I enter the following link concerning Executive Branch authority by past practice and current law in deporting illegals. These are powers granted either by the Constitution or by laws passed by congress which are executed through the Executive Branch of Government.

However those power are always reviewed by Judges.and under their jurisdiction.
By your statement, would that not make the Judicial Branch superior to the Executive Branch and Legislative Branch of Government? That is not the way the Constitution was instituted. Each of the three branches had powers assigned to them. And in fact, the Judicial Branch was the Article III Branch and only a couple of pages long in the Constitution. These judges cannot enter into areas reserved for the Executive Branch which is now run by President Trump, just because they and you do not want the criminal illegals deported from the country.
When it comes to Constitution the SCOTUS is the final arbiter. Jay Jay made that clear.
Who says that SCOTUS has the last word?
Where in the constitution are they granted that dictatorial authority?
The constitution itself is the supreme law of the land, not any one court or branch.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall says so,
" landmark decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court served to confirm the inferred constitutional authority for judicial review in the United States. In 1796, Hylton v. United States was the first case decided by the Supreme Court involving a direct challenge to the constitutionality of an act of Congress, the Carriage Act of 1794 which imposed a "carriage tax".[2] The Court performed judicial review of the plaintiff's claim that the carriage tax was unconstitutional. After review, the Supreme Court decided the Carriage Act was constitutional. In 1803, Marbury v. Madison[3] was the first Supreme Court case where the Court asserted its authority to strike down a law as unconstitutional. At the end of his opinion in this decision,[4] Chief Justice John Marshall maintained that the Supreme Court's responsibility to overturn unconstitutional legislation was a necessary consequence of their sworn oath of office to uphold the Constitution as instructed in Article Six of the Constitution." wiki
The only non elected branch of government unilaterally decided it is the sole arbiter of the scope of the Constitution. That decision is only effective as long as the other two branches acquiesce. The moment that the Executive or Legislative branch decides otherwise, that unilateral decision fails.
Period. End of sentence.
FYI……the Oath of Office of every branch of government includes an obligation to protect the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. The judicial power grab will eventually be overturned because history teaches that every power grab dies……whether with a bang or a whimper.
The further the judicial branch gets from the mainstream, the closer that eventual demise becomes.
And that death is inevitable.
