WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 17: The U.S. Supreme Court is shown March 17, 2025 in Washington, DC. The Trump administration defied a federal judge’s court order this past weekend in a case related to the deportation of more than 200 alleged Tren de Aragua gang members to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1789.

Austin: It's an interesting conversation but maddening and concerning because it involves individuals who want to bring harm to citizens of The United States, and there's no doubt about that. The Alien Incursions Act, it's a 250 some odd-year-old act, almost 240-year-old act, that has been used by President Trump to deport any number of illegal aliens that he believes are involved in terror or terroristic plots and gang violence plots against The United States or its citizens.
It was a very interesting question given to one of the officials executing these orders. So exactly how old is this law? Why do we expect a law that's over 200 years old to have relevance in 2025?
And the gentleman answered back very rightfully so. How old is the constitution? Yeah. A little bit older than the Alien Incursions Act.
Bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, the president of The United States should only be answerable to the Supreme Court when it comes to these decisions. We don't have time. We don't have the ability to appeal or to answer every appeal at every level from mid-level federal judges who are ill-equipped to handle such information in cases.
If the president of The United States has declared a group of citizens pardon me, noncitizens, very important to say that, noncitizens, aliens, to be posing a threat to this country. He needs every tool at his disposal when he's trying to handle these individuals. And, again, if there's a court to be answered to, it should be straight to the Supreme Court, period. End of discussion.
These are very trying times. These are very scary times we're living in. We don't need mid-level bureaucratic judges questioning the president when he is literally acting as commander-in-chief and protecting the borders and the integrity of the borders of this country. End of conversation.
Appeal it to a court. Okay. Supreme Court only. Get it over and done with. Answer the question and move on. And that's the comment. I'm Austin Rhodes. 95.1 FM News Talk, WGAC.
