Last I checked, the Obama Admin was in charge back then, so WTF does this case have to do with the Trump Admin?
Maybe Roberts is signalling how he’ll vote on any refugee/immigration cases DJT sends him.
If that is the government's position then the government is a ass. This argument cuts against a fundamental requirement of the exercise of administrative discretion - that it be "reasonable," e.g. that it be based upon a valid stated reason. That a representation be "material" is an important filter in any decision-making.
The previous Muslim adminstration (er, Obama administration) DID reject her AND her family BECAUSE she feared Muslim retaliation if back in Bosnia BY the Muslims.
She is a “true” refugee fleeing “true” persecution, which is why the Obama administration forced her resettlement into the Muslim death camps.
