The Trump administration scored a court win on Friday as a judge ruled the administration can fast-track immigration cases.
Immigration advocates sued the Trump administration last month, arguing that the asylum process should take “years” to conclude and that lawyers want “at least a year” to prepare for court hearings while applicants remain in the United States, The Daily Signal previously reported.
However, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols of the District of Columbia, a Trump appointee, said in his opinion that immigration law is clear on the timing of cases.
“Immigration judges are directed to resolve cases ‘in a timely and impartial manner’ and, absent exceptional circumstances, should complete administrative adjudication of an asylum application within 180 days after the application is filed,” his 27-page opinion said. He also ruled that plaintiffs “likely lack standing“ in the case.
Plaintiffs accused the Trump administration of having a “Somali fast-track policy,” giving lawyers a compressed timeline of just four months or less to prepare for hearings of Somali asylum applicants. They argued the timeline was “essentially impossible.”
However, Nichols didn’t buy the argument from the Hines Immigration Law firm and the Advocates for Human Rights, both based in Minnesota, which sued the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.

:) That’s right.
Other types of trials go after someone for some reason and if it is proven false, like people in prison for years and then it is proven false. Then the government pays millions of dollars. Our government should get cash from those that try stupid cases.

Something should be done to those that file “nuisance” cases. Marc Elias is upfront about what he is doing. He and his groups are filing cases just to slow down Trump’s agenda.
