Trump Suggests Supreme Court Is 'Illegally' Blocking His Lawless Deportations

Donald Trump is furious at the Supreme Court after it halted his efforts to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act without due process.

Trump is still seething at the Supreme Court for halting his efforts to deport immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act without due process

On Saturday, Trump shared a post on Truth Social from lawyer Mike Davis, one of his most extreme MAGA allies, claiming that the Supreme Court put “an illegal injunction on the president of the United States, preventing him from commanding military operations to expel these foreign terrorists.”

Davis added in the post that Trump “should house these terrorists near the Chevy Chase Country Club, with daytime release.” (Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh both live in Chevy Chase, Maryland.)

Trump shared another post from Davis complaining that the justices had blocked Trump from deporting undocumented immigrants “without years of court process.” The president wrote, “The Supreme Court must come to the RESCUE OF AMERICA.”

    I just need to check. Is Chevy Chase, Maryland named after the comedian or the other way around?

      From Wikipedia:

      The name is derived from Cheivy Chace, the name of the land patented to Colonel Joseph Belt from Charles Calvert, 5th Baron Baltimore, on July 10, 1725. It has historic associations with a 1388 chevauchée, a French word describing a border raid, fought by Lord Percy of England and Earl Douglas of Scotland over hunting grounds, or a “chace”, in the Cheviot Hills of Northumberland and Otterburn. The battle was memorialized in “The Ballad of Chevy Chase”.

      Chevy Chase [the actor] was named for his adoptive grandfather, Cornelius, while the nickname “Chevy” was bestowed by his grandmother from the medieval English ballad “The Ballad of Chevy Chase”. As a descendant of the Scottish Clan Douglas, she thought the name appropriate.

      Possible, his family called him Chevy short for Cornelius. Might have been a knowing joke on their part but ostensibly there is no connection.
