Vice President JD Vance is taking aim at federal judges who continue to block core elements of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies, accusing the judiciary of overriding the will of the American people. In a recent interview, Vance didn’t hold back, warning that the courts are “fundamentally betraying” the voters who elected leaders promising to secure the border.
“You cannot have a country where the American people keep electing immigration enforcement, and the courts tell them they’re not allowed to have what they voted for,” Vance said. His remarks come in response to a series of legal rulings that have halted various enforcement measures, including expedited deportations and tighter asylum regulations.

Vance emphasized that the administration remains committed to pushing its immigration agenda forward, despite repeated legal setbacks. “We’re going to keep working through the immigration courts, through the Supreme Court—whatever it takes,” he stated. According to Vance, success isn’t just about raw deportation numbers, but about building a solid legal foundation that can’t be overturned by activist judges.
He also criticized Chief Justice John Roberts, taking issue with the idea that courts should routinely serve as a check on executive action. “That’s a profoundly wrong sentiment,” Vance said. “What we’re seeing is a judiciary that’s acting as a political actor rather than a neutral interpreter of the law.”

Vance’s comments reflect growing frustration within the Trump administration over the legal resistance to its immigration crackdown. Time and again, courts have stepped in to block high-profile policies, arguing they overreach or violate statutory limits. But for Trump and Vance, those rulings represent a deeper problem: a judiciary that they believe is out of step with the people it’s supposed to serve.
Supporters argue that Trump’s immigration plans are grounded in law and backed by a clear electoral mandate. Critics counter that the administration is trying to bulldoze legal safeguards in the name of executive power. Either way, Vance’s statements make one thing clear—the fight over immigration isn’t just a policy battle, it’s a constitutional showdown.
As the administration gears up for further legal clashes, it’s betting that the Supreme Court—or a reshaped judiciary—will eventually clear the path for the enforcement the American people voted for.
