More than 220 judges have now rejected the Trump admin’s mass detention policy

The number has skyrocketed in recent weeks and includes at least 20 judges appointed by Trump himself.

The Trump administration’s bid to systematically lock up nearly all immigrants facing deportation proceedings has led to a fierce — and mounting — rejection by courts across the country.

That effort, which began with an abrupt policy change by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on July 8, has led to a tidal wave of emergency lawsuits after ICE’s targets were arrested at workplaces, courthouses or check-ins with immigration officers. Many have lived in the U.S. for years, and sometimes decades, without incident and have been pursuing asylum or other forms of legal status.

At least 225 judges have ruled in more than 700 cases that the administration’s new policy, which also deprives people of an opportunity to seek release from an immigration court, is a likely violation of law and the right to due process. Those judges were appointed by all modern presidents — including 23 by Trump himself — and hail from at least 35 states, according to a POLITICO analysis of thousands of recent cases. The number of judges opposing the administration’s position has more than doubled in less than a month.

In contrast, only eight judges nationwide, including six appointed by Trump, have sided with the administration’s new mass detention policy.

Courts, increasingly aware of the one-sided rejection of the administration’s policy, have grown exasperated by the deluge of litigation that has flooded their dockets. Some have made a partial accounting of the...

Ah, the old ‘many have” routine. Judges tend to live in an undortunate social bubble in which much of their contact may, in my opinion, come as a result of labial-anal osculation from attorneys. They’re okay with books, but otherwise...

So 91% are RAT or RINO appointees. Judges are just politicians with the right connections.

It’s not the courts’ decision. They are foreign invaders and don’t have the right to due process.

WE THE PEOPLE elected President Trump in record numbers and I would think that would override 220 idiotic judges opinions. He told us what he was going to do and we agreed!!!!

My personal prayer along with others in the morning:

Please thwart the Democrats, Socialists, Communists and the judges who enable them.

Thank You for sparing Donald Trump’s life. Please continue to protect Donald Trump and his supporters including me.

"Courts...have grown exasperated by the deluge of litigation that has flooded their dockets."

Then only determine whether they are here illegally or not and dismiss it right there if they are here illegally. Easy peasy.

Declare the Demo Party to be a criminal enterprise and detain these people for a couple plus years while they are being individually investigated.

They're certainly going to do the same to us if they ever seize power again.

It’s not the courts’ decision. They are foreign invaders and don’t have the right to due process.

Despite the government’s broad power over immigration, the Supreme Court has recognized that aliens who have physically entered the United States generally come under the protective scope of the Due Process Clause, which applies "to all ‘persons’ within the United States, including aliens, whether their presence here is lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent."

All of those lower court decisions are subject to appeal in a higher court including the Supreme Court. Don’t worry folks this will all be cleaned in the wash.

My first thought was, how many of those 220+ decisions have already been struck down by the SCOTUS?

I suspect the author didn’t even try to find that info.

Just look at the number of foreign born judges making these rulings.

Foreign born females, and on top of that they are lawyers.

They are exasperated that Trump is carrying out the law.
