President Trump Sounds Off After Judge Blocks Guard Deployment: 'Ought to Be Ashamed' Washington, October 6, 2025 — President Donald Trump sharply criticized a federal judge on Sunday after a ruling blocked his administration’s plan to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to several southern border states, calling the decision “a disgrace” and saying the judge “ought to be ashamed.” The injunction, issued late Saturday by U.S. District Judge Karen Delgado in Washington, temporarily halts the president’s emergency order authorizing state-level deployments to counter what Trump described as “a national security and humanitarian crisis” along the U.S.-Mexico border. “This is another terrible decision by an activist judge,” Trump told reporters outside the White House before departing for Florida. “We are protecting the United States. We are protecting our people. That judge ought to be ashamed for putting politics before safety.” The president’s order, announced last week, called for up to 5,000 National Guard troops to be sent to reinforce federal immigration enforcement efforts in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. The deployment was intended to assist in surveillance, logistics, and anti-trafficking operations amid a surge of migrants entering through the southern border in recent months. Judge Delgado’s ruling followed an emergency petition from a coalition of immigrant rights groups and state officials who argued that Trump’s action violated federal limits on the domestic use of military forces. In her 48-page opinion, Delgado said the administration had failed to demonstrate a clear legal justification for bypassing Congress. “The Constitution does not grant the president unlimited authority to mobilize military forces for domestic enforcement without proper statutory authorization,” Delgado wrote. “The balance of powers must be preserved.” Within hours of the ruling, the Trump administration filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. White House counsel Stephen Miller said the decision “endangers national security” and vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary. “This ruling is outrageous,” Miller said in a statement. “President Trump is doing what Congress refuses to do, protect American citizens. The administration will fight this in every court until our borders are secure.” In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott strongly backed the president’s order, calling the court’s ruling “an assault on the right of states to defend themselves.” He announced that Texas would continue to mobilize its own National Guard units and law enforcement agencies to secure the border. “The federal courts can issue opinions, but Texas will act,” Abbott said during a press briefing in Austin. “President Trump is right, the situation at our border is a national emergency.” Critics of the deployment praised the judge’s ruling as a victory for constitutional oversight. Civil rights advocates said Trump’s actions overstepped his legal authority and risked militarizing civilian areas. “This decision is a win for democracy and the rule of law,” said Andrea Morales, executive director of the Border Rights Coalition. “The president cannot use the military to advance political goals or intimidate migrant communities.” The legal fight highlights the ongoing power struggle between the Trump administration and the federal judiciary, which has repeatedly clashed over immigration enforcement, emergency declarations, and executive privilege. Legal scholars say the case could redefine the limits of presidential authority under the International Emergency Powers Act. “This is about far more than border policy,” said Dr. Melissa Grant, a constitutional law professor at Columbia University. “It is about whether the courts will reaffirm their role as a check on presidential power or defer to executive claims of national emergency.” The White House has defended the deployment as both constitutional and necessary, pointing to rising migrant encounters and cartel activity along the southern border. According to Department of Homeland Security data, more than 290,000 attempted crossings were recorded in September alone, the highest in nearly four years. Trump’s tough rhetoric and uncompromising stance have energized his supporters, who view his border policies as key to restoring law and order. At a rally in Phoenix last week, Trump vowed to “end the border invasion once and for all,” pledging to complete new sections of the wall and expand federal enforcement powers. “The American people elected me to take decisive action,” Trump said at the rally. “We will not allow open borders, human trafficking, or drugs pouring into our communities. This judge’s ruling changes nothing, we will win this fight.” Political analysts say Trump’s reaction fits a familiar pattern of confronting judicial resistance head-on, a strategy that resonates with his base but raises questions about institutional norms. “This is Trump doubling down on executive strength,” said political analyst Jonathan Miles. “He is framing the courts as obstacles to national security, which keeps his supporters engaged and his opponents defensive.” As the legal process moves forward, National Guard units remain on standby, awaiting further orders. Officials in several states have begun contingency planning should the appeal be successful, with Pentagon coordination expected if the ruling is overturned. For now, the standoff underscores the deep divisions over immigration, presidential authority, and the role of the courts in modern governance. With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, the political stakes are only growing higher. “We will fight this decision, and we will win,” Trump said late Sunday. “Our duty is to defend America, and that is exactly what we are going to do.” US
