President Trump demanded that Venezuela accept “prisoners and people from mental institutions” that are in the United States.

“We want Venezuela to immediately accept all of the prisoners, and people from mental institutions, which includes the Worst in the World Insane Asylums, that Venezuelan ‘Leadership’ has forced into the United States of America,” he wrote on Truth Social Saturday.

“Thousands of people have been badly hurt, and even killed, by these ‘Monsters,’ he wrote, adding all caps, “Get them the hell out of our country, right now, or the price you pay will be incalculable.”

The Trump administration Friday asked the Supreme Court to end protections for Venezuelans in the U.S. Over 300,000 migrants from Venezuela have been granted Temporary Protection Status, which stops them from being deported and allows them to get work permits and apply for some taxpayer benefits.

The case has been batted around the courts for months, and the justices previously blocked a district court preliminary injunction that had ordered the president to keep the Temporary Protected Status program running.

After that high court intervention, Judge Edward Chen, an Obama appointee to the court in California, returned with a new ruling — this time a summary judgment — against the Trump administration, again ordering it to keep the deportation amnesty program running.

He said the high court’s previous blockade only applied to the preliminary injunction.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer said that amounted to “disregarding” the Supreme Court’s ruling, which had found the government was likely to prevail in the case.

He said Judge Chen’s do-over ignores that.

“The district court’s new order expressly rests on the same flawed legal grounds as its predecessor—the one this court stayed,” he said.

The administration has been trying to end the TPS designation for Venezuelans for months, but immigration groups slam the move as racist and illegal. Judge Chen agreed with the groups’ notion and said it tainted the proceedings.

TPS was created by Congress in 1990 to stop deportations of nationals to countries that are facing conflict, natural disaster or other extraordinary humanitarian conditions. The temporary protection is supposed to last until it is safe for the country to be returned to.
