The injunctions on President Trump continued today.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has stopped the administration from continuing to implement its Remain-in-Mexico policy.
It is no surprise that it was the 9th Circus that made this ruling.
As fast as Mitch McConnell has been pushing judicial appointments, the 9th Circuit is still a circus. The court ruled 2-1 against the administration.
The policy, which was established in January expanded over the summer amid greater cooperation with Mexico, returns migrants to Mexico as they await their hearings, with courtrooms set up at key border points.
The policy ends the process known as “catch-and-release” by which migrants were released into the interior, sometimes for years, until their cases were processed. It was identified as a key “pull factor” in why migrants were flooding the border.
Since MPP was expanded, there has been a dramatic drop in migrants coming to the border. Officials have repeatedly said the policy, along with other international agreements with Central American countries, has been a significant factor in that reduction.
It’s always two steps forward and one step back. The courts have been used to thwart Trump, and therefore the will of the American electorate, at every turn.
The administration will almost certainly appeal this ruling. President Trump has yet to tweet on this ruling.
The Trump administration policy seems quite reasonable and humane. Imagine how liberals’ heads would explode if Trump talked like this Polish Member of Parliament.
If you don’t want to be arrested, if you don’t want to be shot, don’t come to the Polish border.
It’s as simple as that!
