What a Judge Just Ordered Trump to Do Is Beyond Ridiculous

 

 

Should President Donald Trump ignore these rulings from little judges who think they can run the executive? We’re at that point where maybe we should be a little Jacksonian and ignore judicial decisions that we all know to be politically motivated. The soy boy black robes may issue their rulings, but let’s see how they enforce them. The latest clown just ruled that Trump cannot deport violent Venezuelan gang members, even going so far as to order any deportation fights to return to the United States—does a district judge have this power? (via NYT): 

A federal judge on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to cease use of an obscure wartime law to deport Venezuelans without a hearing, saying that any planes that had departed the United States with immigrants under the law needed to return. 

Earlier in the day, the administration published an executive order invoking the law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, to target Venezuelan gang members in the United States. 

But shortly after the announcement, James E. Boasberg, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., said he would issue a temporary order blocking the government from deporting any immigrants under the law. 

In a hastily scheduled hearing, he said he did not believe the law offered grounds for the president’s action, and he ordered any flights that had departed with Venezuelan immigrants under the order to return to the United States “however that’s accomplished — whether turning around the plane or not.” 

“This is something you need to make sure is complied with immediately,” he directed the government. 

Lee Gelernt, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, which sued over the executive order, said in an interview after the hearing that he believed two flights were “in the air” on Saturday evening. 

During the hearing, Judge Boasberg said he was ordering the government to turn flights around given “information, unrebutted by the government, that flights are actively departing.”

 A lawyer representing the government, Drew Ensign, told the judge that he did not have many details to share and that describing operational details would raise “national security issues.”

After the hearing, the government filed an appeal. In a statement late Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the judge had put “terrorists over the safety of Americans” and placed “the public and law enforcement at risk.”

The Alien Enemies Act allows for summary deportations of people from countries at war with the United States. The law, best known for its role in the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, has been invoked three times in U.S. history — during the War of 1812, World War I and World War II — according to the Brennan Center for Justice, a law and policy organization.

By the way, this judge signed off on illegal FISA warrants during the Russian collusion hoax:

Judge Boasberg famously approved FISA warrants that were part of the Russia collusion hoax. Now threatening the legitimacy of the judiciary itself with this ruling. Wild. https://t.co/Y2K6yYHyau

Ignore the ruling. Keep deporting these illegal alien thugs.
