The Issue: The probably unlawful deportations of Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador.
As somebody who voted for President Trump thrice, I however agree with The Post’s editorial stance (“Deport Them — Legally,” Editorial, March 17).
Did the Trump administration ignore a federal courtroom order briefly blocking flights deporting accused Venezuelan gang members? Seems seemingly. Trump’s staff says that is headed to the Supreme Court, the place they consider they’ll win.
No matter what, the rule of law should maintain. I consider the decide has the authority to halt new flights till he hears arguments, however Trump additionally has the fitting to make use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to stop what his administration argues is an invasion
Ultimately, I’m grateful Trump stopped the sluggish bleeding at our borders and is attempting to undo the injury Biden’s open-border insurance policies precipitated.

Earth to The Post’s editors: This is the true world. We are in a time of warfare. Just as Lincoln halted habeas corpus and took different unconstitutional actions as a result of he was dwelling in actuality, exigencies require decisive motion now.
