Summary
Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Supreme Court’s three liberal justices to co-sign key parts of Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s blistering dissent in a 5-4 ruling allowing Trump to resume deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members.
The four female justices warned the deportations could “have life or death consequences” for detainees sent to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison without judicial review.
Right-wing figures erupted, branding Barrett a “DEI hire” and “disgraceful.”
Influencers like Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk accused her of betraying conservative values despite past praise.
Just to be clear, this was after she voted to block some DOGE stuff; they’re not claiming that wanting to keep people from being deported on flimsy justifications with no due process is a betrayal of “conservative values” (yet).
