Late Saturday night, the Department of Justice posted in its entirety their legal challenge to an order from M.A. District Judge Brian Murphy blocking the Trump administration from deporting immigrants to third countries.
In the motion, the DOJ argues that the requirement that the Department of Homeland Security provide detainees with the opportunity to challenge their deportations is “burdensome” because the DHS is required to “maintain custody and control” of the detainees and conduct interviews regarding any reasonable fears they may have about being deported to third countries in private at a time of the detainees’ choosing.
According to Rubio, court orders that prevent the Trump administration from deporting people to countries they have no ties to would cause damages such as harming humanitarian efforts in South Sudan. This, as Rolling Stone points out, is an argument that sounds particularly odd coming from the administration that single-handedly decimated USAID. The Trump administration has already deported at least two Asian immigrants to South Sudan in violation of court orders.
The same people who didn't follow due process when they snuck into the country illegaly now cry and whinge they're not getting due process now.
ReplyDeleteYes because they were being chased by gangs and thieves on their way here. You are actually proud that the USA denied people their rights? Go back to Canada and hide under a rock ๐ชจ
DeleteIs it possible to comment without insults? How about courtesy?

The majority of the illegal immigrants coming up from the south are economic immigrants looking for a better life. Yes, they're chased by gangs and thieves and yes, their home countries are a mess but is that America's fault?
DeleteAmerica in case you have forgotten, or as a Canadian never learned, is an country built by.... immigrants. Fault? No. Responsibility? What do you say about the Americans who turned away a ship of Yidden trying to escape the Nazis? America sent them back to the inferno. So apparently you are in support of that too.
DeleteCanada and America were built by immigrants who moved here legally.
DeleteThe Jews escaping Europe were escaping death, not hard economic times. There is no comparison.
Millions of people legally apply to enter the US and take up residence there. By siding with illegals, you make a mockery of those millions who abided by the rules.
Garnel I see you think you can ammend the constitution and decide who deserves to get due processTotal MaGA nonsense
DeleteNo comparison? None of the recent immigrants are running away from death? You must be an all knowing deity i guess.
DeleteMore people get killed in a single weekend in Detroit and Chicago than some entire countries but you don't see those people running.
DeleteAgain, so they live in crappy countries. How does that mean America owes them anything?
Give me your tired, your poor,
DeleteYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door
It's a lovely poem but the US still gets to control its borders.
