Federal Court in Florida BLOCKS Biden Regime from Releasing Illegal Aliens from Border Patrol Custody Without Court Notices

 

It’s a two week restraining order but I will take that for now. Good luck America. 

A federal judge in Florida signed a document that blocked the Biden regime from releasing migrants from Border Patrol custody without court notices.

Here we go:

The decision comes after the Biden regime sent out a lawless memo allowing illegal invaders to run wild inside the country on parole.

 

On Thursday, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden regime to stop the mass release of illegal immigrants into the United States after the Title 42 public health order expires.

Moody is requesting a temporary restraining order to prevent the anticipated influx, claiming that Biden’s current parole policy is identical to one that was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge last month, according to New York Post.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed its opposition in response to Florida’s request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) on Thursday.

 

On May 10, 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a policy on parole with conditions in limited circumstances prior to the issuance of a charging document.

The argument that the border is broken falls flat after Trump showed that what we had in place worked. If the Biden clan thought that this chaos was going to force the GOP to cave in creating citizenship for millions, let’s see.

Supreme Court Rules Thousands of Immigrants Can Be Detained Indefinitely

The Supreme Court decisions that came down on Monday were important ones including immigration. Although not the “Big One” still important wins. Especially when we look at the breakdown of the vote. We may get discouraged with the courts, yet looking back at the Obama years, the Supreme court did not embrace leaving the constitution in the dustbin especially regarding immigration then either. Even with Obama’s two picks on the court.

The latest:

SCOTUS Rules Against Migrants’ Rights To Bond Hearings In Detention

Here's the opinion from Samuel Alito in Garland v. Aleman Gonzalez: https://t.co/E2jHLno450

— SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) June 13, 2022

Time:

The Supreme Court ruled that illegal aliens detained for six months don’t have the right to a bond hearing for release in a decision released Monday.The decision addressed two separate cases involving three illegal aliens, two of which were Mexican nationals that entered the U.S. illegally after being previously deported. After they were detained, they filed a putative class action for a bond hearing after six months of detention.

A decision that means that the thousands of people with open immigration cases who are currently in federal holding facilities can continue to be detained indefinitely.

The high court also ruled that federal courts lack the authority to grant class-wide relief to detainees. In other words, if any detainees want to argue in the future that they have a right to a bond hearing, they will need to bring their cases individually, despite the fact that immigrants are not entitled to counsel during immigration proceedings.

In 2020, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled detainees are entitled to a bond hearing. Because Garland was brought as a class action lawsuit, the Ninth Circuit granted class-wide relief and extended the right to a bond hearing to every person named in the suit.

On Monday, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit, ruling that detainees are not entitled to such a bond hearing and cannot be granted relief on a class-wide basis. Going forward, those asserting a right to a bond hearing, either on statutory or Constitutional grounds, will have to bring their cases individually.

The court ruled 8-1 in Johnson v. Arteaga-Martinez on the question of bond hearings, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing the majority opinion and Justice Clarence Thomas filing a concurring opinion which Justice Neil Gorsuch joined in part. Justice Stephen Breyer also filed an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part. In Garland v. Aleman Gonzalez, on the question of class-wide relief, the court ruled 6-3, with Justice Samuel Alito writing the majority opinion. Justice Sotomayor filed an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part which Justice Elena Kagan joined and Justice Breyer joined in part.

Will Biden get the message?

Last year June of 2021 the supremes were of the same mind set regarding immigration. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously against a couple seeking permanent residency after fleeing El Salvador and gaining temporary protected status in the United States. Now all we have to do is get the administration to follow the law.

The Court has made it clear- restraint in government overreach. Looking back:

Flashback: Bunkerville in June 24, 2016:

Supreme Court slaps Obama down again, 23 unanimous decisions against him

…Obama had to admit his immigration bonanza is on hold. This latest loss doesn’t count all of the cases of Obama over reaching that never makes it to the top court. Stunning the number of unanimous decisions that went against him.That includes his two picks now on the court. Info below is from two Cato posts:

It has the worst record of any modern presidency, whether you count in absolute won-loss..

In the first 6.5 years of Obama’s presidency (January 2009 to June 2015), the government lost unanimously at the Supreme Court 23 times, an average of 3.62 cases per year.

