US Supreme Court maintains block on Trump deportations under wartime law

President Donald Trump on Saturday slammed the US Supreme Court for ruling against him on a migrant deportation case and called it a "bad and dangerous day" for the United States.

His sharp retort came after the Supreme Court blocked his bid to resume deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA), which was last used to round up Japanese-Americans during World War II.

"The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process, one that will take, possibly, many years for each person, and one that will allow these people to commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse," he posted on Truth Social.
