"The Government's reply brief in John Doe v. Trump - before Judge William Conley in the Western District of Wisconsin - was filed late last night just minutes before the deadline. Incredibly, in an act of sheer deep state sabotage, it does not cite to, rely upon, or draw the attention of the Court to, the very statute that specifically bars asylum seekers and asylees from suing the US Government or its officers.
That statute is 8 U.S.C. 1158(d)7. This section of US Code has been cited in multiple federal cases regarding asylum issues. It is beyond question the most on point controlling statute concerning the case brought by a Syrian alien who was granted the gift of asylum, is residing here, and who sued the US Government to stay President Trump's travel ban Executive Orders so that his wife and child could avoid the 120 day delay involved therewith.
That the Government's brief defending the Executive fails to cite this controlling law is malpractice against the USA.
That legal sin is amplified as well by the fact that multiple federal cases have interpreted the broad prohibition of 1158(d)(7) to not just bar suits based upon the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA), prior precedent also states that the statute bars Constitutional claims as well.
1158(d)(7) states:
'(7)No private right of action
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to create any substantive or procedural right or benefit that is legally enforceable by any party against the United States or its agencies or officers or any other person.' "