And that record has only grown in the last few months. This week the government suffered its fifth unanimous loss of the year – matching its dubious achievement in 2013 with 25 cases still left to be decided – in a property-rights case in which Cato filed an amicus brief, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers v. Hawkes Co.

Earlier this year, I documented the Obama administration’s abysmal results before the Supreme Court (the two Obamacare cases excepted). Not only is its overall winning percentage much worse than any other modern presidency, but its spate of unanimous losses is truly record-breaking.

These cases have nothing in common, other than the government’s view that federal power is virtually unlimited: Citizens must subsume their liberty to whatever the experts in a given field determine the best or most useful policy to be. If the government can’t get even one justice to agree with it on any of these unrelated cases, it should realize there’s something seriously wrong with its constitutional vision.

It’s an Invasion: One Million Invade USA Illegally

 

Invasion

by Mustang

Beginning on 18 September 1931, the Kwantung Army of Japan began its invasion of Manchuria.  Ultimately, the invasion force numbered 60,000 men.  It was a de facto illegal assault upon the sovereign territory of China.  More recently, ONE MILLION people from Central and South America, India, China, and East Africa invaded the sovereign territory of the United States.  No, they weren’t carrying firearms (at least, most of them weren’t), but an overwhelming number did carry a more lethal weapon: a Chinese manufactured virus.

Japanese troops marching into Mukden on 18 September 1931

The world turned against the Japanese in 1931.  More recently, Democrats/Progressives have pushed back against using such words and phrases as “invasion” and “illegal alien.”  No, they argue, these people are simply unauthorized immigrants.  Really?  Sixty-thousand is an invasion, but one-million people doing the same thing (that is, illegally invading a sovereign country) is something other than an invasion?  The projection of these invaders through the end of 2021 is around TWO MILLION.

 

Here’s what else we know: illegal aliens from Mexico are no longer the majority of illegal aliens.  About 4.9 million illegal aliens from Mexico live in the United States, but there are 5.5 million illegal aliens from Central America, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.  These diverse peoples have in common that they all accessed the United States (illegally) through the southern border.

 

My friend Bunkerville reminds us that if we wish to discover answers, follow the money.  So, let’s do that.  Estimates on how much money is sent south each year ranges between $10 to $30 billion annually.  This is the money 10 million American drug addicts feed to the Mexican/Central American drug cartels.  How much money is being made from human trafficking?  That is, people illegally transported to or across the US southern border (with the tacit support of Joe Biden/Kamala Harris and the US Congress)?  Answer: $150 billion/annually.  The invasion is a money maker.  Best of all, though, from the standpoint of the businessman who makes his money from illicit drugs, decreased drug activity equates to an increase in drug prices.  Less risk/more profit.

 

The American people are now (and have always been) at the mercy of the junta in this country.  Currently, that is Biden/Harris/Pelosi.  So, the question I have is this: do you NOW understand that elections have consequences?

About this thing called immigration

Since we’ve been talking about immigration ..

by Mustang

US immigration is unnecessarily complex. It has evolved into a patently unfair system to everyone who enters the system honestly and with good intent — who seeks lawful admission.  It favors those who skip ahead of everyone else and go to the head of the line.  US officials created this problem; illegal invaders only take advantage of an opportunity handed to them by political leaders who are either nefarious in their intent or incompetent.  You know, people like Biden/Harris whom the American people overwhelmingly elected. If our immigration system is broken, then we broke it.

This must change.  No one has a right to come here, but if immigrants knock on our door, it must be in accordance with our laws and procedures.  Yes, we need a border wall, but we also need a commitment to our immigration system.  No one must come here by cutting in front of the line.  No one must come here who cannot contribute to the American economy, who will not embrace American values, and who will not assimilate American society.  No “child” must come here without their mother or father.

“Children Without Borders” by qgil is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0

There is no question that the United States of America is the best place on the planet to live, but does that mean that everyone who lives in a nation less vibrant than our own has a case for political asylum?  If everyone who lives in a country ruled by petty dictators or religious despots has an asylum claim, then literally two-thirds of the world’s population will soon show up at our door.  There ARE limits, after all, to the number of immigrants our economy can support.  People who do not/will not speak our language, who are not educationally prepared for the challenges of our economy, and who know less about our values than they do about speaking in English simply do not have a realistic expectation of success.  Note: most Latin Americans are illiterate in their own language. At some point, we must acknowledge that there are (pragmatically) limited opportunities for goat-herders-turned taxi drivers in Newark.

