I don't have an issue with this. It'll be tough for the suspected gang bangers to have a successful writ of habeas corpus.

Not sure how Trump claims victory on this. The real winner are those who gain the ability to seek habeas relief after being wrongfully detained.

I’m hopeful now that the Supreme Court makes a positive decision on the Abrego Garcia case.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - The victory is that Trump will presumably be in compliance with the law going forward from this ruling.
I do appreciate your attempt to blame future failures of due process on the previous administration. After all, how can any failure by Trump be attributed to Trump? Accountability is for losers.

SGM Jeff Mccloud Future failures of due process on the previous admin? No… I blame the previous admin for not doing their job. Enemies Act or not (which is a legal act and already covered by the SCOTUS in the past), Biden did almost nothing to stem the flow, deport the masses coming in, pressure states to identify criminals who are also here illegally, and de-incentivize more people from coming here illegally. As a result, we have a record number of well over 10M people here from one term alone. Those drastic inactions by the president have absolutely forced Trump to take more drastic (and legal) measures to reduce that number.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - Nobody's doubting the legality of the Alien Enemies Act, just whether we were actually in compliance with it's legal requirements when we skipped the hearings mentioned in its Section 2 as required.

And yes, we all know that even having illegals inside our country is the greatest problem this country faces.
Somehow it's worse than our own violent crime problems, fraud problems, the coming recession, etc.
But let's not run off the rails and crash headfirst into Hyperbole-ville.
Not only did Biden deport more illegals than Trump 45, but every president going back to Clinton deported more.

Nobody? I'm sorry but your characterization of nobody is highly flawed. Opponents of Trump (who have demonstrated their motivations are about him, not the actual merit of his actions) have been all over the place attempting to claim the law is "old" (so?), can "only be used in wartime" (wrong), challenging the term "invasion" (which is appropriate), etc. Sure, they settled with the due process aspect and even shopped around for a Federal Judge who clearly has it out for Trump (in which the SCOTUS had to also correct by defining the jurisdiction) to challenge him. The limited judicial review will take place, in the appropriate jurisdiction, and Trump will continue to remove dangerous people from this country and put them on notice to think twice about coming here. That's a win (and I mean for the country) and it is far from what Biden would ever consider doing, despite the clear indicators that illegal immigration is a huge issue. Something that even Democrats used to echo.

As for your chart. Title 42 expulsions refers to the rapid removal of migrants at the U.S. border, primarily to Mexico or their home countries, based on a public health provision invoked by the CDC during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for the swift expulsion of migrants to prevent the spread of disease. It was implemented in a significant manner by Trump's admin and continued by Biden (who eventually fought it to the point where the SCOTUS had to order it to continue until Biden declared the COVID emergency was over). So what you're saying is that Biden managed to have higher numbers by being forced to use a tool he did not want to continue using and tried to stop using before the Courts informed him what he'd have to give up first. Biden tried to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to end the expulsions and keep specific COVID emergency measures in place. If you don't see why, you are not looking at the big picture or you simply don't care, but there's no point trading speculations and opinions on that front. In the end, it had little effect on the masses of people coming here. Biden still achieved record surplus numbers of those getting through, and he is absolutely responsible for the largest increase of illegal immigrants in this country today (including those that avoided Title 42). All while claiming he had no power to do anything, while refusing to use the power he did in fact have, while reversing those same powers Trump implemented before him, and while pushing for a bill to allow for substantial numbers to come in before mandating aggressive enforcement (i.e. close the border) by the CBP. But you're going to point to an argument using out of context stats? Ok, let's address that... Trump effectively closed the border to illegals, challenged/removed many of the incentives to come here, and enabled the CBP to enforce the law. Fewer people, as a result, were coming in, which means he had fewer people to immediately deport. Let's also not forget all of this was done with the Democrats in an unprecidented full resistance mode; trying to deny him the ability to build a wall, complaining about kids getting separated, singing sob stories about people who have it bad where they come from and just want a better life, and essentially fighting him at every opportunity, no matter how illogical they were. When Biden came along, he refused to work with the Republicans until it became undeniable he was not doing his job by even by the left leaning media, and so he found a couple of GOP members to agree to help offer up a DOA bill, which would have normalized his inactions (and then tried to blame Trump for killing it). We didn't want it. So, talk about "Hyperbole-ville..." when you create conditions to enable 10M people (and I'm not using real numbers here) into the country, but you manage to deport say 3M of them, you still have a surplus of 7M. When you allow only 1M to get through and you manage to remove a few hundred thousand of them, you're actually doing a better job at getting after the root of the problem. What you're saying is similar to person X running up a $20K credit card bill compared to person Y's $2K credit card bill, and person X pays off half of his balance compared to person Y paying off a quarter. Who would you rather be?

Then you imply this is the only focus by the Trump admin? Never mind the fact that crimes will go down as a result of Trump's illegal immigration enforcement, fraud will also decrease as a result, and our economy will be better off as a result. I realize illegal immigration is not the main cause of these issues, but it does play a role, and it significantly adds to the total numbers year to year. And to suggest Trump is doing little to nothing beyond the focus on enforcing border security and illegal immigration control, is ridiculous. In the first THREE MONTHS, we are literally in a trade war with China as Trump is trying to even out the trade imbalances with them and all nations. He has been clear in that his actions will result in an economic decline temporarily, and I not only appreciate the transparency and honesty, but I am onboard with him evening out the playing field (especially with China). As for the crime side of things, in those same first three months, the FBI has already caught three of the top ten most wanted. Illegal immigration is not his only focus, he is not ignoring the other areas you mentioned, and apparently you simply refuse to see it (and/or you just don't like the fact he is the one actually doing something more substantial than his predecessors).
