'LAWFARE': Trump hit with wave of injunctions blocking orders

LOTS TO COME ALL DAY ON FOX. HERE SHE IS. >> Harris: WE BEGIN WITH THIS FOX NEWS ALERT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS STANDING STRONG AGAINST THE GROWING LIST OF LAWFARE, LIBERAL LAWSUITS AGAINST HIM. ONE OF THE FIGHTS IS OVER HIS EFFORT TO DEPORT HUNDREDS OF ALLEGED VENEZUELAN GANG MEMBERS, THE WORST OF THE WORST. MANY CONVICTED OF VIOLENT CRIMES AND HERE ILLEGALLY.

I'M HARRIS FAULKNER AND YOU ARE IN "THE FAULKNER FOCUS. " JUDGE JAMES BOASBERG GAVE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT UNTIL NOON EASTERN TODAY. HE LIKES THE NOON DEADLINES.

OKAY. ANYWAY, HE WANTS THE D. O.

J. TO HAND OVER MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE DEPORTATIONS AND HE IS THE SAME JUDGE WHO ORDERED THOSE PLANES TO TURN AROUND IN THE SKY AFTER THEY LEFT THE U. S.

THE PRESIDENT DID NOT HOLD BACK. >> President Trump: HE ACTUALLY SAID WE SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TAKE CRIMINALS, KILLERS, MURDERERS, THE WORST PEOPLE, GANG MEMBERS, GANG LEADERS, THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THEM OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. THAT'S A PRESIDENTIAL JOB, NOT FOR A LOCAL JUDGE TO BE MAKING THAT DETERMINATION.

>> Harris: ALL RIGHT. HE ALSO POSTED THIS. IF A PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO THROW MURDERERS AND OTHER CRIMINALS OUT OF THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF A RADICAL LEFT LUNATIC JUDGE WANTS TO ASSUME THE ROLE OF PRESIDENT, THEN OUR COUNTRY IS IN VERY BIG TROUBLE AND DESTINED TO FAIL.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN TIM BURCHETT THREW HIS SUPPORT BEHIND THE PRESIDENT. >> I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP. I THINK IT IS A COMPLETE OVERREACH BY THIS JUDGE.

I THINK IT IS POLITICAL OVERREACH BY THE LEFT. THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR BY THESE COUNTRIES. THESE PEOPLE COME ACROSS OUR BORDER ILLEGALLY.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF 14 MILLION PEOPLE SWARMED THE BORDER AT ONE TIME? YET IT WAS SPREAD OUT OVER FOUR YEARS. 14 MILLION PEOPLE.

WOULDN'T YOU CONSIDER THAT AN UNLAWFUL INVASION? IT'S AN ACT OF WAR. >> Harris: I'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO SOMETHING.

THIS IS SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT JACKUI HINRICH. YOU HEARD HIM SAY THIS. THE NUMBER HAS CREPT UP.

NOW THEY'RE REACHING OUT, JACKUI AND FINDING OUT HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE CAME ACROSS OUR BORDER UNVETTED. SOME VIOLENT. IT IS AMAZING HOW FAR AWAY WE WERE FROM THE TRUTH APPARENTLY, JACKUI.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. TO THAT POINT, HARRIS, THE ADMINISTRATION IS NOT BARRED FROM USING THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT TO CONTINUE TO DO THESE DEPORTATIONS BUT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY THE COURT BEFORE THEY USE IT IN THE FUTURE. ANYWAY, THE ADMINISTRATION HAS UNTIL NOON TODAY TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC MOVEMENTS THAT PLANE MADE REJECTING THE CLAIM THAT THE JUDGE'S ORDERS DID NOT CARRY ANY FORCE ONCE THAT PLANE WAS OUTSIDE U.

S. TERRITORY. PRESIDENT TRUMP CLEARLY NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT HE SEES AS THE JUDGE'S EFFORT TO OVERRIDE HIS PRESIDENTIAL AUTHORITY.

BUT HE WAS MAKING CLEAR LAST NIGHT HE WILL OPERATE WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE LAW. >> WOULD YOU DEFY A COURT ORDER? WE ALL KNOW THAT -- >> President Trump: I NEVER DID DEFY A COURT ORDER.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT. HOWEVER, YOU HAVE BAD JUDGES. WE HAVE VERY BAD JUDGES AND THESE ARE JUDGES THAT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED.

I THINK AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU HAVE TO START LOOKING WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE A ROGUE JUDGE. THE JUDGE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU LOOK AT HIS OTHER RULINGS. RULINGS UNRELATED BUT HAVING TO DO WITH ME, HE IS A LUNATIC.

>> YESTERDAY HE CALLED FOR JUDGE BOASBERG'S IMPEACHMENT. IN A RARE STATEMENT, THOUGH, SUPREME COURT JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS PUSHED BACK SAYING FOR MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES IT HAS BEEN STOPPED IMPEACHMENT IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE CONCERNING A A JUDICIARY DECISION. PRESIDENT TRUMP DIDN'T TAKE THAT STATEMENT PERSONALLY.

