Federal Judges Block Deportations... Again

The Supreme Court decision stated that Trump could deport aliens under the Alien Enemies Act... but all people being held by the government have the right to file habeas corpus petitions questioning the basis for their detention.

So now would-be deportees are filing habeas writs, and judges are staying their deportation until the hearing.

This doesn't seem to have changed the game much, except that the left can't judge-shop to put every case in front of Boasberg in DC.

But there are plenty of activist judges out there, including in more conservative areas.

That doesn't mean the Supreme Court case didn't mean anything. Illegals can't argue against the validity of the law Trump is employing any longer. They may argue that the law is being misapplied to them, but they can't just say "This law is unconstitutional." They can only stay if they can establish a particular error in the application of the law to them.

As you may know, Elon Musk revealed that Biden gave Social Security numbers to millions of illegals.

Illegals used to be assigned ITINs, Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, so they could pay taxes.

Instead, Biden began issuing the Social Security numbers, which have been used off-brand for decades for purposes of claiming to be an American citizen.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is claiming that Social Security numbers were handed out last year to more than 2 million immigrants who entered the United States illegally and that those cards were subsequently used to collect benefits the migrants are not entitled to receive.

Musk, speaking at a weekend town hall meeting in Wisconsin, displayed data from a Social Security program called Enumeration Beyond Entry, which indicated that nearly 2.1 million migrants were given Social Security numbers in fiscal year 2024 alone.

That figure was a sharp increase from the 590,000 noncitizens who received Social Security numbers in fiscal year 2022 and the 964,000 who received them in 2023, EBE data showed. The Trump administration estimates that 11 million immigrants who crossed the border illegally are currently living in the U.S.

...

Musk and venture capitalist Antonio Gracias, who has been assisting the Department of Government Efficiency in examining the Social Security Administration, claim that the free-wheeling nature of how Social Security numbers are reportedly being given to migrants is an example of fraudulent activity within the SSA.

"This literally blew us away," Gracias said at the town hall. "We went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident."

...

Once authorized to legally work in the U.S., migrants are eligible to apply for a Social Security card. However, the agency stipulates that for non-U.S. citizens to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), they must have been granted a certain classification by the Department of Homeland Security.

Those classifications include:

Being legally admitted into the country as a permanent resident

Granted conditional entry or asylum

Paroled into the U.S. or admitted as a refugee

However, Gracias alleged that migrants were given Social Security numbers automatically through the mail without being interviewed or being required to show identification after applying for and receiving a work permit.

This particular program began under Trump:

The EBE program that distributes Social Security numbers to migrants with work authorizations began in 2017 during President Donald Trump's first White House term. The initiative was established as a partnership between the SSA and DHS to assist the SSA in efficiently issuing Social Security numbers to migrants who were deemed eligible.

The SSA's inspector general wrote in 2019 that the program allowed Homeland Security to vet the legal status of migrants who were eligible to work and then automatically issue them with Social Security numbers. As part of the process, migrants seeking Social Security numbers were required to provide proof of their legal status.

A SSA spokesperson did not immediately respond to an email from NewsNation seeking comment about the claims or the EBE data Thursday.

Musk said Sunday the issuance of the Social Security numbers was part of a "massive large-scale program" by the Biden administration to "import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of the United States and disenfranchise the American people and make it a permanent deep blue one-party system from which there would be no escape."

That is some useful context for this news: Trump has sent millions of illegals the message, through the app Biden developed to let illegals get permission to enter the US while they're waiting for their asylum trial, to get out of the US, now.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered migrants who received immigration parole under the Biden-era CBP One app to leave the United States "immediately." Since its inception in January 2023, more than 936,000 migrants have been granted immigration parole under the app.

"Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security," DHS officials said in response to an inquiry from the Associated Press. In an email to a Honduran migrant family who entered the U.S. in late 2024, DHS officials stated, "It's time for you to abandon the United States."

Other migrants reportedly shared their message from DHS on social media platforms. The notices were sent to migrants via the recently relaunched CBP Home app -- a re-engineered version of the CBP app designed to aid migrants in self-deportation. It is not clear at this time, how many of the nearly one million CBP One-admitted migrants will be impacted by the oreder.

In a statement on Monday, DHS officials said the Biden administration used immigration parole authority "more than any president since it was created in 1952. Officials said the use of CBP One to grant blanket paroles to migrants "further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history."
