After the ACLU argued that Trump’s use of the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act clashed with the ruling that deportation efforts could only proceed if given due process, the Trump administration released the migrants’ rap sheets and pictures. Speaking to Fox News, officials shared that these individuals even have pending criminal charges and convictions.

In possibly one of the most shocking reveals, the Trump admin presented an image that allegedly show Henry Jose Romero-Gonzalez posing with firearms and flaunting a massive cash stash. He is believed to have pending criminal charges for three counts of assault, crimes against a person and unlawful possession of a weapon, as per the Daily Mail.

Ronny Javier Rodriguez-Tovar reportedly has one of the longest rap sheets of the alleged Venezuelan gang members. He appears to have been convicted on multiple charges, including hit-and-run, battery, possession of stolen property, driving under the influence and shoplifting. He also has pending charges for resisting an officer, simple assault, battery and driving under the influence. They are only two of the many individuals tied to the case who have been doxxed since the SCOTUS ruling.

MAGA’s meltdown documented after SC blocked deportations

Trump-appointed officials also took to X to unleash their diatribes amid the latest legal developments in connection with deportation efforts.

Sharing her views on the matter, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X, “President Trump promised the American people he would use all lawful measures to remove the threat of terrorist illegal aliens, like members of TdA, from our homeland.

“We are confident we will ultimately prevail against the onslaught of meritless litigation brought by radical activists who care more about the rights of these terrorist aliens than those of the American people.”

“Generations of lawyers and judges, on both sides of the aisle, have been infected with a parasitical ideology that denies reason and common sense, causing irreparable damage to our judicial system,”  Department of Homeland Security liaison Paul Ingrassia tweeted.

Taking a swing at the SC, he added in his lengthy rant, “This is why a putatively “conservative” Supreme Court so often fails to uphold the most basic principles of constitutional governance. Nations require borders in order to preserve national sovereignty, define citizenship, and allocate rights.”

“The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination, rather than work alongside the duly elected president to help reestablish the RULE OF LAW,” he went on.

Similarly, Solicitor General D John Sauer urged the justices to “dissolve” the decision blocking deportations. In his 17-page filing, he said that the justices had “improperly skipped over the lower courts.” He also argued that the ACLU had frantically approached an appeals court and the Supreme Court without lower courts’ consideration.

“Nonetheless, without waiting for the government to file its opposition brief and after giving the district court just 42 minutes to rule, applicants immediately sought emergency relief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and then in this court,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Stephen Miller tweeted on X, “We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation. But Americans whose communities have been stolen from them are left without recourse. We are rebalancing the scales.”

Pushing a clip of the Homeland Security official’s NewsMax interview, Rep Mary Miller backed him up, saying, “The unprecedented amount of illegal aliens let into our country by Democrats has ravished our communities, our education system, and our way of life. Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage caused by mass illegal migration?”

Right-wing Judicial Watch group President Tom Fitton also unloaded his thoughts on the “Biden invasion.” He wrote, “‘The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.’–US Constitution. Should @RealDonaldTrump suspend the writ in order to reverse the Biden invasion?”

According to the Connecticut Judicial Branch, habeus corpus, or ‘the Great Writ,’ ” is most often associated with an action asserting ineffective assistance of counsel by petitioners challenging the legality of their conviction, but there are several other uses.” It is a “remedy for violations of constitutional rights, such as ineffective assistance of counsel.”

These developments surfaced in the same week Reuters reported that thousands of protestors rallied against Donald Trump’s policies on deportations, government layoffs, and the Gaza, Ukraine crises. Demonstrators carrying banners that read “Due process,” “Workers should have the power,” “No kingship,” and “Stop arming Israel expressed their opposition outside the White House on Saturday.
