Trump Criticizes Judges' Actions Against Deportation Plans

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized federal judges who have blocked his administration’s attempts to expedite migrant deportations, arguing that providing due process to each migrant is impractical and poses security risks. Trump and some conservative allies have labeled judicial opposition to his immigration policies as a form of 'judicial insurrection.' His administration attempted to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities, but federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have consistently ruled against these efforts. Recent court decisions have also temporarily stopped the government from deporting certain groups, such as Venezuelan migrants, under the Alien Enemies Act, requiring migrants be given notice and the opportunity to challenge their removal. Local governments and community organizations have faced grant cancellations as part of the administration’s hardline stance. These ongoing legal and logistical hurdles have hindered the large-scale deportation strategy Trump campaigned on.
