Raw Story: 'Our Country, as we know it, is finished!' Trump rages at legal setback in overnight rant

Raw Story - 'Our Country, as we know it, is finished!' Trump rages at legal setback in overnight rant

Buffeted by multiple court rulings overturning actions taken by his administration, Donald Trump took to Truth Social in the wee hours of Saturday morning to lash out at the legal system.

On Thursday, Trump-nominated U.S. District Judge Fernandez Rodriguez permanently blocked the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security from transferring or removing Venezuelans held under the Alien Enemies Act in the Southern District of Texas.

Judge Rodriguez wrote, “The court concludes that as a matter of law, the executive branch cannot rely on the A.E.A., based on the proclamation, to detain the named petitioners and the certified class, or to remove them from the country."

That, apparently, set off the president who fired off an attack on his social media platform.

Early Saturday, Trump wrote, "Can it be so that Judges aren’t allowing the USA to Deport Criminals, including Murderers, out of our Country and back to where they came from? If this is so, our Country, as we know it, is finished! Americans will have to get used to a very different, crime filled, LIFE."

"transportation." In those days, prostitutes, pick-pockets, grifters, and other relatively minor criminals were shipped out to the penal colonies of Australia and the U.S. -- but first they had to be sentenced by a judge.

Trump/Bondi refuse to make even the slightest effort to ensure that innocent people aren't being mistakenly transported to penal colonies.