>> President Trump: HE DIDN'T MENTION MY NAME IN THE STATEMENT. HE DIDN'T MENTION MY NAME. MANY PEOPLE HAVE CALLED FOR HIS IMPEACHMENT.

THE IMPEACHMENT OF THIS JUDGE. >> THESE ALLEGED TDA GANGSTERS WERE SENT TO A SUPERMAX PRISON IN EL SALVADOR. RUBIO SAID THERE WOULD BE MORE SANCTIONS ON THE MADURO REGIME IF VENEZUELA DOESN'T ACCEPT THEIR CITIZENS.

THERE ARE MANY GANG MEMBERS LIKELY PLACED INTO REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS IF THEY'RE TRANSFERRED INTO THEIR CUSTODY. >> Harris: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. KATIE CHERKOWSKI IS WITH ME.

YOU HEARD FROM THAT REPORT THE ALIEN ENEMY ACT IS NOT BANNING SENDING THESE BAD GUYS BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS TEAM JUST HAVE TO NOTIFY THE COURT. WHY?

>> EVEN THAT REQUIREMENT SEEMS LIKE A BIT OF AN OVERREACH BY THE JUDGE. THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT IS ESSENTIALLY A UNILATERAL POWER OF THE PRESIDENT TO REMOVE PEOPLE WHO FALL UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THAT ACT AS ACCORDING TO THE PRESIDENT FROM OUR COUNTRY. IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE SUPREME COURT HAS LOOKED AT AND SAID THAT THE COURTS DO NOT HAVE ANY SORT OF POWER TO SECOND GUESS.

THERE ARE ONLY FROM MY READING OF THE SUPREME COURT'S PREVIOUS INTERPRETATIONS OF THIS ONLY SOME LIMITED QUESTIONS THAT A COURT CAN ASK REGARDING THE JURISDICTION AND WHETHER SOMEBODY FALLS WITHIN THE DESIGNATED GROUP. CERTAINLY THIS IS A NATION FALL SECURITY ISSUE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND THE PRESIDENT HAS THAT AUTHORITY. >> Harris: WE ARE DOING SOMETHING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DIDN'T BOTHER TO DO.

WE VET THE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY SEND THEM OUT. THEY DIDN'T VET THE PEOPLE COMING IN. SOMETHING WE KNOW IS HAPPENING AND HOW WE KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THESE GUYS.

FACE RECOGNITION, THEY ARE WORKING AGAINST PEOPLE TRYING TO HELP THEM SO THEY HAVE TO GO INTO COMMUNITIES, DO ALL THAT GREAT LAW ENFORCEMENT. YOU KNOW, BANDING UP OF AGENCIES. IF ALL THAT WORK IS BEING DONE TO ROUND THESE GUYS UP WHY CAN'T THE JUDGE LOOK AT THE FILE AND SAY A THROUGH F, THOSE GUYS NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.

MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES A DISTRICT COURT JUDGE TRIM THE POWERS OF A UNITED STATES PRESIDENT WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING OUT PEOPLE WHO ARE DANGEROUS TO THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY? >> I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. THIS JUDGE -- >> IT IS A QUESTION.

>> THE JUDGE OVERSTEPPED HIS BOUNDS BUT THEY CAN'T DO THAT. BUT THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE THE CASE STARTS AT THE LOWER LEVEL HERE, THIS JUDGE IS SAYING THIS PARTICULAR LAW, THE ALIEN ENEMIES ACT NEVER USED TO TARGET A SPECIFIED GROUP, JUST AGAINST CITIZENS OF COUNTRIES AGAINST WHOM WE'VE BEEN AT WAR AND SO THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT DOES THIS ACTUALLY APPLY HERE VERSUS IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE ILLEGALLY, EVEN CRIMINALS, THERE IS IMMIGRATION PROCESSES AND DUE PROCESS THAT IS REQUIRED TO GET A REMOVAL ORDER. THEY CAN'T BE SUMMARILY REMOVED.

UNDER THE ALIEN ENEMIES' ACT THE PRESIDENT CAN ORDER THEIR REMOVAL WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. THAT'S THE GRIPE. THEY AREN'T GETTING DUE PROCESS EVEN IF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE THAT THEY ARE CRIMINALS.

>> Harris: DON'T MISUNDERSTAND I'M NOT PUSHING AGAINST WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. THIS IS NOT MY OPINION BUT FACT AND COMMON SENSE. HE IS THE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND BECAUSE A DISTRICT COURT JUDGE SAYS HE HAS NEVER SEEN IT APPLIED THIS WAY, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I HAVEN'T SEEN BUT DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T STAND.

