Judge blocks Trump order that paused refugee admissions

A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order pausing the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, siding with arguments that the order likely exceeded the president's authority.

“The president has substantial discretion to suspend refugee admissions. But that authority is not limitless,” U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead said in his decision. "He cannot ignore Congress’ detailed framework for refugee admissions and the limits it places on the president’s ability to suspend the same."

Between the halt in admissions, staff layoffs at refugee agencies and the indefinite suspension of family reunification, Whitehead said there appeared to be an “effective nullification of congressional will.” Further, he said, the implementation of the order “likely violates bedrock principles of administrative law.”

He said an injunction was needed because “our system of separated powers demands no less.”

The Justice Department and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

IMO, the injunction is an intrusion of separated powers where the executive controls immigration, period.

Well, we are now fighting the entire Obama-Biden-Harris AND most of the 20 years of Bush-Clinton-Bush II too.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 gives the President TOTAL discretion in regard to the nationality and number of refugees allowed into the US.

Section 212(f):

"Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."

Trump has to heart to heart talk to Roberts about the sleaze way he+wife adopted two white Irish babies via South American nations. To get Justice Roberts to expedite all these BS lawfare cases up to the Supreme Court...”To prevent a Constitutional Crisis”.

This was the Roberts family work around, how Roberts+wife acquired white adoptives, that are very rare in America. You can do a Grok AI search/clarification on this matter/baby scam. Let me know, I have not Grok-ed this.

There were three more judges yesterday. Is there a counter somewhere? We have to be up to 25-30 rulings against Trump so far.

On July 13, 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Whitehead to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.

No surprise there. Always a Biden or Obama "nomination."

My understanding is that the president of the United States has complete and total authority to decide whether somebody, or some groups, enter this country or not. If that is the case, then this judge is going to be overruled very quickly. It is 100% obvious that illegals trying to enter this country have no Constitutional rights, as they are literally not part of our society. They certainly don’t have a right to live here on the backs of taxpayers.

It isn’t because they don’t know the Constitution, they do. It is that they just do not care about it and are doing the bidding of the marxist democrat party.

Obama was always clear about the fact he didn’t like the Constitution.

I am not a lawyer, but if I were a SCOTUS Justice, I would rule that 212(f) proves Trump's authority over immigration, and his EO is valid. If congress passed a law denying his authority I would rule it to be illegal. I would also rule that "birthright citizenship" is an incorrect interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

What scares me is that if a Dem were elected POTUS in 2028 he could undo everything.

Re: "INA 1952"

There have been Amendments and Revisions added since 1952.

For Instance - the Ted Kennedy INA 1965

Also - some other Amendments in 1990.

Bottom Line...

Unless the President is a flaming racist, or openly despises a particular country, then, the USA President still has almost total authority to make the final decisions about countries and immigration numbers.

The USA President has additional powers to punish countries who will not take back their criminals or illegal residents.

The USA also has treaties with Canada and Mexico that allow the USA President to send back ANY Can/Mex citizens, at any time, without ANY USA Federal Judge over sight.

The current legal strategy for Democrat Federal Judges is to scream RACIST when ever a GOP President tries to use his immigration authority.
