The Trump administration's Justice Department is taking the extraordinary step of asking the Supreme Court to reign in activist lower court judges who are brazenly defying orders from the nation's highest court in a case involving temporary protected status for Syrian nationals.
This marks the THIRD time Solicitor General D. John Sauer has been forced to petition the Supreme Court to lift orders from rogue lower courts that are blocking the removal of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrians - a clear example of the judicial resistance movement that continues to plague President Trump's immigration agenda.
The pattern is unmistakable: liberal judges appointed by previous administrations are openly defying Supreme Court orders in what the DOJ is calling a "persistent disregard" for the rule of law. These aren't simple disagreements over legal interpretation - this is outright judicial rebellion against the highest court in America.
Deep State Courts vs. The People's Will
What we're witnessing is nothing short of a constitutional crisis manufactured by left-wing judges who simply cannot accept that the American people voted for secure borders and immigration enforcement. These activist courts are essentially declaring themselves above the Supreme Court, creating their own immigration policy from the bench.
"The lower courts' persistent disregard for Supreme Court precedent cannot be allowed to continue," the Justice Department argued in their filing.
President Trump campaigned on ending the abuse of programs like TPS that have been weaponized to create permanent backdoor immigration. The Syrian civil war that originally justified these protections has largely concluded, yet activist judges continue manufacturing legal excuses to keep these programs running indefinitely.
This judicial resistance represents everything wrong with our current system - unelected bureaucrats in robes thinking they can override both the Supreme Court AND the will of the American people who decisively chose Trump's immigration agenda.
How many times must the Supreme Court be forced to smack down these rogue courts before they finally respect the rule of law? The answer should be zero - but here we are, watching lower courts openly defy the highest judicial authority in our nation.
