Constitutional Crisis Looms, Say Critics, as Trump Press Secretary Claims Trump Can Arrest Supreme Court Justice.

The news as it trends.

Critics are sounding alarms over what they describe as an unprecedented constitutional crisis after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested that Supreme Court justices could face arrest for interfering with federal immigration enforcement.

The remarks came during a press briefing when Leavitt was asked about the administration’s stance on judicial intervention in immigration matters.

Her response, deferring to the Department of Justice while not ruling out the possibility of arrests, has sparked widespread controversy, particularly on social media, with experts and critics alike raising concerns about the administration’s respect for judicial independence.

This controversy follows a series of actions by the administration that critics argue demonstrate an overreach of executive power.

From invoking the rarely used Enemies Alien Act to deport individuals without due process, to arresting immigration judges one by one using immigration as an excuse, with no opportunity for the judges themselves to be heard during their arrests, the administration has faced mounting backlash.

In some cases, judges arrested were placed in handcuffs with cameras ready to film.

Based on the administration’s repeated violations of Supreme Court orders, the situation escalated further after the Supreme Court unanimously ruled 9-0 against the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man who was illegally deported to El Salvador.

Despite the ruling, the administration has continued to push its aggressive immigration policies and refused to yield to court orders to facilitate his return to the U.S.

Legal experts emphasize that the judiciary has the constitutional authority to review and rule on the legality of executive actions, including immigration orders.

The suggestion of arresting judges, including Supreme Court justices, has been described as a direct threat to the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary—cornerstones of American democracy.

The administration’s actions and Leavitt’s remarks today have ignited a fierce debate about the limits of presidential power and the potential erosion of constitutional safeguards.

Critics warn that such moves could set a dangerous precedent, creating a pathway to a regime never seen in American history, with a sitting president openly violating court orders without pushback.

This, according to legal luminaries interviewed for this report, could undermine the balance of power between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