>> THAT'S THE BIG PICTURE PROBLEM HERE. YOU HAVE THE UNPRECEDENTED SITUATIONS AND YOU COULD INTERPRET THE LAW ONE WAY OR THE OTHER TO DEFER TO THE EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY AND YOU CHOOSE TO RESIST THE AGENDA, TO RESIST PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ACTIONS, YOU ARE UNDERMINING THAT. FOR WHAT?

TO KEEP THESE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY? IT IS ABSURD AT THE END OF THE DAY. >> Harris: I WISH YOU WERE IN THE COURTROOM TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS? WHAT IS YOUR GOAL. >> TO PROTECT DUE PROCESS FOR THESE PEOPLE WHEN THE SAME PEOPLE AREN'T IN FAVOR OF THAT LIKE WITH A ME TOO CRIME.

THE HYPOCRISY IS OVERWHELMING. >> Harris: THE NUMBERS TELL THE STORY OF THE DELUGE OF LIBERAL LAWFARE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. YOU JUST HEARD KATIE SAYING IT.

IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT IS REALLY OBVIOUS. FEWER THAN TWO MONTHS JUDGES HAVE FILED 15 INJUNCTIONS HALTING TRUMP POLICIES. THAT IS MORE THAN PRESIDENT BIDEN'S ENTIRE FOUR-YEAR TERM AND BOTH PRESIDENT OBAMA AND GEORGE W.

BUSH'S TERMS. THEY WERE IN OFFICE FOR EIGHT YEARS EACH. PRESIDENT TRUMP ALSO FACED A WHOPPING 64 INJUNCTIONS IN HIS FIRST TERM.

THREE OF THOSE CAME NOW AGAIN IN THIS ONE JUST YESTERDAY. ONE INDEFINITELY BLOCKED TRUMP'S ORDER BANNING TRANSGENDER PEOPLE FROM SERVING OPENLY IN THE U. S.

MILITARY. ANOTHER STOPPED THE EPA'S ATTEMPT TO END $14 BILLION WORTH OF GRANTS TO CLIMATE GROUPS. A THIRD HALTED THE ADMINISTRATION'S EFFORTS TO DISMANTLE USAID IN THE PUSH TO CUT WASTE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO STOP. >> President Trump: LOOK AT THE FRAUD THAT WE'VE CAUGHT. WE'VE CAUGHT SO MUCH FRAUD.

SO MUCH WASTE. SO MANY EMPLOYEES THAT NEVER SHOWED UP TO WORK. I GUARANTEE WE'LL BE APPEALING IT.

WE HAVE ROGUE JUDGES THAT ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. >> Harris: KATIE, IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. LOOK, I KNOW YOU ARE-IN-LAW.

YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK OF JUDGES NOT BEING FAIR BUT THEY'RE NOT. >> WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO INTERPRET IN A WAY THAT FURTHERS THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA OR NOT AND YOU ARE MAKING THE CHOICE TO RESIST AND MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE THESE NOBLE GOALS. LIKE THE COURTS ARE SAYING YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON WASTEFUL THINGS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT NOTHING TO DO THIS.

YOU MUST GIVE FOREIGN AID TO ALL THESE OTHER PLACES INSTEAD OF TAKING CARE OF THINGS HERE. A LOT OF THESE JUDGES LOSE SIGHT OF THE FOREST FOR THE TREES. THERE IS THE QUESTION OF A PRESIDENT'S AUTHORITY WHETHER STATUTORILY OR CONSTITUTIONALLY DERIVED AND LOOK AT THAT IN CERTAIN CASES.

THERE ARE PROCESSES TO GO THROUGH. BUT WHEN THERE IS VALID INTERPRETATION THAT FURTHERS THE EXECUTIVE'S AUTHORITY IT NEEDS TO BE RESPECTED. >> Harris: IF THE JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS IF -- THE ACLU IS EVEN GETTING INVOLVED AT ONE POINT WITH THE MAHMOUD KHALIL SITUATION, THE PROTESTOR WITH GROUPS ALIGNED WITH HAMAS AND HE WAS LEADING THE CONFLICT.

YOU HAVE IT COMING FROM EVERY ANGLE. YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE POLITICS OF THIS. WHOSE SIDE ARE THE LAWFARE PUSHERS ON?

IT IS LIKE A DRUG FOR THEM. >> YEAH, WITH THE KHALIL SITUATION NOW THEY LOVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT. WHEN ANYBODY SPOKE OUT AGAINST COVID THEY LOST THEIR JOBS AND LIVELIHOODS.

THE PICKING AND CHOOSING OF THE LAW TO FURTHER THAT PURPOSE. THAT IS LAWFARE BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY INCONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD HERE. EVERYTHING IS MEANT TO UNDERMINE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S AGENDA.

>> Harris: ONE TARGET, AS YOU SAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP. IT IS NOT EVEN ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THESE DECISIONS DON'T KEEP US SAFE.
