DOGE v. The Constitution
🔴 UPDATE: April 19, 2025
Supreme Court halts Trump’s mass renditions under wartime law—raising fears of a looming constitutional crisis
The Trump regime is openly testing the boundaries of dictatorship.
In the dead of night, the Supreme Court was forced to intervene and block the Trump administration from deporting a group of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison—where many could face torture or death. The reason? These deportations were happening with no real due process, under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a law used just three times in American history, most notoriously to justify the internment of Japanese Americans.
And this wasn’t a misunderstanding. The administration deliberately moved detainees to jurisdictions without court orders, handed them “deportation notices” in English they couldn’t read, and loaded them onto buses—all while claiming it was legal. This is what it looks like when the executive branch tests how far it can go before the Constitution breaks.
Key Developments:
The Supreme Court issued an emergency stay halting deportations of Venezuelan detainees under the Alien Enemies Act, pending a decision by the Fifth Circuit. The Court had previously ruled that detainees must be given time to challenge their removal—yet the Trump administration attempted to proceed anyway.
Sources: Reuters, AP NewsImmigration lawyers filed urgent appeals after clients were handed unsigned “notices” declaring them gang members and told they’d be deported the next day—even if they didn’t sign. Some clients were Spanish-speaking and couldn’t read the English-language documents they were pressured to sign.
Sources: AP NewsJudge James Boasberg found probable cause that the Trump administration violated a previous deportation ban and may be in criminal contempt, but said he lacked jurisdiction after detainees were moved across state lines to evade court orders.
Sources: ReutersTrump's administration argued it had the right to deport these individuals without revealing the evidence justifying the deportations. When asked whether due process had been met, Trump replied: “If they’re bad people, I would certainly authorize it. That’s why I was elected. A judge wasn’t.”

The Real Story: Who Wins and Who Pays the Price?
The winners: Trump’s power-hungry regime. By exploiting an obscure wartime law and creating bureaucratic chaos, the White House is daring the courts to stop them—and preparing to ignore them if they don’t act fast enough.
The victims: Every American who thinks constitutional rights still apply. If the government can label someone an “enemy” and deport them without trial, it can do it to anyone. Today it’s Venezuelans. Tomorrow it could be protestors. Journalists. You.
🔍 Why This Matters:
This isn’t a legal technicality—it’s a direct assault on the Constitution. The Trump regime is laying the groundwork for lawless state power. They’re using immigrants to test whether the courts will blink—and when they do, they’ll push harder.
They are already deporting people without charges, ignoring court orders, and punishing judges who speak out. That’s not strong leadership. It’s authoritarianism.
🚨 The Bottom Line:
This is not immigration policy. It’s a war on due process. The Trump regime is using the machinery of the state to rewrite the rules of constitutional democracy—and the Supreme Court barely stopped them in time. But the threat hasn’t passed. It’s only accelerating.

Smooth move, guys, insulting the judge. Do these lawyers know anything about how judges get their jobs?
" Today the combination of schemes used to select judges is almost endless. Almost no two States are alike, and few employ the same method for choosing judges at all levels of their judiciaries. In general, however, approximately half of the States appoint judges and half elect them. Thirty-one States use commission plans to aid the governor in selecting judges. In four States the governor appoints judges without using a nominating commission, subject to senatorial confirmation. In Hawaii and Illinois, judges themselves appoint some of their colleagues. Partisan elections are held to select most or all judges in 13 States and for some judges in an additional 8 States. Nonpartisan elections are held to select most or all judges in 17 States and for some judges in an additional 3 States. One-half of the States hold elections for State supreme court judges. Seventeen States out of the 32 which have intermediate appellate courts elect judges to these courts. "
