Jonathan Turley says SCOTUS may be about to hand Trump an 'enormous' win

President Donald Trump has faced no shortage of legal challenges, with federal courts having ruled against his administration more than 190 times since he came to office in January.

However, one legal expert recently suggested that Trump could be on the verge of winning a major victory at the Supreme Court. 

Law professor says "enormous" decision may soon come

According to Fox News, that idea was put forward on Tuesday by George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

Turley noted that the Supreme Court is expected to rule this week on the ability of federal district courts to impose binding nationwide injunctions.

While the case in question concerns an executive order which sought to strip birthright citizenship from the children of illegal aliens, Turley argued that it has "enormous" implications beyond the matter at hand.

"For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, 'Enough. We're not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this," Turley told "Fox & Friends."

Supreme Court ruled in deportation case on Tuesday

The legal scholar also highlighted an earlier legal victory that America's highest body handed the Trump administration on Tuesday.

In a six-to-three decision, the Supreme Court found that the federal government can deport illegal aliens to countries other than the ones from which they originated.

The controversy arose when the White House attempted to send a group of convicted criminals to South Sudan after their home nations refused to accept them.

The deportees included five foreign citizens who had served prison sentences for homicide along with two individuals who were found guilty of child sex crimes.

Turley: Supreme Court agreed that ICE "is not a travel agency"

"The lower court judge said that, 'You're sending these people to countries that you've advised Americans to leave because of the violence,'" Turley explained.

"But ICE is saying, 'Look, there's a reason why their home countries don't want them. Countries are not clamoring to get more felons to augment their home population, and that's not our fault," he continued.

"It's your fault. You committed crimes here, and you are deportable, and we're not a travel agency, so if your home country doesn't want you, then we're going to find the next best option,'" the law professor went on to add.
