Judge criticizes Supreme Court deportation decision
U.S. Circuit Court Judge James Ho criticized the Supreme Court's 7-2 Friday decision to block the Trump administration from deporting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under the Alien Enemies Act.
In a concurring opinion published Tuesday, Ho wrote that he was sincerely concerned how "the President and other officials have been treated in this case."
"I worry that the disrespect they have been shown will not inspire continued respect for the judiciary, without which we cannot long function," he added.
As a jab at the high court, Ho pointed to examples of former presidents, such as Barack Obama and Joe Biden, defying the justices' decisions. He cited Obama's public criticism of the Supreme Court during his 2010 State of the Union address, where he knocked its Citizens United ruling. Ho also referenced Biden's reported boast about sidestepping the Supreme Court on student loan forgiveness.

I agree with Judge How. In fact, the court's decision looks like a serious mistake that threatens national security in dealing with an invasion by a Venezuelan terrorist gang. A requirement that the gang members be given an individual hearing is ludicrous.
