Supreme Court allows Trump asylum restrictions to take effect, ending 9th Circuit injunctions
In a major win for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court issued an order late Wednesday ending all injunctions that had blocked the White House's ban on asylum for anyone trying to enter the U.S. by traveling through a third country, such as Mexico, without seeking protection there.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals – long a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration – handed the White House a partial victory in the case on Monday by ending the nationwide injunction against the asylum policy. However, the 9th Circuit kept the injunction alive within the territorial boundaries of the circuit, which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington.
The Supreme Court's order was not a final ruling on the policy's merits but does allow the policy to take effect nationwide, including in the 9th Circuit, while the case makes its way through the lower courts.
President Trump tweeted that the ruling was a "BIG United States Supreme Court WIN for the Border on Asylum!" The administration had argued in a brief to the Supreme Court that unless the injunctions were totally lifted everywhere, it “would severely disrupt the orderly administration of an already overburdened asylum system.”
Only Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented.
"Once again the Executive Branch has issued a rule that seeks to upend longstanding practices regarding refugees who seek shelter from persecution," Sotomayor and Ginsburg wrote.
They added that they were disappointed the majority failed to exercise "restraint," and instead intervened in the lower-court matter before it was fully resolved.
The White House, however, said the lower court had overreached in an all-too-familiar manner.
“We are pleased the Supreme Court has ruled our Administration can implement important, needed fixes to the broken asylum system," White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said.
"This greatly helps build on the progress we’ve made addressing the crisis at our southern border and will ultimately make American communities safer," Gidley added. "The district court’s erroneous nationwide injunction was another in a series of overreaching orders that allowed a single, non-elected district court judge to override policy decisions for the entire Nation. While there is much more work still to be done, thankfully the Supreme Court took a decisive step here and rejected the lower court’s egregious ruling.”
The DOJ also said the ruling would "bring order to the crisis at the southern border, close loopholes in our immigration system, and discourage frivolous claims."
In a joint statement, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship Chair Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said they were "gravely disappointed."
“Lives will be lost," Nadler and Lofgren said. "This rule will result in those fleeing fear and persecution to be turned away at our doorstep and will only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the [Central American] region. The United States can and must do better.”
>>> First off, take that you piece of shit "Tigar"!! "Injunct" THIS :
Now again, I am pleased with this but I also must ask what Sotomayor and Ginsberg are smoking with their persecution nonsense?
And Nadler says the United States can and must do better?
I have a solution : DEPORT YOUR ASS TO VENEZUELA!
That would immediately have the United States "do better".