Although with that said, from a historical point of view, the cultural differences between Spanish and Anglo immigrants could not be more unambiguous.  I can readily see why Democrats are anxious to accept tens of thousands of Latinos as potential citizens: they are far more inclined to do whatever the government tells them than people of British stock. It also occurs to me that for every individual who runs away from their own country, whatever those conditions are, there is one less person available to fight for meaningful change in the land of their birth and cultural heritage.

Secretary Mallorcus told us that Cubans must not be allowed to come to the United States.  Shouldn’t this standard apply to every immigrant who is trying to jump ahead in line or who files a frivolous petition for asylum?  Should we return all such people to their home country (or, as he suggested, a third country) until US officials process their claim in an orderly fashion?  Note: I’m not sure how French-speaking Haiti would be a good fit for immigrants from Guatemala, but that was his idea, not mine.  I suspect there are few Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas willing to accept Guatemala’s problems.  Nor should we.  What we observe unfolding along our southern borders is only a “humanitarian crisis” because we’ve made it into one.

Sending people back to their home country for processing reinforces the traditional process of putting the names of people hoping to immigrate to the US on a waiting list … which is the only way we have of properly vetting applicants for admission to the United States.  There is an exception to every rule, of course, but exception must not become the rule.  We must maintain an orderly process of immigration.

Notice that tens of thousands of people, having spent their entire lives living in a communist/socialist country, suddenly appear on our southern border demanding entry to a country in which half of the population can support a communist/socialist administration.  Is this not an example of politically compliant people trying to leap from a frying pan into a fire?  I find the whole situation very odd, and I wonder why we Americans think we need more communists in our country rather than fewer.

Sanctuary – the danger of civil disobedience

 

We started out with sanctuary churches for illegals, then wholesale cities to States. We have included protecting illegals to those using marihuana. Conservatives are getting into the act now claiming the Second Amendment with gun control as their right to using State sanctuary of counties and towns for the use of this new found “right.” Police authorities claim they will not enforce the rule of State laws.

Mustang gives us his take on illegal use of “Sanctuary” and its impact regarding illegal immigration. Just where will this new found “Right” take us? How far will it go?

Why Sanctuary?

by Mustang

In law, “sanctuary community” has no standing because in the United States, no one is above the law.  No state may refuse to obey federal laws in matters constitutionally assigned to federal authority.  No community within a state has the right to ignore federal authority.

When communities declare themselves sanctuary entities, they are in effect exercising a kind of civil disobedience, which may be (and should be) punished under the law.  Under American law, there is no legitimacy attached to civil disobedience —no matter what arguments may be used to justify it by law breakers.

But the issue has taken on a new dimension.  Not only do civil administrators declare their intent to ignore federal law, they produce writs that prohibit constitutionally sworn police officers from obeying federal laws, as well.  It is a dangerous conspiracy that threatens the United States, its several states, and communities within those states.

Cloward and Piven at the Motor Voter signing law

I believe that “conspiracy” is the correct word for what is happening in the United States today.  A refusal of obey federal law with respect to immigration appears related to the so-called Cloward-Piven strategy devised in 1966, the purpose of which was to overwhelm the lawful exercise of federal power to such an extent that federalism fails; a situation in which the federal government can no longer execute its Constitutional authority or mandate.

Sanctuary cities may not be the most important issue facing the Department of Justice, but if one believes that illegal immigration has reached the point where it imposes a clear and present danger to the security of the United States, its several states, its thousands of communities, then the federal government must act to settle this issue permanently.

Let’s recap:

• Illegal immigration is illegal.
• Illegal immigration is a burden to lawful citizens in terms of taxes, infrastructure, access to policing, medical treatment facilities, public education, and community services.
• Illegal aliens pay less in taxes (sales taxes, etc.) than they receive through state and local services (Source: Congressional Budget Office).
• The presence of illegal aliens poses a significant risk to lawful residents in terms of violent crimes, drugs, drunk drivers, community health and sanitation.

