Supporters of President Donald Trump’s hardline deportation policy took a victory lap on Monday following the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.
The Monday legal win for Trump overturned U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s ruling temporarily blocking administration officials from moving forward with deportations under the wartime act– which an appeals court left untouched last week.
The Supreme Court’s decision was cheered as “a landmark victory for the rule of law” by Attorney General Pam Bondi, a position others in the MAGA world echoed throughout social media.
“An activist judge in Washington, DC does not have the jurisdiction to seize control of President Trump’s authority to conduct foreign policy and keep the American people safe,” Bondi concluded in a post on X. “The Department of Justice will continue fighting in court to make America safe again.”
“Another huge win,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) wrote in his own X post. “Woke activist judges have no business blocking the President from exercising his constitutional authority.”

“MAJOR VICTORY: SCOTUS ruled in favor of President Trump and will allow deportations under the Alien Enemies Act to continue,” Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) posted on X. “Judge Boasberg ignored precedent and must be held accountable. Now let’s get these criminal illegal aliens out of our country.”
Former Fox News and NBC News host Megyn Kelly told her X followers she was still reading through the ruling but added: “Bye Judge Boasberg!”
“SCOTUS just handed Boasberg his a-- on a platter,” MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman wrote on X. “They ruled against him and granted Trump the power to use The Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The Lawfare is crumbling!” He later added in a follow-up post: "This is HUGE! DEPORT THEM ALL! EXPEL THE INVADERS!"
“HOLY S--- The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a MASSIVE win against Judge Boasberg,” the right-wing X account MAGA Voice wrote. “All Rogue Judges should be disbarred. I LOVE ALL THIS WINNING.”
