Opinion: Another Trump border program thwarted by federal judge — because of the law and reality

Central American immigrants stand at the U.S.-Mexico border fence after crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico on Feb. 1 in El Paso, Tex. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 9 at 10:45 AM The Post reports:

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg in San Francisco enjoined the Migrant Protection Protocols policy days after outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen pledged to expand the program. The policy began in January at the San Ysidro port of entry in California but has been extended to the Calexico entry and to the entry in El Paso, and Seeborg wrote that the approach would have been further extended if the court were not to step in.

The court further found, “At least for purposes of this motion, there is no dispute that the individual plaintiffs are asylum seekers who lack valid admission documents, and who therefore ordinarily would be subject to expedited removal proceedings . . . . Applying the plain language of the statute, they simply are not subject to the contiguous territory return provision [allowing their immediate return to Mexico].

Had President Trump not already forced out Nielsen, he probably would have upon learning his illegal policy was thwarted by the courts.

A 9th CIRCUS Judge!

If there were truly something wrong with Trump’s proclamations there would be no need for the left to seek out judges especially predisposed to ruling against him! No to Forum shopping!

Problem w/ courts getting over involved in policy is that they lose their credibility & gravitas as an unbiased arbiter. If a coequal branch of Gov't is seen as politically weighing in on every decision a POTUS makes, it becomes a political weapon both sides will come to regret.

Here comes the fit

Activist Judges must be replaced because they are making laws from the bench.

The gop's idea of immigration control

Build the wall!

They follow farakahn, Sharpton, soros, think about it, if a conservative does something they want to tar and feather them.. if a dem does something they say it's in the past. They pay people off with a slush fund we pay for. When will libs wake up

Because the MSM gets told what to say.. it's all dem propaganda.. look at how the nazis and dictators used the media... just like the dems use it... it's sad and pethetic.. and yet libs dont care .. really look at what dems say and do..

When will dems stop the killing of babies and then screaming abt illegals children, we all know dems dont care about kids.. everything they do is just political.. having 16 year olds vote..then saying free collage..= votes... telling teachers they will get raises = votes and...

Let's be honest, the only reason libs want illegals here is for votes. They know it's the only way they can win elections. They dont care abt drugs coming in, gangs, murderers etc.. yes some want a new life, most just want use us.. when will

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (WJLA) - Police arrested four MS-13 gang members for allegedly murdering a man, dumping his body in the trunk of his car, and setting it on fire at Veterans Park in Woodbridge, Va. All four were charged in the murder of 25-year-old Santos Arquimidis Sorto Amaya.

EU is behind it; the old man is not stupid. Providing security, paying bills far rich EU, milking the US market, but, still yet, no respect for the old man

At the risk of sounding sensible, why not amend the situation that causes migrants to leave their countries to begin with? Nothing will be accomplished by stamping your feet & holding your breath.

It’s obvious the Democrats and their activists judges are the problem , adding that they do nothing to actually solve problems . Instead label , resist and look so completely foolish I’m truly embarrassed for them .

Trump pretty much doing exactly what Obama did with separations of kids!REALITY is that now thanks to Dems, the illegals hav learnt how to game the system and more are coming with Kids! Law is that an Obama judge at a lower court can get his order overturned at SCOTUS! TDS

Assuming T feels obligated to obey the law. So far he just ignored it. Now telling Border Patrol & others to ignore the law. No consequences.

They had no problem when Hussein and his fellow Comrades did it.

BorderReality To be ruled by madman like Trump who keeps defying US law, is drowning America into waters of chaos and conflicts. Replacing corrupted with greater corruption titled as Trump-purge

Oh dear. Pesky law and reality getting in the way of Trump's white supremacist dreams again?

History is repeating itself, here in the USA. We are watching it actually happening.

T says ignore the law like he does. Didn't turn docs over to Congress. What were the consequences...none. Not returning kids as court ordered. Consequences? None. Judicial decisions just words on paper. Irritations.

Reality would be accepting there is a massive crisis at the border.

Dare we yell “Yay Team Humanity”? 📣📣📣. ✌️❤️

LMFAO

Stunt? Look at what is happening, he needs to do something about and the Democrats are stopping him purely for political gain.

Wrong circuit. 😉😂
