The Supreme Court has been a significant obstacle for the Trump administration in its efforts to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. The court has blocked several attempts by the administration to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite deportations. The Act, which allows for the removal of foreign nationals deemed enemies during wartime, has been challenged by lawyers for the Venezuelan men, who claim they are being denied adequate notice and due process. The court has imposed a halt on deportations from a Texas detention facility and has rejected the administration's request to lift the temporary block.

    3. THE SUPREME COURT WON'T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!
