Federal judge upholds temporary protected status for Haitian immigrants

Federal judge reads threats she's received aloud in court, says, 'We will not be intimidated'

A federal judge on Thursday upheld her order postponing the termination of temporary protected status for around 350,000 Haitians in the United States.

The Justice Department appealed U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes' stay to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit but simultaneously requested that she rescind her order. Reyes heard arguments from both sides on Thursday. She said she was denying the government’s motion and would issue a written order before Feb. 19, which is the next deadline in the appellate court case. 

Reyes' order pauses Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s termination of temporary protected status for Haitians.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BLOCKED FROM ENDING TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS FOR HAITIANS

"During the stay, the Termination shall be null, void, and of no legal effect," she wrote. "The Termination therefore does not affect the protections and benefits previously conferred by the TPS designation, including work authorization and protection from detention and deportation, and the valid period of work authorization extends during the stay."

At the end of Thursday's hearing, Reyes said she had something "important" to put on the record.

"People are entitled to their views," said Reyes, who is both the first Latina and openly LGBTQ person to serve in Washington, D.C., as a district court judge.

LEFT-WING COURT HANDS KRISTI NOEM BIG WIN IN ‘UNVETTED IMMIGRATION’ CASE

"I am an immigrant. I did not hide that from the president of the United States… or from the U.S. Senate," Reyes said, adding that she has heard questions about "how someone like me, an immigrant and a..."

So the aliens take over.

The President can let them in, but never send them out…if it hurts the feelings of fellow “immigrants”.

So, when did the “helpless” Haitian emigrants decide they were going to run America’s emigrant program?

Totally unprofessional for a federal judge to issue a ruling and complain about threats they’ve received.
Obviously the judge is acting out and pretending they are issuing orders against the people making the threats. Immature unjudicial behavior.

The judge is an America hating lesbo from Uruguay who grew up in Spain and thinks she has the dictatorial powers of a Spanish Judge.

What a kook, she went on about being a lesbian and having worked at a big law firm and having been so successful at Harvard Law School. She said this was something important she had to read to everyone. These people are so out of control unprofessional it’s ludicrous.

You mean being a lesbian had something to do with the ruling on the Haitian immigrants? Are they from Haiti or from the island of lesbos?

Pretty sure immigration is an Executive branch function. Pull what Barry did and say “We disagree with the judge, we believe the judge is wrong, we are going to continue to do what we are doing as it works its way through the courts”.

We can’t successfully impeach judges, but a Republican Congress and President can removal their tools of obstruction.

The Congress has Article I, Section 8 power to make rules for the government.

Perhaps a new law:

Federal judges shall not make law, but merely help litigants get the benefit of the text and intended meanings of the provisions of the Constitution when they were placed into it, statutory law and the remnants of common law.

No ruling or decision by a federal district or appellate court judge on a case against a government, a governmental agency or governmental person shall be applicable beyond each entity or private person individually listed within by name or personal particulars by the judge personally.

No federal judge who has or has possessed foreign citizenship may adjudicate an immigration, asylum or removal case.

No district court federal judge shall work on a case who has a parent, aunt, uncle, sibling, child, grandchild or known partner of such close relative or a personal partner with any case related interest.

The following district and appellate court judges are hereby barred from hearing cases where the federal government is a party or federal funding is in contention:
....

If judges don’t want to be shaking their fists instead of gavels, they need to behave and know their place.

If judges don’t want to have to wear fools’ caps as Congress may require under Article I, Section 8, they need to behave and know their place.

Quotes from the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees to which the US is a party:

Article 31. - Refugees unlawfully in the country of refuge

1. The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence.
2. The Contracting States shall not apply to the movements of such refugees restrictions other than those which are necessary and such restrictions shall only be applied until their status in the country is regularized or they obtain admission into another country. The Contracting States shall allow such refugees a reasonable period and all the necessary facilities to obtain admission into another country.

Article 32. - Expulsion

1. The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order.
2. The expulsion of such a refugee shall be only in pursuance of a decision reached in accordance with due process of law. Except where compelling reasons of national security otherwise require, the refugee shall be allowed to submit evidence to clear himself, and to appeal to and be represented for the purpose before competent authority or a person or persons specially designated by the competent authority.
3. The Contracting States shall allow such a refugee a reasonable period within which to seek legal admission into another country. The Contracting States reserve the right to apply during that period such internal measures as they may deem necessary.

Article 23 - Public relief

The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is accorded to their nationals.

Article 17 - Wage-earning employment
....
2. In any case, restrictive measures imposed on aliens or the employment of aliens for the protection of the national labour market shall not be applied to a refugee...who fulfils one of the following conditions:
(a) He has completed three years’ residence in the country;
....
(c) He has one or more children possessing the nationality of the country of residence.

Article 34 - Naturalization [and getting the right to vote (and buy AR-15s)]

The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall in particular make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings.

https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/convention-relating-status-refugees

Article 44 - Denunciation [getting out from under the Refugee Convention]

1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....

****

What does Trump have to do to get the US out from under the Refugee Convention?

Send (or hand deliver) the Secretary-General of the United Nations a letter!

****

Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations:

I, Donald J. Trump, the President of the United States, on behalf of the United States, do denounce the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as permitted by Article 44.

Donald J. Trump
