Donald Trump said that he must remove criminal migrants from the United States because it will take ‘200 years’ for everyone to get a fair trial.
The president has been furious at the court for months as they attempt to overrule his plans for mass deportations.
Barack Obama-appointed District Judge James Boasberg has gone as far as threatening administration members with criminal prosecution for contempt of court.
The GOP-controlled Congress has attempted to fight back, passing a measure in the House that restricts federal district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions.
Trump spoke his peace on the issue on his Truth Social account Monday evening.
‘I’m doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don’t seem to want me to do that,’ he said.
Trump complimented his administration for doing ‘an incredible job’ to achieve his goals but complained of the Supreme Court stopping him ‘at every turn.’
He said they don’t want him ‘to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela, or any other Country, for that matter — People that came here illegally!’

Trump claimed that conservative Justice Samuel Alito is on his side, hoping to ‘dissolve the pause on deportations.’
However, he argued that the remainder of the Supreme Court and lower courts ‘are intimidated by the Radical Left’ whom he accuses of ‘playing the Ref’ or trying to cheat.
He then said that he simply has to do immediate deportations because of the amount of time it was take to do it through the courts.
‘We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years. We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of Illegals we are sending out of the Country,’ Trump wrote.
The president called the entire situation ‘ridiculous’ and ended on his longtime call of ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
‘If we don’t get these criminals out of our Country, we are not going to have a Country any longer,’ he added.
It’s unclear if Trump is referencing a specific ruling, though he did mention Venezuelan migrants, where he saw a legal warning Monday.
U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney said during a court hearing in Denver that notices of looming deportations given to Venezuelan migrants held at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Texas made no mention of habeas corpus, which refers to the right of detainees to challenge the legality of their detention.

‘You’re acting as if these individuals – many of whom don’t speak the language – would know there’s something called habeas relief,’ said Sweeney, an appointee of former Democratic President Joe Biden.
‘I’m looking at the notice now. It gives no indication of any right to seek any type of relief.’
Sweeney said she would rule by Tuesday on whether to extend her order protecting two Venezuelan men in immigration custody in Colorado from being deported under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
Lawyers for Venezuelan migrants are trying to persuade judges across the country to require the government to give migrants 30 days’ notice before deporting them under the 1798 act, after the high court this weekend temporarily blocked the federal government from deporting a group of Venezuelans held at Bluebonnet.
Meanwhile, in a Monday filing to the Supreme Court, the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the migrants, urged the justices to maintain the block, writing that officials had not provided the migrants at Bluebonnet the required notice or opportunity to contest the removals before many were loaded on buses headed to the airport.
Elsewhere, a Supreme Court ruling has ordered the Trump administration to help facilitate El Salvadoran alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return.
The administration has said it has no power to bring him back, a position being scrutinized by federal courts as potentially in violation of judicial rulings.
Nationwide injunctions granted by federal district judges that impact all Americans may soon be a vestige of the past after a Republicans pushed through a bill to help the Trump administration.

The House passed the ‘No Rogue Rulings Act’ two weeks ago. The bill now heads to the Republican-Senate, which is expected to pass the measure.
The bill restricts federal district courts from issuing nationwide injunctions, except in certain instances, and is aimed to curtail judicial blocks on the Trump administration’s agenda.
‘These rogue judge rulings are a new resistance to the Trump administration and the only time in which judges in robes in this number have felt it necessary to participate in the political process,’ the bill’s author, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said.
‘The federal judiciary isn’t interpreting the law. It is impeding the presidency. It is, in fact, not co-equal, but holding itself to be superior.’
It was a top priority for Republicans in Congress as they claim ‘rouge’ judges were improperly curtailing presidential authority.
‘We’re going to prevent activist judges from issuing these unconstitutional nationwide injunctions and legislating to the bench, which has become a real problem,’ Speaker Mike Johnson said.
Trump has been frustrated by judges across the country from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco for ruling against his deportation and DOGE orders. The president even took the unprecedented step of calling for one judge’s removal.
