A recent Rasmussen Reports poll reveals that a staggering 45 percent of Americans believe federal judges are attempting to thwart President Donald Trump’s election mandate. This eye-opening statistic comes from surveying 1,115 likely voters and showcases a growing discontent with the judiciary’s overreach in the political arena. While 60 percent of respondents don’t advocate for ignoring federal court injunctions outright, the underlying message is clear: Americans are fed up with the continual meddling of judges who seem less interested in upholding the Constitution and more in obstructing a president elected to manage the nation’s border security.
As Trump’s team ramps up its legal efforts, pushing cases toward the U.S. Supreme Court, there is an increasing expectation that justices will recognize the president’s broad constitutional authority over immigration. Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s key advisors on immigration, recently pointed out that the framing of immigration issues in both courts and the media wrongly depicts them as routine civil matters. To say the nation has simply been experiencing a civil enforcement situation is as absurd as calling a hurricane a slight breeze; America is facing an invasion, and the voters made their choice clear when they voted for Trump.
Democrat judges and politicians are defying federal law to create sanctuaries for illegal alien criminals and terrorists.
They are endangering the whole Republic.

This isn’t about ignoring the rule of law; it’s about adhering to its true meaning. Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution explicitly states that the president must defend against invasions. Yet, more than 14 judges have blocked Trump’s efforts to enforce deportation programs, including a recent ruling that would allow migrants to appeal their deportations to countries other than their own—a legal maneuver that could turn the deportation process into a logistical nightmare. Judges strutting around like they’re the real bosses of the country only fuels the frustrations of those who voted for a real change.
Meanwhile, pro-migration advocates argue that the legal hurdles in place are merely guarding the due process rights of immigrants. This sounds suspiciously like the same old song: defending the rights of those who willingly entered the country illegally while largely ignoring the rights of American citizens who demand security and order. Critics like former immigration lawyer David Leopold suggest that Trump’s measures threaten broader rights, yet they conveniently overlook the fact that paying respect to the Constitution and citizens’ rights is what any responsible government should prioritize.
Rasmussen’s findings underscore a disconnect in public opinion. While some voters are apprehensive about a potential constitutional crisis stemming from Trump’s confrontations with federal judges, there’s also significant support for deportation efforts, particularly among swing voters and Republicans—the very folks who represent the backbone of America’s productive sectors. A notable 58 percent of American adults endorse Trump’s push to identify and deport illegal immigrants, with impressive backing from various demographic groups, including 69 percent of white non-college-educated voters.
In the face of judicial obstructionism, Trump’s supporters remain steadfast, clinging to the belief that they elected a president to uphold national security and deliver on his promises. As poll results highlight the intricate dance Americans are performing between a desire for constitutional integrity and the chaotic influx of migrants brought in under Biden’s administration, it’s evident that a majority continues to crave decisive action. The legal bickering simply illustrates the broader struggle between a populace yearning for order and a judiciary that appears to operate outside the bounds of common sense.
