While the mainstream media clutches its pearls and sobs over “due process,” President Trump is taking bold action to protect our borders. In a move that’s driving the left into a frenzy, his administration is deporting alleged gang members without the bureaucratic red tape, ensuring the safety of real Americans. No more waiting years for court dates while possibly dangerous individuals roam free—Trump is putting America first, and the liberals can’t handle it.
The Trump administration has invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expedite the removal of individuals with suspected links to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. This decisive action has led to the deportation of over 200 Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador’s high-security CECOT prison, bypassing the usual courtroom theatrics.
Critics, unsurprisingly, are up in arms. They highlight cases like that of Merwil Gutiérrez, a 19-year-old deported despite not being the actual target of the ICE warrant. Andry Hernández Romero, a Venezuelan makeup artist, was reportedly deported over tattoos honoring his parents. Pointing out that most of those deported have no evidence of criminal behavior, the left uses these stories to frame the policy as unjust. They are clearly overlooking the larger threat posed by suspected former gang members, even if many of the deportees fled Venezuela to escape from the gang.
While the usual suspects decry these actions as “unconstitutional” or “inhumane,” many Americans see them as necessary steps to reclaim our sovereignty and are comfortable with the administration ignoring the constitution. The battle between national security and bureaucratic red tape continues, but one thing is clear: under Trump’s leadership, the safety of American citizens takes precedence over the rule of law.
Even when courts attempted to intervene, the administration stood firm. A federal judge’s order to halt deportations was effectively sidestepped, with officials arguing that the flights were already enroute and beyond jurisdiction. This unwavering commitment to national security sends a clear message: America will not be held hostage by legal technicalities, due process, and checks-and-balances.
This hardline approach has even sparked conversation about whether similar tactics should be applied domestically. Trump has repeatedly stated that he supports using the Insurrection Act and other emergency powers to detain and remove American citizens he deems threats to the country—particularly those he labels as “radical leftists” or “domestic terrorists.” While this rhetoric has alarmed civil liberties advocates, many of his supporters view it as a natural extension of his border policies. As the dust settles, we’ll see whether the courts recognize that sometimes you have to ignore the Constitution in order to get things done.
