A federal judge has ordered the government to give bond hearings in preparation for releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants from Iraq back into the community, saying the Constitution protects them from indefinite detention here in the U.S.
Judge Mark A Goldsmith, an Obama appointee to the bench, had earlier halted deportations for nearly 300 Iraqis, saying that although they’d long been ordered removed, conditions on the ground have changed and they deserved new hearings.
His latest ruling Tuesday evening goes further, certifying some of the Iraqis as a class-action lawsuit and saying most of them should be “allowed to return to their productive lives” while they wait for the new hearings — meaning they must be released from detention, unless the government can prove they are a major risk to public safety.
“Our legal tradition rejects warehousing human beings while their legal rights are being determined, without an opportunity to persuade a judge that the norm of monitored freedom should be followed,” Judge Goldsmith wrote. “This principle is familiar to all in the context of the criminal law, where even a heinous criminal — whether a citizen or not — enjoys the right to seek pre-trial release.”
He said once someone had been held for six months, they needed to have a bond hearing.
At last count, there were 274 people whose deportations have been blocked by Judge Goldsmith, and he said the “vast majority” have been in custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for at least six months.

Will little boy blue Sessions get off his duff and challenge this ruling?
Andrew Jackson made it work and the courts stayed in the background while America grew and prospered.
Bad idea.
Traitor-in-Chief really appointed nitwit anti-American losers to the bench.

Doubtful. That would mean he’d have to work for his paycheck.

The communists in America are very strong and will take most of America down before the real America wakes up. Time to take these communists judges out and jail them for treason.
Holy Shiite.
Gee an Obama bud wants to release a pack of Muslim criminals. Why not? Obama is still pulling a lot of strings. He appears unstoppable at this point.
Here’s the deal, the law is going to be strictly enforced , with malice, only against US citizens. I hope you see the difference.
Treason is a hanging offense.
Might solve some Judaical activism from the bench,
The Judiciary is the LEAST powerful branch of the Federal Government and other than the Supreme Court, is an unconstitutional fiction created by Congress which has NO AUTHORITY to DICTATE.
Trump needs to stop being a pussy and take out these degenerate scumbags once and for all.
Trump runs around like a guy who is scared of getting impeached.
One MOAB on Congress, and they won’t be impeaching ANYBODY.
And there you have it... The only reason for this mans existence is treason and the subversion of our constitution....
Somebody get a rope....
Oh, I do.
This is why we should have an offshore location for the detention of “refugees” of questionable intentions. By being disconnected from the mainland, it serves as a barrier for any “release into the community”, as the released ones would have to swim through perhaps shark-infested waters, and it may be prudent to stay put just a little longer.
Return to their locality of origin is always an option to be offered if the detention proves to be too confining for their free spirits.
The constitution does not give a judge the power to review a President’s decision on what aliens to allow in or keep out. It’s pretty clearly written.
The bow tie is a dead giveaway.
