WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday warned Texas Governor Greg Abbott to "immediately rescind" a new executive order aimed at curbing the travel into the state of undocumented immigrants who may pose a risk of transmitting COVID-19.

"The order violates federal law in numerous respects, and Texas cannot lawfully enforce the executive order against any federal official or private parties working with the United States," Garland told Abbott in a letter.

He added that if Texas continues to implement the ground restrictions on migrants, then the Justice Department will "pursue all appropriate legal remedies."

Wait...governors can make fiat laws that apply to residents but not to immigrants?

Sorry, Garland.
You WILL lose.

I believe the answer to the AG is “get stuffed”.

Time to forget about Justice Marshall(who “has made his order now let him enforce it) and turn perhaps to Justice Martial. Not to be confused with Marital Justice, which is more difficult to understand than either.

What will DOJ do if Texas simply ignores them? I hope we find out. Texas should tell the AG to Go Pound Sand.

Federal government is in charge of illegal immigration, but the states can refuse to settle them. Load them up and deposit them in DC.

Americans angrily mask:

Why does the DO”J” protect ELECTION FRAUD,
BABY RAPE, SELLING CHILDREN, ABUSE OF INNOCENT,
PROTECTION OF CONGRESSIONAL WRONGDOINGS,
PROTECTION OF DO”J” and FIB WRONGDOINGS,
and TREASON and SEDITION?

Is there NO ONE in the DO”J” who is honest?

Illegals violate the law and our dictator tells us it’s illegal to stop them.

**************

Bingo! That’s where we are. Laws are selectively applied and/or ignored depending on political objectives.

The republic cannot stand much more of this.

Look at it from a conservative perspective: The United States implemented certain policies. People responded in exactly the way would be expected from those policies. Some isn’t invading when you invited them...

Yep, we owe Mitch a big thank you for keeping this anti-constitutional piece of garbage off the Supreme Court.

Texas will lose this case.


Case? There is only one proper response from Abbott: “Come and take it.” Anything less is not acceptable. If we must have this battle let it be now. Every day Trump voters die. Every day thousands more third world dirt farmers arrive to replace us. The struggle against these rampaging Marxists won’t get easier with time. Democrat party importation of Chicom flu infected illegals should be the red line.

Garland said the order "would jeopardize the health and safety of noncitizens in federal government custody" and it will also interfere with the implementation of federal immigration law.

He is confusing policy with law. The law says that illegal aliens are to be refused entry or deported. The regime's policy is to violate the law allow them in.

We have to get shots and wear masks, and they can come and go as they please, completely immune to our laws.
