Donald Trump wrote today (on Beijing Time April 20): "Sleepy Joe Biden, the worst president in American history, actually allowed millions of criminals, many of whom are murderers and drug dealers, as well as people released from prisons and mental institutions all over the world, to enter our country through a dangerously designed and poorly constructed open border. Sorry, but my duty is to get rid of these murderers and thugs. This is my mission after being elected. MAGA!"
[Cleverly added]: Before Trump posted this message, the US Supreme Court made an unusual ruling late at night on Friday, voting 7 to 2 to order the Trump administration to stop deporting any foreign citizens under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The Trump administration has recently taken a hard-line stance on immigration policies, especially against Venezuelan and Salvadoran immigrants. Take the case of Kilmar Abrego García, a Salvadoran citizen accused by the Trump administration of being an MS-13 gang member, who was directly deported to El Salvador's super-prison. However, as seen from previous posts, the evidence is unreliable. Trump even used a photo of what he claimed to be a "gang tattoo" to smear García, which was later exposed by García's family and Senator Van Hollen. This Supreme Court ruling actually provides a breathing space for people like García who have been wrongfully accused.
Further investigation shows that the Trump administration did this largely to fulfill his tough campaign promises, cracking down on illegal immigrants to win votes. But this method is too crude, failing to uphold legal bottom lines. The Supreme Court's decision also serves as a reminder to Trump that presidential power cannot be arbitrarily abused; the rule of law must still be observed.
However, this issue may not be resolved yet. Trump is unlikely to give up easily and may find other ways to deal with immigrants. Therefore, after the US Supreme Court blocked him from deporting illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, Trump posted the above text.
