I wish, but I don’t think lie detector tests can be used as evidence. I think that they were ruled invalid several years ago.
It would be pretty easy to think of a reason rather than just being arbitrary.
yep. judge is open borders. he wants catch and release.
Why is this a “major blow”? The EXECUTIVE determines these matters, NOT the courts, as the SCOTUS just affirmed. Just FOR ONCE can we see the DHS/DOJ/CBP/ICE just state that they will NOT comply???
It's not the same issue. You have to read the ruling, or at least the article, to know what the judge actually ruled on.
It is rich that people are often fleeing countries because the country is lawless, and at the same time so many here, including the illegal crossers, are rushing like crazy to make this country lawless too and in the long run just as miserable.
Times change:

“United States v. Cordoba, 104 F.3d 225 (9th Cir. 1997); United States v. Posado, 57 F.3d 428 (5th Cir. 1995). In a pre-Daubert decision, United States v. Piccinonna, 885 F.2d 1529 (11th Cir. 1989) (en banc), the Eleventh Circuit held that polygraph results are admissible (1) when the parties stipulate to admissibility in advance of the test; or (2) when the polygraph results are used to impeach or corroborate the testimony of a witness.”
Since the purpose of my polygraph on illegals and asylum claims is “impeach or corroborate the testimony”, it would arguably be admissible.
