Judgefare

Excerpt:
This April, the acting director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review issued a memo clarifying the requirement of immigration judges to effectively manage their crushing caseloads by dismissing legally insufficient applications for protection from removal or for asylum.
This is the most significant action taken by any administration to give immigration judges the tools that all other judges have in their tool kit to dismiss meritless cases on their existing dockets and swat away specious claims in the future.
Take the fact that there are over four million pending cases on immigration review docket, and the fact that, in 2022, about 68% of removal and deportation cases resulted in removal orders, and only about 14% of asylum claims were granted. Based on my conversations with immigration chief judges, if immigration judges do their duty, they could trim the existing dockets by up to 70% and could dismiss over 2.8 million cases.
For over six years, we have been urging the Department of Justice and administrations across both parties to give immigration judges the same tools that all state and federal judges have to manage their dockets. The three tools are summary judgment authority, the ability to dismiss a clearly non-meritorious case based on the pleadings (the written paperwork filed with the court), and contempt authority. See here, here, here and here.

Not a week seems to go by without a rogue lower court judge issuing yet another overreaching edict designed to subvert the will of the American people.
On Monday, an Obama-appointed district court judge attempted to block parts of President Trump’s executive orders ending subsidization of programs promoting DEI and radical gender ideology. On June 5, a different Obama-appointed judge handed down an injunction aiming to halt the Trump administration’s prohibition on international students attending Harvard. A week before that, yet another Obama-appointed judge sought to prevent the president from ending a Biden-era “parole” program for foreign nationals living in the United States.
While these “judges” certainly deserve criticism for rubber-stamping leftists’ lawfare, there’s one individual who deserves primary blame for this concentrated effort to cripple Trump’s presidency via a judicial coup: Chief Justice John Roberts.
Over the past five months, rogue lower courts have issued nearly 200 overreaching injunctions and temporary restraining orders attempting to prevent Trump from fulfilling his Article II obligation to execute the nation’s laws. And yet, despite this egregious usurpation of constitutional authority, the Supreme Court’s leading justice has done nothing substantive to stop it.
‘Maryland Father’ Indicted for Smuggling Drugs, Weapons, Illegals and Kids– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:
A federal grand jury in Nashville has issued a searing criminal indictment of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the El Salvadoran in the U.S. illegally whom Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., referred to as “his constituent” and a “Maryland father.”
Garcia may be a Maryland constituent, but he won’t win any Father of the Year awards, according to the indictment. He is accused of being involved for almost a decade in organized human trafficking and arms and narcotics smuggling. This is the person whom Van Hollen went all the way to El Salvador to visit over his “illegal detention” and to demand his return to Maryland.
Garcia was, according to the indictment, a member of MS-13 who conspired with six others to “transport and move aliens” illegally into and throughout the country starting in 2016. These conspirators “facilitated the travel” of illegal aliens from “El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, and elsewhere” and many of those individuals “included MS-13 members and associates.”
Garcia’s job, apparently, was to pick up illegal aliens and gang members in Houston and then move them, which is what he was doing when he got stopped by the Tennessee State Patrol in 2022 while driving a Chevrolet Suburban he did not own. He had an expired driver’s license and there were nine other unrelated male Hispanics with no IDs and no luggage in the car.

Excerpt:
Real constitutional crises are relatively rare in American history. In 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall could have sparked one with his decision in Marbury v. Madison. In it, he deftly asserted that the Supreme Court had the power to invalidate laws or actions it saw as unconstitutional. That assertion didn’t cause a crisis in the fledgling nation mainly because it came in a decision that supported the Jefferson administration, and as such the president was not inclined to protest.
Then of course there was President Franklin Roosevelt’s court-packing scheme in 1937. In 1936, in the face of continuing 5-4 decisions going against his New Deal legislation, FDR’s Attorney General Homer Cummings proffered an idea penned by one of his predecessors in 1914, James Clark McReynolds: for every justice older than 70, a new justice should be appointed. Ironically, in 1936 McReynolds was a 75-year-old associate justice.
FDR’s legislation died in committee, but it would likely not have survived even if it had made it out of committee as it faced a great deal of bipartisan opposition. But it didn’t really matter because Justice Owen Roberts, who had been a thorn in the side of much of the New Deal legislation, joined the leftists in upholding West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish in 1937 and became a relatively reliable New Deal supporter going forward.

It’s riot season again in America. Well, at least in the Democrat run cities, where progressive billionaires fund their progressive activism through progressive NGOs, knowing that a progressive media lacks any self-respect to report honestly. Out in real America (aka the suburbs), we kick back and enjoy the content. Like this Dallas video, where a cop tries to have a conversation with a masked protester. SPOILER: The protester is an imbecile.
Everyone has their favorite genre of content. Some people prefer the outrage over seeing foreign flags flying over a gathering meant to affect American policy. Others go with the looting, where city folks show how much they care about marginalized communities by stealing sneakers made by slave labor from those marginalized communities. We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website? It’s all about what epic failures at life those cosplaying on the ground are.
Kudos to this police sergeant who attempted to reason with Chester the Protester. Chester’s parents should request a refund for his college tuition.
Chester: As long as you feel ok with capitalism, racist, imperialist state.
Sarge: Do you even know what that means?
Chester: Yes b*tch, I’m in college.

