Federal judge claims jurisdiction over Somali deportation case [Obama appointee]

A federal judge in Miami ruled Friday that his court has jurisdiction to hear a lawsuit challenging the deportation of 92 Somalis who are in detention centers in Florida.

The undocumented men and women were on a botched deportation flight on Dec. 7 bound for Somalia that was rerouted back to the U.S. after it made a stop in the West African country of Senegal.

U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles had extended several times a temporary hold on the deportation of the Somalis, saying he needed time to weigh whether he has jurisdiction over the case. The government had argued that the court doesn't have jurisdiction to hear the detainees' cases.

In December, several detainees on the flight filed a class action lawsuit that claimed the men and women should not be deported because of the escalation of violence carried out by the terrorist group al-Shabab in Somalia and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's failed attempt to send them to the East African nation.

More like to see whether he can spin a tale giving him jurisdiction to keep SCOTUS busy with the slap-down stick....

Put em all back on the plane, including this “so-called” judge.
Fly em all back over there, dump em all out on the tarmac and LEAVE.
IF they can’t land, put parachutes on em and dump out the door.
IF the Somalis kill em, it’s on them.

......several Somali Muslim detainees filed a class action claiming they should not be deported because of the escalation of violence carried out by the terrorist group al-Shabab in Somalia ......

And what about a class action suit by American citizens that we face eminent danger with these Somali Muslim animals in our midst.

Even after all of the crimes the Clintons committed, the impeachment, the disbarment, the mass murder in Serbia, the influence peddling and bribery at the Clinton Foundation, etc., they won a majority of the votes last election day.

Obama committed treason at the highest levels actively working to dismantle the US military and give our enemies nuclear weapons.

They would be in CHARGE of this corrupt banana republic, only one man could stop them, a man named Trump.

They are still obstructing justice with the full weight of the executive branch agencies and media supporting them. This fantasy that the criminals in government will be taken down is childish.

History clearly shows that only a military supported purge which includes mass arrests, imprisonments, seizing of assets, and executions will put a dent in these still currently untouchable bastards.

I sincerely think Trump doesn’t have the stones to take the next step.

Time is wasting away, less that 300 days until the GOP loses the House, and then Trump is impeached.

Based on the treason actions by the FBI that have been uncovered, Trump is well within his rights to declare a State of Emergency and go all Erdogan on the domestic enemy and the press.

The type of PURGE Trump needs to intiate is described below from Wiki:

“The 2016–17 purges in Turkey are an ongoing series of purges by the government of Turkey enabled by a state of emergency in reaction to the 15 July failed coup d’état.

After the immediate arrest of military personnel accused of making the coup attempt, arrests were expanded to include further elements of the Turkish military service, as well as various civil servants and private businesses.

These later actions, reflecting a power struggle between secularist and Islamist political elites in Turkey, which began to be known as a purge, affected people who were not active in nor aware of the coup as it happened, but who were alleged to be connected with the Gülen movement, a group which the government blames for the coup. Even the mere possession of books authored by Gülen may be considered evidence of such a connection and cause for arrest.

Tens of thousands of public servants and soldiers were purged in the first week following the coup.

For example, on 16 July 2016, just one day after the coup was foiled, 2,745 judges were dismissed and detained.

This was followed by the dismissal, detention or suspension of over 100,000 officials, a figure that had increased to over 110,000 by early November 2016, over 125,000 after the 22 November decree, reaching at least 135,000 with the 7 January’s decrees, and about 160,000 after 29 April’s suspensions and arrests.

In the business sector, the government forcefully seized assets of over 1000 companies worth $11 billion, on the charge of being related to Gulen and the coup.

By late 2017 over a thousand companies and their assets owned by individuals allegedly affiliated with the movement had been seized and generally such things as goods produced by such companies had become boycotted by the public.

The purges also extend to the media with television channels, newspapers and other media outlets that were seen as critical of the government being shut down, critical journalists being arrested and Wikipedia being blocked since April 2017.

Since early September 2016, the post-coup emergency state allowed a turn against Kurdish groups, most notably with the dismissal of about 12,000 Kurdish teachers and 24 elected mayors and arrest of the co-chairs of the Peoples’ Democratic Party and Kurdish culture for alleged links with the Kurdistan Workers Party.”

1. It’s NPR: Can’t trust the reporting.
2. It’s an Obama judge: Can’t trust him to follow the constitution.
3. Deport, and be quick about it.
