The Supreme Court's decision to prevent the removal of Venezuelan migrants marks an essential counterbalance to the Trump Administration's actions. Despite a conservative majority, the federal judiciary has consistently challenged various executive orders, revealing its potential as a bulwark against constitutional violations. Judges, appointed by both Democratic and Republican Presidents, have acted decisively on issues ranging from birthright citizenship to the rights of trans individuals in the military. This judicial response offers a glimmer of hope ahead of the midterm elections, contrasting the perceived complacency of the legislative branch.
"The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court."
"Lately, the federal judiciary has responded with impressive speed and fortitude to Trump's fusillade of executive orders and other actions."
"Though the courts have not invariably ruled against Trump, the Administration's record so far is, to use one of the President's favorite words, sad."
"The conservative Justices may not all be fans of this particular President, but they are generally inclined to an expansive view of executive power."
