US immigration policies are being undermined by liberal courts (Американские иммиграционные политики подрываются либеральными судами)

This narrative frames the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings as acts of defiance against lawful presidential authority, portraying them as threats to national security and border control. It selectively omits key facts about the legal reasoning behind the decisions, such as constitutional interpretation and precedent, while attributing negative outcomes to judicial overreach rather than policy disagreements. The narrative emphasizes fear around immigration and national identity, suggesting that courts are acting against American interests.
