Angered that an immigrant mother and her daughter who are plaintiffs in a lawsuit had been deported, a federal judge demanded the administration turn the plane carrying them around and stop removing people from the country who are seeking protection from gangs and domestic violence.

The court ruling came in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. According to a statement by the ACLU, while U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan was hearing arguments in the case, the court learned that the Trump administration had put a mother and a daughter who are plaintiffs in the lawsuit on a flight to Central America.

Sullivan, who had been assured by the government in open court that no plaintiffs in the suit would be deported before midnight Friday, ordered the plane turned around, the ACLU said.

It turned around .... after landing.

[TexasGator]

Article is fake news. No order for plane was issued.

“Sullivan is getting a bitch slapping from the president, justly deserved.”

How so. Order was followed by Trump admin.

“stop removing people from the country who are seeking protection from gangs and domestic violence”

This is NOT a reason for asylum. That is an internal problem of their country of origin. One must really stretch the requirements for asylum in order to make this one valid.

“Asylum has three basic requirements. First, an asylum applicant must establish that he or she fears persecution in their home country. Second, the applicant must prove that he or she would be persecuted on account of one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group. Third, an applicant must establish that the government is either involved in the persecution, or unable to control the conduct of private actors.”

If the government refuses to control gangs and domestic violence, that is not something worthy of claiming asylum. IMHO

So does the president run the country or the judiciary?

At times it’s almost like elections are just for show to make us feel like we have some say in the governing of our country.

[Lurkinanloomin]

These judges need to be reined in.
I don’t know who is going to do it, though.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Until Trump, elections really were just for show.

Vote for D, get non-enforcement and amnesty.
Vote for R, get non-enforcement and amnesty.

We need to send Trump some help, he can’t do this by himself.
WE have to stop voting for Bush League Republicans.

The Mother and child want asylum because her husband was mean to her she thought she was under threat by misbehaving neighborhood kids.- why even give her a hearing

You are 100% correct. I think Obama lowered the standards so asylum now is OK if you claim you have a hangnail.

[fuzzylogic]

Yeah, how is that NOT an executive decision?

[Edward.Fish]

Now look at us: You choose which laws you want to obey and discard the rest. It’s “so-called” civil rights.

It's not even "you", it's some guy wearing a black robe who thinks he's the Fourth Person of the Quadrinity.

If gangs are that bad in those countries we have to let everyone in, it would be more fair to annex those countries and apply law and order.

If their cultures create that much abuse of women, feminists here need to shut up about how oppressive our men are because those nations are clearly worse than ours.
