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 ā€œhave life or death consequencesā€ for detainees sent to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison without judicial review.

Right-wing figures erupted, branding Barrett a ā€œDEI hireā€ and ā€œdisgraceful.ā€

Influencers like Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk accused her of betraying conservative values despite past praise.

    Another DEI hire.

    They will not be satisfied until the only people allowed to earn a living or have any power are straight white cis men. It’s becoming blatantly obvious they don’t give a shit about ā€œmeritā€. Woman/minority/LGBT = DEI no matter how they got there. They could have every qualification in the world and it wouldn’t be enough to avoid the DEI label.

      Wrong. This is fascism, there must always be another enemy. Cis white men will eventually become the ā€œwrong kindā€ of cis white men. They will one day be labeled ā€œimpureā€, and find themselves under the barrel

        Yep. If they somehow were left with only cis white men, they’d redefine cis, white, or man to divide the remaining people.
