Judge overturns Trump border rule requiring immigrants to first claim asylum in another country
NBC News ^ | July 1, 2020 | Dennis Romero

A federal court Tuesday night upheld a challenge to the Trump administration's asylum restrictions, specifically a 2019 rule that requires seekers to ask for asylum closer to home.

U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly of Washington, D.C., ruled in favor of immigrant nonprofits and asylum-seekers who argued that the rule known as the "third-country asylum rule," which was jointly published by the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security, violated the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Kelly, who was appointed to the federal bench by President Donald Trump in 2017, agreed that in adopting the policy, the administration did not abide by the federal Administrative Procedure Act, or APA, which requires that Americans be given enough time and opportunity to weigh in on such rule changes.

Wow, by a Trump judge.

But in thinking about it this is a rule, not a law. I know I have complained about many BS GVT rules.

This is about procedure...so we can go back. In the meantime, I believe we have made deals with these other countries and the “rule” isn’t even necessary.

It sure looks like the judge provided a path to slow-walk a new version of the “rule.”

If the process starts over again in response to the judge’s finding, it looks like it pre-empts others from jumping onto another anti-Trump bandwagon.

Note it’s a procedural problem, not the rule. And the rule is based on UN consensus. Might that be a treaty?

This applies only to asylum seekers and 95% or more of them are refused asylum afdter they have their hearings. I see nothing here that changes the procedure forcing the asylum seekers to wait for their hearing in Mexico and not here in America.

Asylum seekers are NOT the same as illegal aliens who illegally sneak over our border. My understanding is that flow has been drastically cut.

Yes - a fact that squishes like to use as an excuse for Congress being absolutely useless in every other imaginable way.

PERSON A: Mitch McConnell NEVER has The President’s back!
PERSON B: But... but... look at the Judges!
PERSON A: The country is burning. Congress hides under their desks.
PERSON B: But, just wait until those Judges get hold of the problem!
PERSON A: They want to blow up Mt. Rushmore and change the name of the White House! Aren’t there ANY congressmen who are willing to stand up to these leftists?
PERSON B: Come on. Be reasonable. It takes a lot of work to vet Judges!

Yeah.. Judges. BS. Think: Roberts and then talk to me about Judges.

And thank God for that. This ruling is fine. It’s the law or at least a rule that must be abide by. Aren’t we always complaining that judges make up there own rules? This one didn’t. You should be happy.

The Administrative Procedures Act is the fig leaf a great many of these judges are hiding behind to stop the Trump Train.

It is what the Roberts used to justify ruling against Trump in the DACA decision and adding the immigration question to the Census.

Much of it is subjective, such as "Did the administration show sufficient reason for changing a rule.

It is the administrative Deep State ruling against the Constitutional powers of the executive branch.

Immigration is in the purview of the executive, not the judicial branch.
Does no one give a Flying Philadelphia F**k about the Constitution any more?

Jeez, Louise.
