President Trump’s immigration policy, like most of his foreign policy, is saturated with references to his campaign slogan “America First,” and a federal judge this week said it shows illegal and racist “animus” toward immigrants.

Judge Edward Chen blocked the Department of Homeland Security from revoking a special deportation amnesty for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants, at least in part because Secretary Kristi Noem justified the decision by citing Mr. Trump’s “America First” agenda.

Judge Chen, an Obama appointee to the court in Northern California, said the term had an “inference of animus given the historical connotation of that phrase.”

The White House said the judge got it wrong...

Nobody cares.

I was sure this was from the Bee.

Freedom of Speech would be nice, but it’s too much to ask for these days.

“The White House said the judge got it wrong...”

Wrong way Roberts needs turn around.

[Common Sense 101]

How in the hell much more of this assdouchery are we going to have to endure before that POS Roberts or the gutless, limp-wristed Repukelican scum get off their asses?

That’s not that different from saying that since the Democrats supported slavery before Civil War, any party called “Democrats” is composed of racists.

[delchiante]

Didn’t know America was a race...

[P.O.E.]

So race is now a country? I’m confused

[Paladin2]

Where is his legal basis?

The Federal Law is now totally based on an alleged Judge’s feelings?

Is that in a Constitutional penumbra?

Traitor Roberts’ minions are out of control.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Religions are races, countries are races, foods are races...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Illegal aliens are not a race.

[GreatRoad]

100% thought this was the Bee too!

[ViLaLuz]

I thought it was the Bee as well.

[roadcat]

"We're No. 1!" - That's racist? Disband sports right now, so unfair to be better than outsiders! Maybe these jerk judges will rule that we must wear a slogan "Make America Last Again!".

Que MALA pata!

[Williams]

Guess he wants Venezuelan gangs first.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Another friggin’ lowlife foreign “judgie”? All the boy has is an empty skull and a race card. Hey Mr. Chen. Sorry but it’s AMERICA FIRST! If you don’t like that go back to your home country, OAKLAND. There isn’t any racism there.

[DoughtyOne]

We have judges and the media slugging it out to be recognized
as the mythical 4th Estate.

[NEMDF]

What is it supposed to be? “Violent South American Gangs First”???