On 9 January 2020, Ms. Maria Fuentes, aged 92, a citizen of Richmond Hill, Queens, New York, was brutally raped and murdered at the intersection of Liberty Avenue and 127th Street in Richmond Hill by 21-year old Reeaz Khan, an illegal alien from Guyana.  Reeaz was roaming the streets of New York City despite a federal order for his deportation for prior assault and illegal weapons charges.

He was roaming free on the streets of New York City because the New York City Police Department refused to honor a federal retainer request.  Quite naturally, the NYPD now claims that they never received such a request from federal law enforcement agencies.

The evidence of this particular case shows that Reeaz Khan pounced upon his 92-year old victim from behind, throwing her to the ground, sexually assaulting her, and then ran from the scene of his crime.

This illegal alien has now been charged with seven charges, including second degree murder, first degree manslaughter, first degree attempted rape, first degree sexual assault, and tampering with physical evidence.  Reeaz claims that he came upon the woman, found that she was passed out, and tried to render aid but in the process, his pants fell down and his genitals came in contact with hers.  I hope he has a masterful attorney.

DHS Acting Secretary Chad Wolf observed that New York City is in a state of complete breakdown of law and order and blames this partly on New York City’s sanctuary policies.  Wolf said, “NYC proudly passed sanctuary city laws and bragged about it for months.  But now the citizens of NYC are facing the deadly consequences of these sanctuary policies.

In 2019, New York City experienced 300 murders, an increase of 8% over the murder rate of 2018.  Maybe sanctuary policies aren’t working as well as everyone on the left claims.  Nor should we forget the senseless murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco, California —the home of Democrat Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Sanctuary is not a new concept.  In times past, the word refers to a wide range of protective measures that may be taken by communities on behalf of those who residents believed deserve protection.  Lately, though, we have taken the word sanctuary and added to it the word community, but in the absence of any statute that defines sanctuary city, we find the notion somewhat confusing.

In law, “sanctuary community” has no standing because in the United States, no one is above the law.  No state may refuse to obey federal laws in matters constitutionally assigned to federal authority.  No community within a state has the right to ignore federal authority.

All the times the Democrats said they were against illegal immigration – video

 

All the times the Democrats said they were against illegal immigration. Then they figured out apparently the illegals would be a new and better voter block than Black Americans who were already in the bag for them.

When will Blacks figure out they are being sold out for the Mexican vote?

Mexico reinforces border checks amid US pressure – video

 

This no less from ABC news and the AP. What congress refuses to do, Trump has twisted enough arms in Mexico to have at least this one feel good story for a Monday.

Mexican authorities increased immigration enforcement along well-traveled routes for migrants in southern Mexico over the weekend, checking identifications, pulling migrants off public transport and intercepting four trucks packed with nearly 800 migrants.

The National Migration Institute said 1,000 immigration agents had been deployed in the north and south of Mexico. The deployment comes as Mexico faces heightened pressure from the U.S. to reduce the surge of mostly Central American migrants through its territory.

Mitch McConnel Refutes President Trump: Closing Border Would Have Catastrophic Impact on Country

 

What has become abundantly clear, the GOP and Congress  will do nothing to help Trump these last two years. McConnell in particular has set his mind that no attempt to work on Obamacare will happen. Worse, nothing will be done to secure our border. While I am at it, Mexico can take their avocados and shove them. Let them rot in Mexico. By the way, are we still fixing Mexican trucks so they can meet our EPA emissions standards and roam around with the avocados? Just asking.

Did the Dems ever do something like this to Obama? One thing one has to say for Pelosi and her tribe, they remained loyal to Obama. No caterwauling from them. These Republicans in Congress are despicable.

In March 100,000 illegal immigrants invaded the southern border. Immigration services are overwhelmed.

These are the Senate Republicans who voted against President Trump’s border emergency declaration:

• Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
• Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah
• Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine
• Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska
• Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
• Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah
• Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
• Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.
• Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio
• Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.
• Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
• Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

 

 

You can take those avocados and shove them. Mexico too.

Mexican Avocado Prices Explode By Most In A Decade After Trump Border Threat

 

More fake news and who cares.

“You couldn’t pick a worse time of year because Mexico supplies virtually 100% of the avocados in the U.S. right now,” Barnard told Reuters.

“California is just starting and they have a very small crop, but they’re not relevant right now and won’t be for another month or so.”

