In a stunning rebuke to activist judges, the Supreme Court and the 4th Circuit on Monday handed President Trump a legal hat trick, affirming his authority to protect America from foreign threats and thrusting the judiciary back into its constitutional lane.
These three rulings — concerning the Alien Enemies Act, an MS-13 deportation and government transparency — must serve as a powerful repudiation of the judicial overreach that has sought to obstruct Trump’s agenda.
First, the Supreme Court slammed the brakes on DC District Court Judge James Boasberg and greenlit Trump’s expeditious deportation of Tren de Aragua thugs and other alien enemies.
The president has near-limitless power to boot out foreign threats deemed to constitute an invasion or incursion, under the terms of the Alien Enemies Act.
On Monday, the court made it clear that challenges to such removals can only come via individual habeas petitions, not class-action sob stories.
This means Trump can keep shipping out dangerous illegal immigrants without rogue judges’ blanket orders gumming up the works.
In a separate ruling, Chief Justice John Roberts stepped in to stop a lower court from demanding the immediate return of an alleged MS-13 gangbanger from El Salvador, where he’s being held in a notorious mega-prison.
The order was short, but the message was clear: Courts don’t get to meddle when the executive is acting to quell a public safety threat — not even when an “administrative error” sends the deportee to the wrong country.
Roberts’ temporary halt signaled sympathy to Trump’s position that foreign policy and national security are squarely the executive’s responsibility.
A court doesn’t get to second-guess those actions, or to demand negotiations with foreign powers to retrieve an individual who was deemed deportable years ago.
Rounding out the trifecta, the 4th Circuit ruled that Trump’s DOGE watchdog crew can access government data to sniff out fraud and waste.
The court said the plaintiffs, including five public-employee unions who sued to block the release of information from several federal departments, did not present proof of concrete injury — and that Trump is likely to win on the merits.
The ruling immediately reinstated DOGE’s probe.
It was both a win for transparency and a decisive blow to judges’ attempts to shield bureaucrats from the president’s promise to rein in government bloat.
These victories followed an unprecedented judicial assault on Trump’s second term.
Activist judges, Boasberg chief among them, have been firing off nationwide injunctions like confetti, not just questioning Trump’s authority but effectively trying to sit in his Oval Office chair.
For all the left’s whining about Trump as a “fascist dictator,” it’s the judiciary that’s been twisting the Constitution and the rule of law to undermine his agenda.
Article II hands the president nearly unilateral control over foreign policy and national security.
Imagine if every drone strike needed a judge’s OK — or worse, if courts ordered the military to bomb someone.
Laughable, right?
Yet that’s exactly what these district court judges have been trying to do.
It is Trump’s job to deport national security threats; the courts have no business playing border cop.
Boasberg is the poster child for this nonsense.
He’s now pushing contempt proceedings against Justice Department lawyers for not instantly decoding his unlawful, murky orders to halt a complex deportation operation.
He wanted planes turned around in mid-flight — as if he was directing an action flick.
Meanwhile, the judiciary can dawdle for months on cases that stall Trump’s agenda.
With only four years to deliver, this double standard isn’t just unfair — it’s a democracy-killer.
Monday’s rulings aren’t partisan; they’re principled.
The president, any president, owns national security and runs the executive branch.
Still simmering is the Mahmoud Khalil circus.
This Columbia grad student claims his deportation is a First Amendment violation, but don’t buy it: It’s not about free speech, but about backing Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
Khalil didn’t just rant; he’s alleged to have organized support for Hamas, intimidated Jewish students and lied on immigration forms.
The First Amendment doesn’t cover that, nor should it.
He’s crying martyrdom while his pregnant wife waits, but he’s the one dragging out his losing argument.
While the merits of Khalil’s case have yet to be fully litigated, the writing is on the wall that he’ll be booted.
There’s firm Supreme Court precedent: In December 2024, it unanimously reaffirmed the secretary of state’s expansive discretionary powers to revoke previously approved visas.
These judicial victories all point to one undeniable truth: Trump was right, and the activist judges were wrong.
On Tuesday, he got an additional Supreme Court victory when it halted a district judge’s order requiring the reinstatement of 16,000 workers Trump had sought to fire.
Perhaps the judiciary’s finally catching on to its limits.
All but a few district court judges will take these decisions to heart — and forum shopping, nationwide orders and intrusion onto Article II authority will screech to a halt.
Trump’s got the mandate — and the muscle — to shield America from gangbangers, terrorists and fraudsters.
The courts need to quit the power grab and let him do his job.
The rule of law’s back, and it’s wearing a red hat.
