Biden Federal judge in Seattle blocks Trump’s refugee ban
WA State Standard ^ | February 26, 2025 | Jake Goldstein - Street

A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order halting the admission of refugees into the United States.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden appointee, is the first to block Trump’s order indefinitely suspending the United States Refugee Admissions Program.

Whitehead said the president’s order likely “crossed the line.”

The order, one of many the president signed on his first day in office, describes the country as “inundated with record levels of migration” over the past four years, threatening resources for U.S. citizens.

The order says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should recommend within 90 days whether the refugee program should resume.

The move stranded thousands of refugees expecting to come to the country. Days later, the White House also suspended funding for resettlement agencies, leading to layoffs and furloughs.

Tuesday’s ruling comes days after a federal judge in Washington D.C. denied a request to temporarily block the refugee funding freeze in a separate case.

Arrest, try, convict and sentence U.S. District Court Judge Jamal Whitehead for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Paraphrasing Andrew Jackson:
“The judge has made his order. Now let him enforce it.”

Emergency appeal, this judge has literally violated the separation of powers, the Executive alone manages the border and immigration.

Yes

Whitehead said the president’s order (likely “crossed the line).”

And he’s a judge?.

Trump needs to send the National Guard to fire all these DNC Feral RAT “judges”. They are anti-American stooges.

Just like the 1958 film (The Fly), where they are looking for a black fly with a white head.

In this case, Jamal is a blackhead pimple. /spit

It looks like the judge is insisting the program be stopped, but then:

“The order says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should recommend within 90 days whether the refugee program should resume.”

This implies that both the judge and one of Trump’s secretaries have more power than the president.

Also, does this mean that Noem can recommend the program be halted immediately?

And no, I didn’t read the article.

Love,

So, when did this Whitehead [aka "Shitehead"] get elected president?

Temporary. Immigration is decided by the Executive Branch, not the Judicial Branch.

From an overview of the The United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) Consultation and Worldwide Processing Priorities:

Following consultations (discussions) with cabinet representatives and Congress, a determination is drafted for signature by the President. The Presidential Determination establishes the overall admissions levels and regional allocations of all refugees for the upcoming fiscal year...No refugees may be admitted in the new fiscal year until the Presidential Determination has been signed.

I don't see why the Prez can't go as slow as he wants to in this matter. The Supremes' majority shouldn't have trouble with this one.

Trump's immigration policy should be resumed within 90 seconds.
