Judge orders DHS to restart Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' policy
Washington Times ^ | August 13, 2021 | By Stephen Dinan

A federal judge ordered Homeland Security to restart President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, ruling Friday that the Biden administration cut too many corners when it scrapped the get-tough approach to illegal border crossers.

Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas rushed to scrap the policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, without considering the benefits of pushing border jumpers back across the boundary to Mexico to await their immigration court dates.

Particularly at a time when the government is defying U.S. law by catching and releasing illegal immigrants that are supposed to be detained, the judge said the MPP was a viable alternative, and the Biden team needed to give more than a cursory explanation for ending it.

“Defendants are ordered to enforce and implement MPP in good faith until such time as it has been lawfully rescinded in compliance with the [Administrative Procedures Act] and until such a time as the federal government has sufficient detention capacity to detain all aliens subject to mandatory detention,” the judge wrote.

The decision is a severe blow to the Biden team’s efforts to roll back Mr. Trump’s immigration policies.

I doubt if the judge called it Trumps’ immigration policy, but I’m sure glad the Washington Times did.

I know nothing about the process, but I’m willing to bet the judge didn’t arrive at this decision without a petition. So who made this happen?

Is this some Babylon Bee article? A US federal judge making a common sense ruling? Ok I’m going to wake up any moment and realise it was just a happy dream...

I was wondering the exact same thing — who filed a case with the court? It is so refreshing to hear a judge make a sensible ruling for a change.

Makes me wonder if Biden’s team asked this judge to overturn it so they could have an out to stop the uncontrollable mess they started. Even what few voters they have are fed up with their stupid policies.

“In one of its first of dozens of steps that harm Texas and the nation as a whole, the Biden administration directed DHS to violate federal immigration law and breach an agreement to consult and cooperate with Texas on that law. Our state defends the largest section of the southern border in the nation. Failure to properly enforce the law will directly and immediately endanger our citizens and law enforcement personnel,” said Attorney General Paxton. “DHS itself has previously acknowledged that such a freeze on deportations will cause concrete injuries to Texas. I am confident that these unlawful and perilous actions cannot stand. The rule of law and security of our citizens must prevail.”

That way they could play the victim and get people’s sympathy instead of being exposed as the frauds and hypocrites they are and for making really bad decisions they have to backpedal on.

It’s all about optics.
