Trump urges immigrants to self-deport; chief justice defends role of federal judges
SUMMARY: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts defended federal judges after President Trump criticized them regarding immigration enforcement. Amid the deportation of hundreds of immigrants, Trump suggested that undocumented individuals could self-deport using the CBP home app. He warned that those who do not comply could face permanent deportation. This situation arose after the Justice Department invoked the alien enemies act to expedite the removal of alleged violent gang members, even with a judge’s verbal order to halt deportations. The Justice Department argued that the judge’s orders were not clear, while Roberts emphasized that impeachment is not suitable for judicial disagreements.

In a video posted on Truth Social, President Donald Trump urged undocumented immigrants to self-deport via the new CBP Home app. Meanwhile, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is defending the role of federal judges amid criticism from President Trump.
