Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump calls on the Supreme Court to curb the power of federal judges who have issued a national ban to block its policies, warning that non-action could have serious consequences for the country.
Since returning to the president in January, federal courts are hearing more than 100 lawsuits challenging various moves from Trump and his administration, with some judges imposing a nationwide ban to prevent him from cutting his policy of reducing his auto-birth citizenship.
“Stop the national ban before it’s too late,” Trump wrote in a social media post. “If Judge Roberts and the U.S. Supreme Court immediately resolve this toxic and unprecedented situation, our country will be in very serious trouble!”
The Supreme Court’s 6-3 Conservative majority include three judges appointed by Trump in office.
Attorneys representing the administration asked the judge to narrow the judicial barriers imposed by orders against Trump on March 13 to orders against birthright citizenship, a key element of his tough approach to immigration.
The Justice Department has challenged the scope of three national bans issued by federal judges in Washington, Massachusetts and Maryland against Trump’s orders.
Trump’s latest comments were posted in Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday urged an impeachment federal judge to deport the responsibility for deportation of legal challenges in order to deport Venezuelans accused of being a gang member. As a claim that the enforcement power faces judicial obstacles, tensions between the president and the judiciary have disappeared.
“For more than two centuries, it has been determined that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreements about judicial decisions,” Roberts wrote. The right response is to appeal.
Federal judges have also issued a national ban on the previous presidential administration. Part of Trump’s former Democratic President Joe Biden’s agenda was plagued by such judicial obstacles, including a national ban on his plan to lift $430 billion in student loan debt, a policy that was ultimately blocked by the Supreme Court.
