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

BFD.

[Jim Noble]

They are exasperated that Trump is carrying out the law.

Trump is taking care that the laws be faithfully executed.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause applies to all persons within the United States, including aliens, regardless of lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent presence. Aliens physically present in the U.S. are therefore generally entitled to due process protections in removal proceedings, including a hearing and meaningful opportunity to be heard.The Supreme Court has held that the scope of due process owed to an alien may vary based on status and circumstances, particularly whether the alien was lawfully admitted or has developed substantial connections to the country.Key rulings:

• Zadvydas v. Davis (2001): Indefinite post-removal-order detention of lawfully admitted aliens raises serious constitutional concerns; statute construed to contain implicit time limits absent clear congressional intent and special justification.
• Demore v. Kim (2003): Mandatory detention of certain criminal aliens during pendency of removal proceedings is constitutional, as it is typically brief and serves the purpose of preventing flight.
• Jennings v. Rodriguez (2018): Immigration statutes authorizing detention during removal proceedings contain no implicit time limits or requirement for periodic bond hearings; indefinite detention is statutorily permitted, but the Court did not resolve whether it is constitutionally permissible.
• DHS v. Thuraissigiam (2020): An alien apprehended 25 yards inside the border shortly after illegal entry has no due process right to additional judicial review of expedited removal; such aliens may be treated “as if stopped at the border” and lack the due process protections afforded to those who have established connections in the United States.

Overall, while aliens within the United States generally receive Fifth Amendment due process protection, the extent of that protection can be limited depending on admission status, ties to the country, criminal history, and proximity to the border at time of apprehension, with the Court often deferring to congressional policy choices in immigration matters.

They don’t like the extra work they’ll have to do and Trump should call them out as lazy bastards.

Quote from Attorney Andrew Branca: unelected, black- robed, tyrannical, federal district trial court judges……

Trumps either gonna capitulate which will be this countries ruin or he will start pushing the borders of his rule. We need to win this fight.

The one thing I have not heard about is fining employers. Do this (and just today or yesterday the administration took away welfare benefits) and they will have no choice but to self-deport.

I fear the administration doesn’t want to step on the “business” community’s toes, but they should.

Trump has the bomb.

Declaring a national emergency.

He assumes extraordinary powers to save The Republic in that circumstance.

NDAA... the whole shebang.

These judges would face arrest and indeterminate incarceration without access to legal council for the duration of the emergency.

So let me get this straight, Biden and the Dems can break all the laws they want to get as many illegals in as fast as they can get them here and we have to follow the law as we try to get rid of them?

[doc maverick]

There’s a lot of money involved in opposing Trump.
The 220 aren’t doing this for free.
There’s a huge amount of money involved in trying to destroy Trump because he won’t let the devil erase America.

Almost sounds like a plan, doesn't it?

[butlerweave]

It’s none of the judges business

[rllngrk33]

It’s a good thing these 225 judges have identified themselves as enemies of America. Now what are we going to do about it?

[Secret Agent Man]

There is no statute of limitations on deporting illegals when found.

(with apology to William Shakespeare)

[curious7]

Or toss the cases due to ‘lack of standing’. They seemed to really like doing that a few years back.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

“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!!!!”

That kind of thing might work in a parliamentary system of government, but we don’t have that kind of government.

How hard would it be to collect 220 home addresses of said judges and send a significant number of those 10 million illegals to those addresses over a period of 6 say months?
