US President Donald Trump today urged the Supreme Court to solve the problem he says is the federal judges who have blocked his decisions since he returned to the White House, considering this a “toxic situation”.
If Chief Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court of the United States do not immediately resolve this toxic and unprecedented situation, our country will be in grave danger!”, Trump stressed in a note on his social network, Truth Social, in a new attack on the judicial system.
Trump called for an immediate end to “national injunctions, before it's too late”.
“Illegal nationwide injunctions by judges of the radical left could very well lead to the destruction of our country! These people are lunatics who don't care in the slightest about the repercussions of their very dangerous and incorrect decisions and rulings,” he stressed.
The US head of state argued that it is “the duty of law-abiding government agencies to overturn these orders”.
"These judges want to assume the powers of the presidency without having to reach 80 million votes. They want all the advantages without any of the risks. Once again, it is necessary that a president be authorized to act quickly and decisively on issues such as returning murderers, drug traffickers, rapists and other similar criminals to their homelands or to other places that allow our country to be safe," he added.
The message comes two days after a rare rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts.
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to a disagreement over a judicial decision," he said in a statement, without directly naming Donald Trump.
"The ordinary appeal procedure exists for this purpose," he emphasized.
Roberts' remarks came after the Republican president called for the impeachment of James Boasberg, a federal judge in Washington.
The magistrate had ordered over the weekend a 14-day suspension of all expulsions of migrants based on an exceptional 18th century law and, in particular, demanded that the expulsion to El Salvador of some 200 alleged members of a Venezuelan gang be halted.
Many of Donald Trump's executive orders since he returned to the White House on January 20 have been challenged in court, often suspended by judges who believe the US president was exceeding his powers.
Six of the nine justices on the Supreme Court are conservatives. Three of them were appointed by Donald Trump himself during his first term (2017-2021).
