United States President Donald Trump praised the Supreme Court's decision on Alien Enemies Act, calling it "a great day for justice in America." He said the ruling upheld the rule of law and allowed "a president to secure our borders and protect our families and our country." Trump described the outcome as a major victory for the nation, saying the justices made the right call in letting him enforce immigration laws.
The 5-4 ruling allows Trump to use the law to speed up the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members. The court overturned a lower judge's order that had blocked the move, but said migrants must still get a fair chance to challenge removal.
Trump's allies quickly backed the decision. Vice President JD Vance said the decision stopped "far left judges in DC" from blocking Trump's actions. Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem called it a "victory for commonsense security," while Attorney General Pamela Bondi said officials would now seek and deport gang members.
