Justice Jackson accuses her colleagues of “repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference.”
I don’t understand how this makes sense. They had a protected status because their home country was having a crisis. So this would make me think the administration was saying the crisis is over so they should be able to go home.
Yet the administration specifically is referring to Venezuela as under a democratic crisis with large portions of the population experiencing crisis, on all their government websites, like say congress.gov published on September 30, 2025. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF10230 So their own actions don’t align with their statements?
Ah, you misunderstand. Venezuela is both a stable country that these 300k people can return to and a narco-state run by Tren de Aragua that regularly sends drug shipments into the Caribbean Sea on ordinary fishing boats.
You just have to develop a knack for holding onto both of these ideas at the same time.
Some might call this doublethink.
“The enemy is both strong and weak”
Bro, I can hold so many fucking conflicting ideas, you have no idea, I’m the fucking best at it
They’re well aware of the crisis; they just don’t care to support the people affected by it.
This article is light on the details And admittedly I’m too lazy to look them up, but a lot of Supreme Court decisions look a lot worse out of context.
It’s clearly wrong to suddenly end this protection status without finding better solutions for these refugees, and it clearly contradicts the gibberish spewing from the executive branch.
But it’s the courts job to decide things like “yes the executive branch can make the determination“, or “yes that does not conflict with the constitution or established precedence” without regard to whether that determination is immoral or self-serving. That is the separation of powers we want restored.
The cynical part of me points out this will make it easier to make their numbers, to brag about all the “dangerous criminals” they’ve deported.
The even more cynical part of me wonders whether this drug cartel they continually blame even exists …… and why does that putative cartel seem more trustworthy than my government?
Immigration courts denying asylum claims isn’t new. Family friend was denied after he came to America after his brother was murdered by the cartel. I haven’t spoken to him in a long time, last I knew they wanted him to to Mexico (???) and reenter on a different visa.
They were approved though, meaning they had background checks done and have lived in this country with no incidents, right? Taking them away makes no sense unless they are caught actively committing a crime.
This is a rogue Supreme Court
No, they are doing exactly what they were put there to do. They were carefully vetted and groomed for their position
More Kangaroo than Supreme.
They wanted to overturn Roe vs Wade so badly that they installed a court that wants ethnic cleansing.

Eugenics and wanting slave labor seem to be the motivating factors of the capital class in this country.
That’s fair
Starting a war with Venezuela for literally no fucking reason.
The “reason” is to distract from the Epstein files.
It’s the other way round. They can now do anything and people think it’s a distraction from the Epstein files.
And the oil… and the ideological implications…
Bro wtf
They sent notices to people from Venezuela saying that they would be deported and barred from enyering the US unless they self-deported. A lot of people had active asylum claims but decided to leave so that they could come back and renew the claims later.
