In a serious blow to the Trump administration and in what many people may view as an ungrateful act, Justice Neil Gorsuch -- Trump's only appointee to the Supreme Court -- provided the decisive vote today (April 17, 2018) in the court's ruling to strike down a key provision that made it easier to deport immigrants convicted of violent crimes, according to the Fox News website.
Gorsuch has mostly sided with conservative members of the Supreme Court since his appointment a year ago, but in a surprise stance sided with the liberal wing today.
In response to today's Supreme Court ruling, President Trump tweeted: "Today's Court decision means that Congress must close loopholes that block the removal of dangerous criminal aliens, including aggravated felons... from our society. Keep America Safe!"
In its 5-4 decision, the court said the part of the law in question was "too vague" to be enforced.
