President Donald Trump on Friday slammed the Supreme Court in a post on social media, after it blocked the administration from deporting two allegedly illegal migrants in Texas through the Alien Enemies Act. 

The high court, in a 7-2 split, granted a temporary injunction for the two allegedly illegal Venezuelan migrants, who are accused of being members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. The unsigned order sent the case back to a lower court.

Trump accused the Supreme Court of not letting him send "criminals" out of the country in a series of posts on Truth Social, and claimed the order will allow more illegal migrants to flood across the U.S. border.

"The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug dealers, gang members, and even those who are mentally insane, who came into our Country illegally, are not allowed to be forced out without going through a long, protracted, and expensive Legal Process," Trump wrote in one post. 

The president said the legal process would take years for each person and, meanwhile, give those illegal migrants the opportunity to "commit many crimes before they even see the inside of a Courthouse." 

"The result of this decision will let more CRIMINALS pour into our Country, doing great harm to our cherished American public," Trump continued. "It will also encourage other criminals to illegally enter our Country, wreaking havoc and bedlam wherever they go. The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do."

The commander-in-chief, who has made border security one of his top concerns, said the flood of illegal migrants came into the country without any kind of real "process," but now will require a "long process" to get them out.

"This is a bad and dangerous day for America!" He concluded.

Trump also thanked Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas for their dissents.
