Barrett’s Ruling Against Trump Ignites MAGA Backlash
Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s dissent in a 5-4 Supreme Court decision regarding the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members sparked significant backlash from conservative commentators and Trump supporters. Barrett sided with the Court’s three liberal justices, opposing the majority’s decision allowing the deportations to proceed. While the majority opinion ultimately mandated due process for those facing deportation, conservative criticism focused on Barrett’s perceived betrayal of President Trump and her perceived liberal leanings. The case now returns to a lower court for further proceedings.
