Court Blocks Trump’s Deportation Power—Split Ruling Sparks Fury

Another court fight just landed squarely in the middle of Trump’s immigration war—and this time, the Fifth Circuit sided against him.

In a split 2–1 decision, judges rejected Trump’s appeal to activate the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as a weapon against today’s mass migration waves. The majority claimed hostile regimes fueling border chaos aren’t the “modern equivalent” of a foreign invasion.

Trump has insisted otherwise, arguing that millions pouring in from places like Venezuela—egged on by hostile governments—amount to a predatory incursion that threatens America’s sovereignty. One dissenting judge backed him, blasting the majority for second-guessing the Commander in Chief on matters the Constitution says are his call.

For Trump’s base, the ruling is proof of the deeper problem: activist judges bending the law to stop him from defending the border. For the White House, it’s fuel to double down—vowing mass removals, expanded ICE recruitment, and a fight all the way to the Supreme Court if needed.

The bottom line: Trump sees an invasion, the courts call it politics, and the border crisis rages on.