Excerpt:
On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced it was processing the family of Mohamed Soliman — the radical Islamist who allegedly set Jewish demonstrators ablaze in Boulder on Sunday — for removal from the country. Then came the order from a rogue judge blocking the administration.
Judge Gordon Gallagher’s two-page order halting the removal of Soliman’s wife and five children — all illegal aliens, according to Stephen Miller — isn’t merely a misapplication of justice. It is a direct assault on the executive branch’s constitutional authority. And if President Donald Trump continues to treat these rogue judicial decrees as legitimate, he not only cedes national security to ideological partisans in black robes — he permits a full-blown constitutional crisis to fester unchecked.
On Wednesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “have taken the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody.”
But within hours, Gallagher issued an order stating the Trump administration “SHALL NOT REMOVE Hayem El Gamal and her five children from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.”

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from deporting the family of Mohamad Soliman, the individual suspected of firebombing a gathering of Israel supporters in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday.
Judge Gordon P. Gallagher’s ruling stated that the administration cannot remove Soliman’s wife and five children from the District of Colorado or the United States pending a ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. “[T]he Court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” the judge wrote.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the family earlier this week and was preparing to deport them before the judge’s ruling, The Hill reported.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to deport the family of Boulder, Colo., attacker Mohamed Soliman’s wife and five children.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the family had been detained in connection with the investigation, saying they would face questioning over whether they had any knowledge of the attack.
But according to a DHS statement Wednesday, ICE was said to be “processing them for removal.”
The statement sheds new light on a White House social media post Tuesday that said the family “could be deported by tonight.”
“Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed’s Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon,” the White House’s post said, along with an emoji of an airplane.

The Founding Fathers worried the judicial branch was “beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power; that it can never attack with success either of the other two.” Yet it seems that in these days of lawfare, the judiciary is quite capable of effectively attacking the other branches of government, particularly the branch headed by President Donald Trump.
A recent lawsuit, filed by the AFL-CIO against the Trump administration, offers the latest example of judicial interference with the executive branch. The lawsuit attacked several federal directives that attempted to reduce the federal workforce and reorganize many executive agencies.
These actions began with Executive Order 14210, issued on February 11, to effect “‘large-scale reductions in force’ (RIFs) and reorganizations.” Trump’s order is completely unsurprising and legitimate.
Republicans have been worried for decades about the size of the federal government. Couple that concern with President Trump’s awareness that partisan actors, working as federal employees, undermine his agenda, and it makes perfect sense that the president would take swift action to reorganize and reduce the size of the executive branch.
In response to President Trump’s order, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent memos to executive agencies, beginning a process of reorganizing and reducing the federal workforce. The memos called for changes to the agencies and the elimination of thousands of executive-branch jobs.

Excerpt:The Supreme Court on Monday decided to hear an election case from Illinois, which promises to clarify the legal standards federal election candidates must meet to challenge state election laws in federal court, according to Judicial Watch.
The case is known as Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, where Representative Mike Bost (R-IL) and two other Republican presidential elector nominees filed a lawsuit against the Illinois State Board of Elections. The suit challenged a state law authorizing the acceptance of mail-in ballots up to two weeks after election day. A district court dismissed the case due to a lack of standing, and the ruling was upheld by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Standing has been a contentious issue since 2020. The plaintiff must meet three requirements to have standing in a federal lawsuit as established by the Supreme Court case Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (1992). They must show a concrete, particularized, and actual or imminent injury, there has to be a causal connection between the injury and the issue brought before the court, and it must be likely that the court’s ruling will redress the injury. The lower courts argued that because Rep. Bost had won the election, he failed to show a personal injury caused by the state election law.

Excerpt:
Jun. 2—AUGUSTA — Gov. Janet Mills has signed a new law creating an annual “day to remember” honoring democracy on the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.
The law, signed Thursday, will require the governor to issue a proclamation each year on the date “honoring the resilience of democracy” and encouraging people to use the day to reflect “on the values of democracy, civic responsibility and the importance of protecting constitutional governance.”
The annual proclamation would also encourage educational institutions and libraries to observe the day with discussions, events and programming to educate people about the importance of civic engagement and the rule of law.
Mills condemned the Jan. 6 attacks at the time, saying that leaders across the country should denounce the violence and defend democracy, and that all Americans should work to restore honor and decency.
After a 3-Judge panel on an obscure court called the U.S. Court of International Trade (located in the heart of DNC-CCP power, Manhattan) unilaterally struck down all of President Trump’s tariffs, the state of Rule of Law in America has now come into doubt. Defying the will of the people, the 3-judge panel decided a 1977 law that clearly gives the President the power to act in the way that he has doesn’t.
Trump’s key economic policy has just been undermined – and the president will be seething | US News– news.sky.com

Excerpt:
This is a huge decision by an obscure Manhattan court. President Trump’s core economic policy has just been comprehensively undermined, he has been undermined, and he will be seething.
Beyond the upending of his policy agenda, the ruling will electrify the deepening schism between the administration and the judiciary, furthering the sense of constitutional crisis in this country.
Donald Trump’s tariffs encapsulate his identity. They are the centrepiece of his economic platform. They are the tool with which he has tried to exert a sense of global authority. They are the levers in his “art of the deal”.
We all remember Trump’s Liberation Day – 2 April. With great fanfare, in the White House Rose Garden, the president revealed a percentage for each country around the world. He had governments, in capitals globally, hooked and wincing.
