President Trump may have had a DACA setback a couple of days ago, but today he just scored a huge WIN from the SCOTUS.
Last week conservatives were furious with Justice Roberts.
Wonder if that’s how liberals feel today about Notorious RBG? She voted WITH conservatives in order to give President Trump an easier ability to deport migrants.
Whoops!
In a nutshell, what this new ruling means is that President Trump has the power to deport anyone who is seeking asylum without “credible fear of persecution.”
This means people flooding in. here for JOBS cannot apply for asylum and Trump is in the clear to deport them.
This is great “America First” news!
The Supreme Court bolstered the Trump administration’s powers Thursday to quickly remove illegal immigrant asylum-seekers whose applications have been rejected.
In a 7-2 decision in the Department of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam, the court ruled that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act does not violate the Suspension Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
What it means: In effect, the ruling means that the Trump administration has the power to deport people seeking asylum without “credible fear of persecution” if forced to return home and isn’t required to let them make a case to a federal judge.
The case involved a Sri Lankan man, Vijayakumar Thuraissigiam, who was arrested on America’s southern border in 2017. Thuraissigiam was stopped just 25 yards after crossing the border without an entry document and an asylum officer rejected his “credible-fear” claim.
According to court records, the supervising officer and an immigration judge affirmed the immigration officer’s decision and Thuraissigiam was “detained for expedited removal.”
For once Roberts ruled the right way Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer joined Roberts and the four conservatives on the court in the majority opinion. Justices Sonia Sotomayor filed the dissenting opinion and was joined by Justice Elena Kagan.
Hmm. Will the left “cancel” Ruth now?
