WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has blocked restrictive Trump administration policies that prevented some immigrants from seeking asylum due to domestic and gang violence in their home countries.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled on Wednesday that some of the guidance that then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued this year cannot be used to determine whether an immigrant has a credible fear of persecution or torture in his or her home country. That’s the first step to making an asylum claim in the U.S.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued the government over the policy.
The ruling applies to immigrants in expedited removal proceedings. The judge also ordered the government to return any of the deported plaintiffs back to the U.S. and prevent their deportation.
And ordered that those already deported be returned to the US.
Wow.
I’m assuming this will have its implementation blocked and eventually be overturned by the supremes, but still…
Somewhere Tucker Carlson, after hearing this, is scrubbing away at his body with lava soap. Skin raw and peeling, he still does not feel clean.
“So dirty, so dirty…” He weeps, waiting for cleanliness that will not come
This judge evidently received appointments from Reagan, Bush and Clinton. He’s also the judge who will sentence Mike Flynn.
I really like this judge.
Another Democrat judge and witch hunter!
