When the blonde at Homeland Security got fired, weren’t we supposed to go in a “tougher” direction?
Did you think that would mean President Trump would openly defy the US Supreme Court?
“The Court issued only a simple order, without explanation for any of the votes, that kept intact a California’s federal judge’s temporary but nationwide ban on enforcing the asylum limitations. The issue could return to the Justices after lower courts rule more definitively on the challenge being pursued to the new restrictions by four organizations that handle legal claims for those seeking asylum.
Under the Administration policy, the government declared that it would not allow any foreign national to seek asylum if that individual had entered the U.S. illegally and crossed the U.S.-Mexico border at any point other than an official reception point – called a “port of entry.”
The nationwide order against enforcement of that policy was based on a temporary filing that the challengers probably will be able to prove, when the issue is fully tested in court, that the policy violates the federal law governing foreign nationals’ access to asylum – the kind of relief that enables a person fleeing from persecution and torture in their home country to gain a chance to live in the U.S. as a refugee.” excerpt
