String of Supreme Court Rulings Move President’s Agenda Forward

The Epoch Times Header

More than 100 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration. So far, of seven that reached the high court, the president has won five and lost two.

Nonprofits, states, and others have launched more than 100 legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s agenda, sometimes halting his actions.

Here is a breakdown of the Supreme Court’s rulings on Trump’s policies so far. Each of these was brought on appeal by the Trump administration, which requested temporary halts of lower court rulings blocking certain executive actions. As such, they’ve prompted decisions by the high court that mostly offer narrow legal rulings rather than drawing firm conclusions of law, as Supreme Court cases more typically do.

“In all, the administration has been largely successful in cases reaching the Supreme Court,” Joe Luppino-Esposito, federal policy chief at Pacific Legal Foundation, a libertarian legal group, told The Epoch Times.

“There appears to be two clear trends—rejection of sweeping, overbroad lower court orders, and an affirmation of the idea of the unitary executive. Issues involving those employees or other appointees of the executive branch are particularly falling the president’s way.”

Of the 10 Supreme Court appeals that the Trump administration has filed in recent months, the administration has won five and lost two. Three cases surrounding Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order have yet to be decided.

Deportations

On April 7, the Supreme Court handed Trump a win in his use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

While the court didn’t rule on the legality of Trump’s invocation of the 18th-century law, it did remove one of the lower court’s blocks on his deportations. In doing so, the high court allowed the deportations to proceed but required the Trump administration to provide notice to deportees before their removal flights.

The plaintiffs in that case had challenged Trump in the wrong court and with an improper legal avenue, a majority said. It also agreed with the administration that the proper avenue for challenging a detention was through a petition known as habeas corpus, rather than the method the plaintiffs used.
