Same thing as sessions, Grassley bending over backwards to provide opportunity that will be refused with Trump drawing attention and providing separation. The ultimate troll like this would be RR and the Mule; TBD ;)
On October 10th a very important hearing before the Supreme Court will be held.
16-1363 NIELSEN, SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY V. PREAP
DECISION BELOW: 831 F.3d 1193
CERT. GRANTED 3/19/2018
QUESTION PRESENTED:
Whether a criminal alien becomes exempt from mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C.
1226(c) if, after the alien is released from criminal custody, the Department of Homeland
Security does not take him into immigration custody immediately.
*******************************
The Dems want to drag out any confirmation so as to pack the court for the above case. Obviously the lower court ruled that illegal alien criminals walk free, if Homeland Security fails to immediately take the criminal alien into custody. With Sanctuary States and cities fighting ICE, this becomes very important.
Would Kavanaugh be able to be part of the ruling, if he were not seated by the time the appeal is heard by the Supreme Court?
If the vote is split (probably will be), the ruling of the lower court would stand and the Dems fighting ICE and Trump will have succeeded in allowing illegal alien criminals to be immune to arrest or prosecution for their illegal entry into the US.
