JUST IN: The Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to enforce the Alien Enemies Act for rapid deportations for now, handing the White House a significant victory.
is this important for reasons beyond being a “political victory,” can you talk about that. also, is your headline writer familiar with the phrase “banality of evil”
Although saying "The court stressed that people deported going forward should receive notice they are subject to the act and an opportunity to have their removal reviewed", not denying gov's absurd assertion of application of AEA. Are they now in the war with quasi gang country invading U.S.?
looks like SCOTUS gave Boasberg a favor in its substance while appeasing Trump for his use of AEA. but same as the immunity decision, SCOTUS will pay a huge price for the appeasement in not so distant future though.
stupidity is the stupid does. and never learns.
There goes any common sense or rule of law.
FUCK IGNORANT REPUBLICANS. FUCK TRUMPISM. FUCK TRUMP.
Damn. How much did this cost in vacations, off shore accounts, airplane rides and campaign contributions? -asking for a friend
Basically, anyone with tattoos, of any ethnic group, can be swooped up, and shipped off smh
“Alien Enemies Act for now, handing the White House a significant victory that will let immigration officials rely on a sweeping wartime authority to rapidly deport alleged gang members.” The Coup Court gives the felon Wartime Authority when there is no war to be considered. Authoritarianism.
So what happens if the system is so corrupted by one man’s influence that sensible policy has no chance of getting passed? There has to be some sort of check on this kind of madness.
Anything in the order addressing the issue in filing for habeas corpus when you are not in US detention and are denied a lawyer? There is no means by which to do so. From here on out, if the us government renditions someone it is perfectly ok so long as they do it quickly and "accidently" enough?
Well, we're at war then. With who?
It wasn’t a complete win for him, since he relied on the Alien Enemies Act specifically to bypass due process and avoid judicial oversight.
1930/40’s Nazi Germany or The New USSR. Take your pick.
The supreme court, bought and paid for by musk and trump
This is not America, they are all traitors
Yes, And this is to be expected under a dictatorship- we are no longer living in a democracy. Wake up, before we reach the point of no return. No one is safe. The rule of law is dying. Trump and the republicans support an authoritarian regime. Do not despair- organize and resist!
Maybe… time past resistance now…. Time for wise and fierce opposition
Have you read the book, Blueprint for Revolution, yet?
Srdja Popovic has shown us that protesters can draw a line, so that the dictator is isolated on one side, and everyone else is on the other side. Right now, you can download a free copy of one of his books from the Cornell University Press website: www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...
Just ordered . Thanks for the recommendation. Appreciated🙏🥰 Also ordered the 4 immeasurables .
Have you read, On Tyranny?
20 lessons ?
20 lessons?
I don’t understand
DvBee, I just posted Jon Lithgow reading the 20 lessons on Tyranny. 🌟
Thanks for sharing! I watched it, and I think it’s so important for all of us to understand the signs and know what to do when they come. By the way, did you catch the NYT article about the three professors leaving the USA? I posted it on my page
I agree. Knowledge and understanding reduces paralysis and fear.
Yes, I poured over article. Sad loss for America - but totally understandable. Choices and opportunities arise. May they return, help heal and rebuild America apres revolution. They prompted an exploration of Agnotology, study of ignorance. New to me. Fascinating.
20 lessons on tyranny, written by Timothy Snyder (recently left Yale, moved to Toronto )and read by John Lithgow (beloved American actor) and posted several times recently on Bluesky and YT . Very moving. Timely. Rousing.
Yes - thank you
So…congress needs to repeal the Alien Enemies Act, then.
Marshal law is next.
JUST another step down the road to the coronation of King tRump! We are close now….
Don’t worry, Trump said they’re all violent criminals so it must be true. Just like he said the 2020 election was stolen. Oh wait.
CNN is falling into its past failings using headlines to foster partial truths. Despite Trump's screaming victory, the Justices did install the right for the accused to be heard in front of the Judge before deportation. Shame on you CNN....
I think "for now" is going to be a very long time.
We all know what the proper response to a police stop now, don’t we? Because you aren’t getting a trial. They’re no longer cops. They’re kidnappers.
It seems a couple of the court’s conservatives still retain some semblance of a soul, but are afraid of a frontal assault on the president’s position. They justifiable fear that he might ignore their ruling which would destroy their credibility and authority. But caving will have the same effect.
Nazi state.
Well, the fascism is officially here folks.
This is a supremely bad decision by the kangaroo court. You’ve just added another check of approval to autocracy. All of us are now prey for Trumpty’s thugs. No one is safe.
A free license for the Trump administration to deport anyone & everyone that they don’t like. No due process, just lawlessness deportations.
