Order is latest example of the courts challenging the Trump administration’s overhaul of the immigration system

The US supreme court has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily halt the deportation of Venezuelan men in immigration custody, after their lawyers said they were at imminent risk of removal without the judicial review previously mandated by the justices.

“The government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this court,” the justices said early on Saturday.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, two of the court’s leading conservatives, dissented.

        “So Johnny ‘Gavel Guy’ Roberts—never elected, by the way, nobody voted for him—he comes out, makes his decision, thinks he’s so smart. And now he’s gotta enforce it. HA! Good luck, Johnny Boy! Total joke. Can’t do it. Nobody’s listening. Not even close. Sad!”

          Honestly that is much more likely how he’d say it.
