President Donald Trump has questioned judges who block deportations of individuals deemed 'criminals', including murderers, after a Trump-appointed judge blocked the administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act. The ruling was made by U.S. District Court Judge Fernando Rodriguez in a case brought against the Department of Homeland Security. The act allows for the deportation of non-citizens who are deemed enemies of the United States. Trump has criticized the decision, with one of his appointees drawing criticism from the President.
