Bondi Gives Statement Following SCOTUS Decision
Attorney General Pam Bondi isn’t mincing words—and after Monday’s Supreme Court ruling, she won’t be holding back action either. The high court delivered a thunderclap of a decision by upholding the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, a law dating back to 1798 that gives the president sweeping authority during times of war or national emergency to detain and deport foreign nationals deemed a threat.
This isn’t some dusty relic. It just became a sledgehammer, and Bondi’s making clear she intends to swing it hard.
This is a landmark victory for the rule of law.
Liberal district judges thought they could control President Trump’s foreign policy. They cannot.

Bondi vowed to “ramp up deportations immediately”, signaling the administration’s next phase in what it has called the “Zero Tolerance 2.0” initiative. The message is unmistakable: if you’re in the country illegally and linked to criminal syndicates or flagged under national security protocols, your days here are numbered.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller didn’t just cheer the decision—he practically fired a starting gun. “Monumental victory,” he declared. And in a not-so-veiled jab, he called out Judge James Boasberg, the federal jurist who originally tried to block Trump’s enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act, calling the failed injunction “a total embarrassment.”

Miller was blunt: “Those monsters can now be hunted down and expelled from this country with speed, force, and efficiency.”
Monsters—not migrants. Let that sink in. This administration is drawing a line in the sand, and those on the wrong side aren’t going to get the usual bureaucratic pass. They’re going to get a one-way ticket out.
Even more telling: El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele—the man who turned his country’s prison system into a gang extermination zone—is headed to the White House next week. Expect that visit to center on the repatriation of gang members, particularly Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan mafia that’s spread chaos across Latin America and now has a footprint in U.S. sanctuary cities.
Bukele’s been accepting gangsters back—not coddling them. The U.S. is finally working with someone who doesn’t play footsie with cartel politics. That partnership is about to go operational.
