Summary

Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Supreme Courtā€™s three liberal justices to co-sign key parts of Justice Sonia Sotomayorā€™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 Salvadorā€™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.

    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; theyā€™re not claiming that wanting to keep people from being deported on flimsy justifications with no due process is a betrayal of ā€œconservative valuesā€ (yet).
