The Supreme Court’s Late-Night Rebuke to Trump Is Extraordinary in More Ways Than One

[placeholder]

The court’s late-night intervention is an extraordinary and highly unusual rebuke to the government, one that may well mark a turning point in the majority’s approach to this administration. For months, SCOTUS has given the government every benefit of the doubt, accepting the Justice Department’s dubious assertions and awarding Trump immense deference. On Saturday, however, a majority of justices signaled that they no longer trust the administration to comply with the law, including the court’s own rulings.

And with good reason they don't trust the Trump Justice Dept.  A federal judge in the southern district of Texas ruled that they couldn't send the detainees out of the country. Subsequently all the detainees were moved to the northern district. The Justice Dept. denies that the move was designed to circumvent the decision of the judge or that they were planning to send the detainees to El Salvador. Clearly, the majority of the Supremes didn't believe the Justice Dept.

Alito’s Emergency Deportation Dissent Misrepresents the Most Crucial Fact in the Case

 Perhaps Alito’s most egregious misrepresentation, however, was not legal, but factual: The justice wrote that Trump administration lawyers “informed” a federal judge that “no” deportations “were planned to occur” on Friday or Saturday, so there was no need for emergency action. That is false. And what the Justice Department actually said in court reinforces the wisdom and necessity of the Supreme Court’s dramatic move.
