Washington, DC– Today, in a deeply anti-immigrant ruling, President Trump’s MAGA justices on the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency order severely limiting the ability of people who are disappeared to challenge these actions in court. 

In response, Demand Justice Interim Executive Director Maggie Jo Buchanan released the following statement: 

“This obscene ruling is one more painful proof point that shows what we’ve known for years: this is Donald Trump’s Supreme Court, and his MAGA justices are there to serve him, not the people – and certainly not the rule of law. 

“While the MAGA justices validate ignoring clear cut orders, innocent immigrants are being deported left and right with little to no cause; even a tattoo of a watch marking the time of your daughter’s birth is apparently cause for suspicion. 

“This cannot stand. Demand Justice wholeheartedly condemns this gross abuse of power by the Trump administration, and the spineless, servile court that has allowed it to continue.”
