The Battle for Presidential Authority
President Donald Trump’s administration is locked in a constitutional showdown with activist judges who continue to block his use of the Alien Enemies Act—a 1798 law empowering presidents to deport foreign threats during wartime. On April 2, Trump’s legal team filed a final brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn lower court rulings that halted mass deportations of Venezuelan nationals with suspected gang ties. Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris warned that these injunctions threaten “the President’s essential responsibilities” to protect national security.
“An individual district court cannot broadly restrict the President from executing his essential responsibilities, regardless of how the order is framed or its length.”

The Deep State’s Courtroom Sabotage
Federal judges appointed by Democrats have weaponized nationwide injunctions to stall Trump’s agenda. A staggering 92.2% of injunctions against Trump’s policies in his first term came from Democrat-appointed judges. House Republicans are now advancing legislation to rein in this abuse, including Rep. Darrell Issa’s bill to ban universal injunctions and Sen. Chuck Grassley’s proposal to limit rulings to specific plaintiffs.
Trump’s Constitutional Duty
The Alien Enemies Act was invoked after intelligence linked Venezuelan migrants to Tren de Aragua, a violent gang destabilizing Latin America. Despite evidence, Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg blocked deportations, claiming the administration failed to provide due process. Yet the law explicitly grants the president wartime authority to act swiftly—a power upheld for over two centuries until activist judges rewrote the rules.
The Hypocrisy of “Rule by Injunction”
While the left accuses Trump of authoritarianism, their reliance on judicial overreach reveals their contempt for democracy. House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to use Congress’s authority to defund rogue courts if necessary: “We can abolish an entire district court… But in desperate circumstances, extraordinary measures are necessary.” This isn’t tyranny—it’s accountability for judges who put globalist agendas above American sovereignty.
Stand With Patriots, Not Paperwork
The Supreme Court must side with the Constitution, not the deep state’s endless delays. Every day these injunctions stand, criminal aliens remain on U.S. soil. Follow Golden Age Patriots on X and Facebook to stay updated as we expose the judiciary’s war on America First policies.
