President Donald Trump again took to social media to lean on the conservative Supreme Court to greenlight his administration's mass deportation plans.
The Trump administration has multiple immigration cases before the Supreme Court this year. This month, officials asked the high court to allow it to end humanitarian parole for more than 500,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, which was granted under a Biden-era program.

Additionally, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelan men in Texas under the rarely used 1700s-era Alien Enemies Act. The ruling paused imminent removals in a rebuke to the administration’s approach to expedited deportations.
On Monday, Trump railed against the judicial system on his Truth Social platform.
"If we’re not allowed to send the murderers and other criminals of every type, size, and shape, IMMEDIATELY out of our Country, we aren’t going to have a Country anymore. Radical Left Judges and politicians don’t care, but 90% of the people in the U.S.A. do. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will agree with this and, SAVE AMERICA!" he complained.
Trump's post comes less than a week after Chief Justice John Roberts took a thinly veiled shot at him during an interview.
“In our Constitution, judges and the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law — and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the President. And that innovation doesn't work if the judiciary is not independent," said Roberts.
His remarks stunned CNN anchor Erin Burnett on Wednesday, who noted, "he knows the weight of every word."