If I was an immigrant, even in the US legally, I would leave. The Trump administration is now going to weaponize the Alien Enemies Act, only used 3 times before, to deport as many immigrants as possible! The Supreme Court, as expected, just gave Trump the green light for no rules apply deportations
Fuckfuckfuck.
Unbelievable 🤦🏻♀️
Does this mean the US only has illegal immigrant gang members from that country? 😖
“The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs,”
the justices wrote, adding: “The detainees subject to removal orders under the AEA are entitled to notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal.”
I suppose when you buy the court, they will pay you back…
Well, having a SCOTUS was nice while it existed.
👎
Your buffoonery is also to blame for this shredding of the constitution.
Good for them.
The absolutely Republican members of the Supreme Court (I have a really hard time calling them justices) need to be publicly asked, as was Senator Joseph Mccarthy, "have you no sense of decency"!
@cnn.com Jesus Christ, these are fucking people. Show some fucking journalistic integrity and just maybe use a headline that reflects the humanity of the situation instead of who wins politically. Fucking assholes.
The cruelty of this administration is only surpassed by their incompetence. He can't just go around like a spoiled toddler tyrant upending everything in sight. I'm sickened by this
Of course they did. A war time act being used when we’re not at war. The new SCOTUS understanding.
Actual Headline: SCOTUS Rules Citizens Have No Rights
It isn’t the Supreme , it’s the trump court .
All morning I have been watching ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, BBC and MSNBC In an hour period NOT A SINGLE MENTION OF 5.2 MILLION PEOPLE PROTESTING AGAINST THE ORANGUTAN. These folks are not journalist. They are liars and enablers.
This is bad.
So much democracy...
Absolutely fucking disgusting.
👎👎👎
Luigi the supreme court
What a disgrace.
Land of the free and home of the brave...no more
The so called Supreme Court sucks . No justice for America . Fuck them .
Actually the order allows the deportee to challenge the removal in court… not sure if “rapid” is the right phrasing here.
Courts are now bought. Every Dem must vote. Every republican feeling SCAMMED must vote. #democracy = accountability
bsky.app/profile/loud...
Judiciary has proven their trumps gestapo. It's hard not to give up right now. Yeah the protests over the weekend gave optimism and crawfords win but the 2026 elections are so far away. We're not even 3 months in and trump can do whatever he wants no guard rails.
This will not end well. It pretty much puts a rubber stamp on fascism.
Unfortunately, no, our Supreme Court is not infallible! This is simply wrong!
Not a horse race. What are the stakes?
Absolutely not surprising! We live in the bizzaro world where the evil impulses of the orange narcissist are applauded and approved of by the highest court in the land.
This is terrorism.
Jfc they need to be disbarred.
So they can rush to make this decision but spent months “thinking” about the immunity case. They purposely stalled to protect the orange felon from prison and purposely rushed for him to inflict harm on other. Disgusting.
Disgusting traitors
bsky.app/profile/marc...
Make no mistake, it won’t end with immigrants. The door has just been opened for them to deport whomever with zero repercussions. They will eventually go after all black and brown people and anyone else they deem a threat or enemy. Who’s going to stop them?
US Supreme Court stacked with Trump appointees
I am sickened. Truly sickened.
Disgusting! Roberts appreciates Trump who “ won’t forget”.
yeah I knew better to hope that the courts would continue to hold up when they got to his bought and paid for SCOTUS.
Shame on you! Horrible!!
Does that mean the next Dem president can send Trump to the same prison without due process?
No, but they can do it to Elon because he is foreign-born.
There will never be another President - tRump will be the last president and the first monarch. Due process is NOW a thing of American history.
This means there is no longer a USA.
What next Dem president? They have no intention of allowing real elections.
That I’d like to see 😁👍🏼
I sure hope so.
"Not like that"
You seem to believe that there will be a democratic presidential election in four years, which is absolutely not guaranteed. Trump was perfectly clear when he said that once elected, there will never be the need to vote ever again. American democracy is effectively dead.
It’s only a matter of time before they run afoul of him and I want that same energy from them when they or their friends/family are on those planes.
The question now is was that a trial balloon? If SCOTUS is this craven, will they turn a blind eye when he starts to build internment camps? Clearly nothing is off the table anymore. He might as well make some money on it since he wants everything manufactured in the United States after all.
The Supreme Court rips up the Constitution and due process.
Rip up the constitution
Really perverse to call it a “victory”
🍊🍕💩 gives me so many more reasons to despise him every day! Just evil!
GOP SCOTUS.
😞
This is horrible. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Anyone considering heading to the US right now is taking a huge risk.
That's crazy.
