(DCNF)—U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Tuesday that the Supreme Court’s “landmark ruling” on deportations has officially prevented left-wing judges from seizing control of President Donald Trump’s administration’s efforts.
In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court tossed orders by U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, that blocked the administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport over 200 members of Tren de Agua to El Salvador. Bondi, who celebrated the high court’s decision, said on “Fox & Friends” that these liberal judges no longer have any authority to interfere with the administration’s deportations.
“These liberal district judges thought that they could control our entire country’s policy [and] Donald Trump’s policy on keeping America safe,” Bondi said. “They cannot do it and this is, again, a landmark ruling for the rule of law yesterday and it’s so important because these flights will now continue. These terrorists, they are foreign terrorists, they are alien enemies to our country and we will continue to deport them. We are going to keep America safe and a liberal district judge is not going to stop us. That’s what this Supreme Court ruled yesterday.”
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows for a president in certain circumstances to deport individuals without them appearing before an immigration judge, raising the question of whether Trump had the authority to use this act to deport these individuals. Though the flights were already en route to El Salvador, Boasberg ordered in a March 17 ruling that the deportation flights be reversed.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the administration had not defied the ruling since the planes were already outside of U.S. territory.
The Supreme Court’s order states that the gang members “are subject to removal” under the Alien Enemies Act. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
“AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act,” the court’s order states. “The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.”
Bondi further commented on Boasberg’s scheduled hearing on the matter at 3:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
“[Boasberg] is not canceling the hearing, he is continuing on with the hearing. But the Supreme Court has spoken loud and clear. He has no jurisdiction, that flight will remain in El Salvador, those inmates, those violent gang members, those violent alien enemies will remain in El Salvador,” Bondi said. “He cannot get them back. So his jurisdiction is over. So we’ll see what he says today at 3 p.m., but going forward, these terrorists better look out.”
Tren de Agua, which gained a foothold in the U.S. since former President Joe Biden’s border crisis, is responsible for a number of gruesome crimes in the U.S. In June, two illegal immigrants alleged to be part of Tren de Agua murdered 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston, Texas, and dumped her body in a nearby river.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
