Trump urges Supreme Court to end injunctions on orders

zerohedge.com

President Donald Trump is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to stop judges from issuing nationwide injunctions against his executive orders. He argued that these court decisions are causing serious problems for the country. Trump made this statement on his social media platform, Truth Social, addressing Chief Justice John Roberts directly. The Trump administration is currently facing over 100 lawsuits challenging its executive actions. Some federal judges have blocked various policies, including one aimed at prohibiting transgender individuals from serving in the military. Trump criticized these judges as radical and suggested they are overstepping their authority. Trump emphasized that as president, he needs to act quickly to deport criminals and keep the country safe. He is particularly concerned about deporting Venezuelan immigrants linked to a criminal gang. However, a federal judge ruled against his plans to deport these individuals, affecting ongoing actions by his administration. Following this ruling, Trump suggested he might seek to impeach the judge involved, James Boasberg. However, Chief Justice Roberts dismissed that notion, stating impeachment is not appropriate for disagreement with a judge's decision. On March 15, Trump had signed a proclamation claiming that members of the Tren de Aragua gang are conducting hostile actions against the U.S. The White House is continuing its deportation flights while contesting the judge's order. Additionally, Senator Josh Hawley plans to introduce legislation to limit the power of district court judges to block presidential policies. He described the current situation as an abuse of judicial authority, but details about his proposed legislation are not yet available.
