Hmmm, same judge on Flynn case...

Judge orders deported asylum seekers to be returned to US, in Trump administration rebuke

A federal judge on Wednesday took the extraordinary step of ordering that asylum seekers who sued after their deportation be returned to the U.S. to have their claims heard anew, ruling against the Trump administration's revised asylum policies.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington came a day after the same judge presided over a contentious sentencing hearing for former national security adviser Michael Flynn --

In his sweeping ruling Wednesday against the Trump administration's immigration policies, Sullivan said recent changes violated federal law.

Sullivan went a big step further by ordering that “the government to return to the United States the plaintiffs who were unlawfully deported and to provide them with new credible fear determinations consistent with the immigration laws.” In addition to returning asylum seekers to the U.S., Sullivan blocked the Trump administration policies from being further applied.

We built a great big architectually beautiful wall in the late 19th century. We called it. . .

ELLIS ISLAND

Libs love their Ellis Island. Why no love for Trump's wall?
