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.

      No, it always has been a conservative value. Conservatives started out as monarchists.
