A U.S. judge in California on Monday reinstated a nationwide halt on the Trump administration's plan to prevent most migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar ruled in Oakland that an injunction blocking the administration's policy from taking effect should apply nationwide.
Tigar blocked the policy in July after a lawsuit by groups that help asylum seekers. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals limited the impact of Tigar's injunction to states within the area overseen by the appeals court.
That meant the policy was blocked in the border states of California and Arizona but not in New Mexico and Texas.
In his ruling, Tigar stressed a "need to maintain uniform immigration policy" and found that nonprofit organizations such as Al Otro Lado (To the other side) don't know where asylum seekers who enter the U.S. will end up living and making their case to remain in the country.

No real legal basis - just the judge's own policy preference.
That meant the policy was blocked in the border states of California and Arizona but not in New Mexico and Texas.
Oh well.
Isn’t this the very thing that Justice Thomas was saying the Supreme Court needs to put a stop to? A circuit judge affecting national policies.
A district judge does not have nationwide jurisdiction.
Why does no one point this out and follow rule of law.
Yes, but we have a Bush League Republican as Chief Justice.
District judges should have no National authority.
Do it antway, and tell that POS to come and enforce it himself!
“Yes, but we have a Bush League Republican as Chief Justice.”
Compassionate conservatism in action every day. If only he had been successful getting Hariett Miers on the court as well.
There are 14 VACANT District Judgeships in California. Come on Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, let’s get them ALL filled by doing away with the Blue Slip process that DemocRATS use to keep judges they don’t like from being considered for a confirmation vote.
Close the border and add South American countries to the exclusion list.
Appointed by Obama.
Need to appeal immediately to the SCOTUS, and they need to overturn this idiot ruling.
Not just National, but meddling in the affairs of Az without considering what WE want. Now Ca insanity is dictating law in Az. Az should shut the border between Ca and Az down until this is fixed. There are only a small number of bridges to close.
"Compassionate Conservatism" is neither Conservative, nor Compassionate.
Isn’t the Circuit Court higher than the District Court?
Tyrants in black robes. Been that way for centuries
So...
1. Commie judge makes a ruling.
2. Appellate court above commie judge overrules him and sends back for review.
3. Commie judge doubles down - an “in your face” to the higher court.
This won’t take too long to get smacked down. Even leftists have a hierarchy. Commie judge will soon be told in no uncertain terms to “stay in their lane.”
Great. An out-of-control feral district judge overruling his circuit court superiors by purporting to again exercise nationwide authority, not just authority within his district. This should be fast tracked to the SC, with the ruling reversed, a ruling that district courts cannot exercise authority outside their districts, and a contempt hearing for this antifa-type judge.
Judge Jon Tigar He was nominated by President Barack Obama in June 2012.
Let the welfare sucking, drunk driving, illegal voting, drug peddling, border crashing bastards in. That’s the rat party platform.
And it isn’t only Mexicans - lets import the 3rd world from Africa. Not that they’ll provide anything of use to this country except illegal votes....
