The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a significant legal development regarding the deportation of criminal illegal aliens. The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 order allowing DHS to continue its efforts, despite a previous District Court ruling that had temporarily halted such actions.
This decision permits DHS to deport criminal illegal aliens who are not accepted by their home countries to third countries willing to receive them. This comes after an incident where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were left stranded in Djibouti with eight criminals due to judicial intervention.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "The Supreme Court ruling is a victory for the safety and security of the American people." She criticized the Biden Administration for its handling of immigration, suggesting it allowed many illegal aliens into the country. McLaughlin emphasized that the Trump Administration can now use its authority to address what she termed as a "national security nightmare."
She further noted, "If these activist judges had their way, aliens who are so uniquely barbaric that their own countries won’t take them back, including convicted murderers, child rapists and drug traffickers, would walk free on American streets."
McLaughlin concluded by affirming DHS's position: “DHS can now execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens to a country willing to accept them," adding emphatically, “Fire up the deportation planes.”
