The Supreme Court that Trump appointed 1/3 of keeps siding with Trump. Last night, the high court essentially ruled Trump could continue illegally deporting Venezuelan immigrants using the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law that can only be used when the United States is at war with a foreign country (we are not at war with Venezuela). Not being satisfied with that outrage, it further emboldened Trump by ruling today that his illegal firing of thousands of federal workers are now okay and he does not have to reinstate any of them.

While the Supreme Court's ruling said immigrants facing deportation under the 1798 wartime law now have the right to due process within a "reasonable time" (whatever that means), it said nothing of the rights of those immigrants already illegally shipped to a notoriously dangerous concentration camp in El Salvador in March using the same law. Seeing as Trump has continuously denied that these men have any legal rights to contest their detention there, the Supreme Court has effectively declared them dead to the law. This is chilling, as the more we learn about those who were deported to the infamous concentration camp, the more violations of due process and proof of purposeful cruelty we find.
