On Thursday’s broadcast of WBUR’s “Here and Now,” Managing Director of the Immigration Defense Unit at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office Francisco Ugarte stated that if 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is elected the “idea that Trump could just simply get away with engaging in mass deportation without any semblance of a resistance is really kind of far-fetched.” And cited California’s Supreme Court saying that ICE agents shouldn’t be in courthouses because that deters people from going to court as an example of this.

Jefferson:
“A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government.” —Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Ritchie, 1820. ME 15:298
“The original error [was in] establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1807. FE 9:68
“It is a misnomer to call a government republican in which a branch of the supreme power is independent of the nation.” —Thomas Jefferson to James Pleasants, 1821. FE 10:198
“We have... [required] a vote of two-thirds in one of the Houses for removing a judge; a vote so impossible where any defense is made before men of ordinary prejudices and passions, that our judges are effectually independent of the nation. But this ought not to be. I would not indeed make them dependent on the Executive authority, as they formerly were in England; but I deem it indispensable to the continuance of this government that they should be submitted to some practical and impartial control, and that this, to be impartial, must be compounded of a mixture of state and federal authorities.” —Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:120
“Impeachment is a farce which will not be tried again.” —Thomas Jefferson to William B. Giles, 1807. ME 11:191
“Let the future appointments of judges be for four or six years and renewable by the President and Senate. This will bring their conduct at regular periods under revision and probation, and may keep them in equipoise between the general and special governments. We have erred in this point by copying England, where certainly it is a good thing to have the judges independent of the King. But we have omitted to copy their caution also, which makes a judge removable on the address of both legislative houses.” —Thomas Jefferson to William T. Barry, 1822. ME 15:389
“Our different States have differently modified their several judiciaries as to the tenure of office. Some appoint their judges for a given term of time; some continue them during good behavior, and that to be determined on by the concurring vote of two-thirds of each legislative house. In England they are removable by a majority only of each house. The last is a practicable remedy; the second is not. The combination of the friends and associates of the accused, the action of personal and party passions and the sympathies of the human heart will forever find means of influencing one-third of either the one or the other house, will thus secure their impunity and establish them in fact for life. The first remedy is the better, that of appointing for a term of years only, with a capacity of reappointment if their conduct has been approved.” —Thomas Jefferson to A. Coray, 1823. ME 15:486
“Contrary to all correct example, [the Federal judiciary] are in the habit of going out of the question before them, to throw an anchor ahead and grapple further hold for future advances of power. They are then in fact the corps of sappers and miners, steadily working to undermine the independent rights of the States and to consolidate all power in the hands of that government in which they have so important a freehold estate.” —Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:121
“The judges... are practicing on the Constitution by inferences, analogies, and sophisms, as they would on an ordinary law. They do not seem aware that it is not even a Constitution formed by a single authority and subject to a single superintendence and control, but that it is a compact of many independent powers, every single one of which claims an equal right to understand it and to require its observance.” —Thomas Jefferson to Edward Livingston, 1825. ME 16:113
“It has long been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression,... that the germ of dissolution of our Federal Government is in the constitution of the Federal Judiciary—an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow), working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction until all shall be usurped from the States and the government be consolidated into one. To this I am opposed.” —Thomas Jefferson to Charles Hammond, 1821. ME 15:331
“At the establishment of our Constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions nevertheless become law by precedent, sapping by little and little the foundations of the Constitution and working its change by construction before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.” —Thomas Jefferson to A. Coray, 1823. ME 15:486
“I do not charge the judges with wilful and ill-intentioned error; but honest error must be arrested where its toleration leads to public ruin. As for the safety of society, we commit honest maniacs to Bedlam; so judges should be withdrawn from their bench whose erroneous biases are leading us to dissolution. It may, indeed, injure them in fame or in fortune; but it saves the republic, which is the first and supreme law.” —Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:122

San Fran can take every one of them. And end all federal moneys so the locals can pay for it.
A giant Nothing Burger!
The Democrats will get a half dozen Temporary Restraining Orders from sympathetic Hard Left federal judges.
Trump will order career, Hard Left, government attorneys, from the Department of Homeland Security, to argue the Conservative Case in federal court.
Trump's career, Hard Left, government attorneys, will lose, or indefinitely postpone, every case.
A couple months before the 2026 Midterm Elections, the Republican rank and file will notice that all the original illegal immigrants are still here, plus a couple million new illegal immigrants.
The GOP will lose the House and Senate in the Midterm Elections, thus giving passionate Trump supporters the perfect excuse to claim that Trump is completely helpless against the power of the federal courts.
For those with short memories, please recall that...
In 2017, 2018, and 2019 - before Covid - Trump Naturalized more new citizens, Trump issued more Green Cards, and Trump issued more Foreign Work Visas, than Barack Obama did, in 2014, 2015, and 2016.
Full Disclosure - I will still support Trump in 2024, just like I supported Trump in 2016, because the GOP has no one else who can win a National Election.
So, how much of a problem did Eisenhower have when he shipped the illegals home?
In the past the KKK was the military arm of the Democrats. I take it that they will now make the illegals their new military wing?
Different issue, I wouldn’t mind if President Trump approached it, but more important things first. I’d love to see him address the government’s debt crisis too.
There are numerous laws on the books allowing deportation, including turning them around at the border. Since you mention Wilson, he’d be appalled at whats happening, at least the non white immigrants. And I suspect he’d define white with a western European bias.
Nailed it perfectly.
And a lot more IRS agents. Starting at 6% then growing to European levels as growth and earnings decline. More likely inflation. I don't think debt levels are on Trump's mind, efficiency of government seems to be, that could have a long term impact.
Cut off the welfare benefits. Offer sustenance to those on route to the border or the nearest airport for repatriation, but otherwise just cut them off.
Withdraw Biden’s illegal work permits and crack down on employers who hire illegals.
Sue every NGO that has supported the invasion for the costs incurred.
Withdraw federal funding from all state and local governments that refuse to allow local law enforcement from working with ICE to deport illegals.
Hey Public Defender, how many of these visitors will you take into your household?
We MUST deport ALL biden/harris era illegals!
Anyone who resists this is a traitor to the USA, and should be treated accordingly!
Trump will find anything he does rough sledding because the state and federal bureaucracies are going to flat out mutiny.
I am SWINGING for the FENCES-—
I WANT 60 MILLION +++++ sent out.
THOSE LAWS have been on the books for YEARS.
FINE==$5,000 per day per employee.
THOSE FINES ALREADY EXIST.
$5,000 per day per employee
CUT OFF THEIR FREEBIES & THEY WILL LEAVE.
SEND ICE AGENTS UNDERCOVER TO EVERY SINGLE WESTERN UNION LOCATION IN THE USA.
NAB the illegals THERE.
I think all the $$$$ for illegals and the funding to the NGOs/NonProfits and foreign aid are things that play right into the budget disaster.
absolutly.
cut off any local government unwilling to enforce the laws. Let the people know why there is no government cheese for them.
oh ya, the hissy fits will be fun to watch.
