Justice Amy Coney Barrett Sparks MAGA Backlash for Liberals' Ruling

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by former President Trump, faced backlash from MAGA Republicans after she joined the court's liberal justices in dissenting against the majority ruling that allowed the Trump administration to deport alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. While the Supreme Court's decision upheld deportations, it mandated that individuals must have the opportunity to contest their removal. Barrett's dissent, which aligned her with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, has led to accusations from conservative commentators who feel betrayed by her stance. Critics on social media expressed their outrage, labeling Barrett as untrustworthy and a mistake in Trump's judicial appointments. Despite this, Trump celebrated the majority ruling as a victory for justice. The controversy highlights Barrett's complex position as a centrist on a politically divided Supreme Court.
