The Spin
Republican narrative
The Supreme Court's ruling upholds presidential authority to secure borders and protect national security. The administration carefully vetted the deportees as verified gang members, and Monday's ruling allows the president to use necessary tools to combat criminal organizations threatening American safety.
Democratic narrative
The administration's rushed deportations denied basic due process rights and may have mistakenly targeted innocent individuals. The government's actions represent an abuse of a wartime law never intended for immigration enforcement during peacetime.