Will it be a significant victory when they destroy the free press soon or are you going to start takin this shit seriously?
#Garcia wasn't/isn't a Venezuelan gang member. Why is he fighting so hard to keep him imprisoned? How many of those that have been deported are still alive? Something to think about...Demand answers. Now.
Bastards
Evil advances insidiously, step by step! As does Fascism aka Evil!
Absolutely vile
And John Roberts wonders why we have no confidence in the court. He just killed democracy without so much as a hearing.
I am US Citizen and US Disable Veteran born in USA from US Citizen Parents born in USA, Ask Scotus, GOP, Trump & his administration, what happen by "Accident" if I get arrested because I look Latino, speak Spanish & have Tattoos & they send me to El Salvador without check my documents & my rights?
Good news.
I don’t see how enacting the Alien Enemies Act makes sense in this case
The people who did not go through the proper legal channels to enter the US have broken federal law by invading the US. By entering illegally and invading the US, they have become an alien enemy. It's really simple - Don't break the law.
I assume you’re not talking about those who entered via the asylum process?
I think you may be referring to the two gang members who were granted asylum but then had asylum revoked. Is that correct?
Does this apply to all asylum seekers please answer the question
If an asylum seeker is granted asylum, then they could not be a criminal or gang member; otherwise, they would not be granted asylum. If grated asylum, they would live under a set of rules and conditions. If they lied during their hearing, asylum would be revoked.
So you disavow asylum seekers being deported?
If immigrants lie to authorities to receive asylum or if they fail to follow applicable rules, they are legally deported. In other words, the immigrant failed to meet conditions for asylum. Without rules, we might as well live with the animals.
So these people are going through the court system to determine if their asylum claim is being taken seriously? You would disavow it if asylum seekers are being deported before they go to court?
I’m talking about all immigrants who sought asylum. Does the Alien Enemies Act apply to them?
only to bad people without souls
I expected the Supreme Court to kiss Trump’s ring and bow down to him. So no surprise here— sadness yes, but no surprise.
Last I checked, we are not at WAR!!! Reprehensible.
The United States is finished. It’s over. The end of yet another empire.
What’s even more insane is the Right is applauding this as being a VICTORY for the rule of law, instead of what it really is: a nail in its coffin. Just like when the judge tried to stop this, they called it UNconstitutional when it was extremely CONSTITUTIONAL. They just keep twisting these words.
So rapidly, too. Poof! Gone.
Winning. Get these people out who don't belong here.
Absolutely disgusting
5 white supreme incels.
The headline doesn’t really explain the order well.
We return to our regularly scheduled Unspeakable Horrors
And El Salvador celebrated (and started building new prisons)
White house wins...everyone else loses
Fuck that stacked supreme court
You have got to be kidding me!!!!!! MY GOD WE ARE IN TROUBLE
I have lost faith in the Supreme Court now, you cannot ship off your own citizens
Innocent people can be kidnapped without due process.
The men on the Extreme Court are bought and paid for. They spit on the Constitution.
This is truly unbelievable. Unless they specifically required some form of due process. If they did not there is no way Trump cannot have anyone he does not like deported. As they will have no recourse in a court of law. Like Schiff, Cheney, McConnell, Kinzinger, or even Obama and Biden.
The ruling seems to be restricted to noncitizens, and does require some form of due process (below). But Trump will obviously continue the abuses until this lands before SCOTUS again.
Thanks, but without due process how do we even know they are non citizens? Besides, does habeas corpus not apply to every PERSON on US soil?
It's supposed to—but with Trump in power, obviously SCOTUS has to reconfirm it (and the ruling seems to insist on due process too, for everyone going forward... but, disastrously, not those captured already).
😔 we are so lost
Felon Trump was testing the waters. The Supreme Court just gave him a pass to disappear his political enemies. Biden should have unpacked the Supreme Court when he had the chance and expanded it.
Biden should have done so many things.
This is sad.
Judge Boasberg got roasted by the Court. They all but called Boasberg a political hack.
You have guns for when your laws fail and your government betrays you.
They should save their money and buy back catchers knee guards. Easier foot and shin movement in case the he makes you prove your fealty and your foot falls asleep
CNN: The US government gets to kidnap and remove people to a foreign prison, without any due process. This is a WIN for Donald Trump. Rule of law? who cares. at CNN we frame everything as a horse race.
The supreme Court ruling actually says they must be given time and the ability to file a habeas petition to get their day in court
ICE: “So like, does 1/2 an hour sound good? That seems like enough time, let’s just hop in this van while you make that phone call”
The next round of deportations will lead to a hearing to determine what an appropriate amount of time would be. They will also likely bar them from their 6th amendment right to an attorney
Yer, D's should have started the reform the courts push after Cit United. Roberts court is not about either the rule of law or checks and balances.