However, while it’s all very exciting, the surge has pushed avocado prices up to the same level they were at in 2017 at this time of year…

And while I am on a tear, are we still fixing Mexican Trucks so they can roam America with those avocados?

Mexico Trucks rolling across America – U.S. pays for upgrades

October 23, 2011

In the latest effort to accommodate its cherished trade partner in the south, the U.S. government is paying to upgrade outdated Mexican trucks that hemorrhage illegal amounts of exhaust on their trips north to deliver merchandise.

Since the Mexican truckers have no intention of fixing the problem, Uncle Sam has stepped in to save the environment. U.S. taxpayers have picked up the cost to replace old mufflers on dozens of trucks and many more are scheduled to be upgraded by the middle of this year. The unbelievable story was reported this week by an Arizona newspaper that says replacing the old mufflers with new catalytic converters will reduce harmful diesel emissions by up to 30%.

From earlier posting from Bunkerville: Mexican Truckers say they cannot meet U.S. EPA Standards

Mexican government says it will ease its trade sanctions against U.S. imports only after its trucks are allowed to cross the border.

Sanctions? Juan really…

Juan Carlos Munoz, president of Mexico’s National Chamber of Motor Transport of Freight, said Mexican trucks cannot meet U.S. environmental emissions standards, which effectively shuts them out of the market.

While you were asleep the 9th circuit declared ‘Open Borders”

 

For any GOP Senator who cannot get their act together and support Trump’s Executive Order regarding funding the border, take a look at what the 9th circuit did last week. We have Open Borders now. And it is here. Well worth the full read guys in case you missed what happened.

 

Congress could never get away with creating constitutional rights for illegal aliens to remain here, yet a single lower court just did so on Thursday. And where Congress would face deep reprisal in the next election, faceless judges will never feel the heat.

Conservatives fear that extreme Democrats might actually abolish ICE and all immigration enforcement, but the lower courts are already systematically abolishing ICE’s authority, nullifying immigration enforcement statutes, violating separation of powers, and constantly increasing the wave of bogus asylum-seekers that they originally spawned with other radical rulings.

The latest ruling from the Ninth Circuit demonstrates that unless Republicans and the president begin pushing back against these radical judges and delegitimizing their rulings, Democrats will get everything they want without ever facing electoral backlash or even the need to win elections.

It’s truly hard to overstate the outrageously harmful effects of Thursday’s Ninth Circuit ruling. For the first time in our history, the courts have fabricated a constitutional right for those denied asylum to appeal to federal courts for any reason.

Here’s the background.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants are flooding our border, claiming the formula of “credible fear” of persecution. They get to stay indefinitely while they ignore their court dates in immigration court. Because of an amalgamation of several prior activist court rulings, mainly by this very circuit, roughly 90 percent of credible fear claims are approved by asylum officers and the claimants shielded from deportation, even though asylum status is ultimately rejected almost every time by an immigration judge.

Unfortunately, by that point it’s too late for the American people, who are stuck with the vast majority of these claimants remaining indefinitely in the country.

Yet rather than ending this sham incentive, the Ninth Circuit drove a truck through immigration law by asserting that there is now a constitutional right for even the few who are denied initial credible fear status and are placed in deportation proceedings to appeal their denials, not just to an administrative immigration judge but to a federal Article III judge for any reason.

Democrats don’t want ICE notified when illegals try and buy a gun

 

Oh this should work out swell. Not enough that it’s open border time. Let’s be sure and give them a bonus card for being too stupid to try and sign up for a gun. By the way, I wonder just why our newly minted illegals would want a gun? Any ideas folks?

 

As the debate over illegal immigration continues to rage, Democrats continue to prove they are proponents of open borders and lawlessness.

The latest example comes from Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, who is berating Democrats for protecting illegal aliens who attempt to purchase firearms and fail a background check.

From Gaetz Tweet:

Democrats in the Judiciary Committee just voted against notifying ICE when an illegal alien fails a background check to buy a gun. They hate ICE so much that they’d keep ICE in the dark when illegals try to get guns!

 

Town Hall

The FBI this year has barred a record number of cases of illegal immigrants from buying guns, according to a new report of background checks.

The National Instant Criminal Background Check System listed 7,836,600 “illegal/unlawful alien” as of 2018.

That number has been increasing in recent years.

Illegal immigrants rank at the top of those on the FBI’s “prohibited category.”
