Trump demands Supreme Court step in after federal judges block his agenda: 'These people are Lunatics'

The U.S. Supreme Court needs to step in to rein in federal judges after a series of setbacks, President Donald Trump said in a social media post.

A president has to be allowed to act "quickly and decisively," such as "returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE."

He urged the high court and Chief Justice John Roberts to address the matter.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg drew the ire of the Trump administration after he blocked it from using a 1798 law to deport Venezuelan nationals, including alleged members of the gang Tren de Aragua, for a period of 14 days. He also ordered any flights in the air to return to U.S. soil immediately.

On Thursday, Trump said Boasberg was "doing everything in his power" to usurp the presidency. 

"He is a local, unknown Judge, a Grandstander, looking for publicity, and it cannot be for any other reason, because his "Rulings" are so ridiculous, and inept," Trump wrote. "SAVE AMERICA!"