SCOTUS has allowed Trump to kidnap and sell humans into slavery. Fixed your headline.
#idiotfux
F#ck! Treacherous. Cruel evil f#ckery!
Fucking horrifying
Bought and paid for
Next the Trump Administration will remove American Citizens to the El Salvadoran gulag.
The 'Un-Supreme' Court Are Traitors to the... Constitution Rule of Law Due process
He owns the Supreme Court.
JUST IN: The Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump to kill the United States of America, handing Putin a significant victory. FIFY CNN you seem so damn happy about it. Maybe you guys can be the first citizens shipped off, would you report it as it is then? There is no Rule of Law.
The Supreme Court just killed due process. The Courts aren’t going to save us.
Next step…jail American political dissidents.
Land of the free? No more.. it’s over . To the good Americans who never voted for this: get out of there before it’s too late..
And for every innocent person sent without due process... Maybe the SCOTUS should be put in a Russian prison while they let that person get beat and gang raped!! I hope they all rot in Hell for this. It would be horrible if the 2A solved their dilemma for them.
I thought they merely requested more time for review, which is dis heartening enough. Just when I think I see a spark of decency in this court it always turns out to be an optical illusion.
Your Country is fucked up. Is it beyond repair?
Next step: deport the ones with other opinions. Run for your lives! Send from Germany. 😞
This is also not quite true: the majority ruled that aliens do have due process rights and must have the opportunity to be heard by a judge BEFORE removal.
Removal seems inevitable still
Unbelievable.
bsky.app/profile/news...
THIS COUNTRY IS F_ _ KED!
When a law gets in your way, just break it and the supreme court will write you a new one. USA is now lawless
The Supreme Court is nothing but a bunch of criminals paid off to do the bidding of a dictator. I hope they like the end.
Roberts court FAILED to act on behalf of Mr. Garcia which shows their complicity and fealty to a FELON. Roberts court is corrupt and their ruling once again will enable a FELON that will cause MANY more people to become DISAPPEARED. WAKE UP PEOPLE ❗
Can Trump self deport?
Booooo!!!!!!!!!!
I won’t claim to know the finer, intricate details of the Alien Enemies Act. However, if the basis for the AEA is for it to be used in wartime— can SCOTUS or Donald advise with which country we’re currently at war?
So much for protecting the constitution.
I guess SCOTUS has caved to the cheeto. Matter of days before aMerica is a fucking wash
“…people deported going forward should receive notice…” Well the nearly 300 folk already in Camp Hell will be relieved to hear that! But if SCOTUS is blessing the unchecked power being claimed, how can they then say “but only if you do it right” and why would 47 care?
And the loser is … the United States of America and the Constitution of the United States
So do we start carrying our papers wherever we go? Wear some kind of identifying, colorful shape upon our lapels? How about frame this as a major, terrifying threat to the people in this country instead of a win for the regime? Have you all learned nothing? Of course you’ve learned nothing.
Some universities are already advising their international students to carry their papers with them wherever they go.
Yup. I live in a college town. This is all so outrageous and so un-american. Well, I suppose it’s very American now.
Hits hard for me because years ago I was an international student on a visa, twice. Times have changed…😞
It is the worst of times.
WTF???
Fuck all these people it's time to turn the heat up. I'm disgusted with my country. We are a scum of the Earth country.
Tell the whole story 🤬
SC’s a joke. Same body that ruled how Trump can get away with anything
CNN, it's absolutely grotesque that you've chosen to call the government's legal ability to send human beings to concentration/death camps a "victory."
“Handing a devastating blow to humanity and compassion,” would be a far more apt headline/teaser.
Or violating the Constitution.
“SCOTUS allows Trump to use centuries-old law for mass deportations” is a proper headline.
Yassss! 💯🙌
Repulsive
It was a fun ride
Fuck the Supreme Court, MAGA and Trump ! Fuck the GOP, may you all get the punishment you deserve
So, Supreme Court justices are satisfied with Trump to send legal residents out of the country without evidence & trials.🤔🤔🤔
And suddenly nobody is arguing that the court has been political weaponized…
Insane
A victory for fascism though, right?
Lock, stock, and barrel. Let's start these discussions somewhere. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov
John Roberts is not ashamed he anointed Trump king. The crown is implied.
The Supreme Court is the Republicans' own private court. McConnell knew how to play the dumb Democrats.
We aren’t in war times. What is wrong with the Supreme Court? Follow President, people! You know better but some on the court are about helping Trump at any cost!
