Why? Because Trump is doing this. Seriously, these wackos just reach for reasons to block Trump’s agenda, forgetting that they will be reversed on appeal in most cases
Judge blocks Trump’s broad expansion of expedited removal of migrants
A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from rapidly deporting undocumented immigrants detained away from the border without a court hearing, a setback for its mass deportation agenda.
In a 48-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Jia M. Cobb of D.C. wrote that the administration’s new policy in January to broadly expand a process known as “expedited removal” — which had previously been used to deport migrants detained at or near the U.S.-Mexico border — doesn’t provide adequate due process rights to those detained inside the country.
Cobb, in her ruling in a case brought by civil rights groups, wrote that “in defending this skimpy process, the Government makes a truly startling argument: that those who entered the country illegally are entitled to no process under the Fifth Amendment, but instead must accept whatever grace Congress affords them. Were that right, not only noncitizens, but everyone would be at risk.”
Cobb, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, said she was not questioning the constitutionality of the expedited removal statute and its “long-standing application” in border control. But she said that “in applying the statute to a huge group of people living in the interior of the country who have not previously been subject to expedited removal, the Government must afford them due process.”
Good grief. Are they here illegally? Yes? Do liberals say the first offense is a civil offense? Yes? Does the law state that it is a civil offense for which the penalty is a small fine, possibly a short stay in jail, and deportation? Yes. Just because they aren’t near the border doesn’t make them any less of law breakers. Crazy judges.
Previously, expedited removal had only been used for migrants who were stopped within 100 miles of the border and who had been in the country for less than 14 days. Cobb said Friday that the Trump administration can continue to use the policy in those situations.
Here’s the thing: the Supreme Court has already ruled quite specifically that her ruling can only apply to her little fiefdom in D.C. Beyond that, the Trump admin can simply ignore her order, so, if they want to expeditiously remove illegals from Ohio, they can.

HUD launches crackdown on illegal immigration in public housing: ‘Riding the coattails’
The Trump administration has ordered a nationwide review of public housing in an effort to root out residents who are in the country illegally, according to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner announced Friday.
Turner wrote that each Public Housing Authority has 30 days to conduct an audit to ensure that the existing orders are enforced. The department is asking for information about the public housing units, as well as verifiable citizenship or “eligible immigration status.”
“No longer will illegal aliens be able to leave citizenship boxes blank or take advantage of HUD-funded housing, riding the coattails of hardworking American citizens,” Turner wrote.
The U.S. should not be giving them free housing. Really, though, so many of these policies are also designed to deter illegals from coming to the U.S. And, it’s been working.

New legal term “skimpy process”.
This judge is another one of AutoPen’s nominees.
The goal is simple: to so thoroughly clog the immigration courts that President Trump can’t get a lot of illegals removed before the end of his term. This is why it is vitally important to elect J D Vance as President in 2028.
The goal is simply to assure that residents here are afforded minimal rights. Rather than being kidnapped by masked men and spirited away to prison after prison to be trafficked to a foreign land.
What the nation needs is a comprehensive immigration plan that meets the nation’s needs for workers, that rids us of any non-citizen violent offenders, that tightens the borders to illegal immigrants. White nationalists have the goal of ridding the US of ALL non-caucasians and non-christians.
This is why it is vitally important to 1) stop trump’s election rigging in 2026 and 2) defeat the Just Dancing Vance 2028.
We understand the position of you insurrectionists – extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. You have to end democracy to save democracy by replacing old America with a caucasian, christian, male nation of strict rule followers.
Just another inauthentic repetition of your previous comments.
Pretty weak retort, Rimjob, even for you.
So when trespassers move into Ellie’s house, he should have to go through a slow, painful, expensive court process to remove them, if the courts determine they should be removed in the first place, because they’re now “residents.” And if he finally succeeds in evicting the first round of “residents”, then he can go through the process all over again because another wave of “residents” will have moved in.
Interesting proposition, fop. Irrelevant, but interesting. A stranger in my house has more to worry about than “being removed”.
This from the StL Post…
Do you know what is wrong with that interaction? Not a damn thing! Senor Rodriguez-Cuatianquiz received his due process. We realize that it is time consuming vs just deporting him right away, but that’s the price we pay for civilization.
Oh blow me you sanctimonious twit.
That’s the price others pay but not you.
WE approve of Mr Dowd’s message:
The implication we are supposed to take is that our socialist from the Show Me State would show the strangers in his house with a 9 mm bullet. Are we then allowed to shoot illegal immigrants?
The price we pay for having people enter to destroy our civilization, you mean.
But we absolutely understand what you meant. The left want to clog up the courts with so many clear immigration cases that most escape deportation by being kept in the United States, free on bail rather than being incarcerated, that President Trump’s term expires, and he’s replaced by another weak-minded Democrat who loves him some illegals.
So no due process for the new resident in your house. Got it.
Thank you for proving once again that you don’t believe a thing you say.
It’s actually not a surprise, and somewhat in line with “squatters’ right” that exist in so many liberal states.
This judge has ruled, in effect, that if the illegals manage to get far enough into the United States before they elude capture, they are now ‘residents.’
Try as they might to equate immigrants with burglers, it’s just not true, at least according to the laws.
But we appreciate your efforts, LOL!!
I don’t have a 9mm but rather a 12g 3″ mag with 00 buck which is much more lethal* to an intruder, much less dangerous to anyone next door or in the next room.
Laws allow Americans to forcefully defend themelves and their homes, but laws do not allow Americans to shoot immigrants, even those here illegally. It’s the law!
Congress COULD pass a law permitting the killing of illegal immigrants, but the Supreme Court might intervene.

* Actually, lethal is lethal. The shotgun is more LIKELY to be lethal than is the 9mm pistol.
Laws also do not allow Americans to shoot residents in their homes, right ED? But yet you seem hellbent on shooting strangers peacefully residing in your home.
It’s like you don’t believe a word you type. Go figure.
Keep reaching, FOP, keep reaching! LOL.
We have laws to cover all your concerns! Local, state and federal laws. No one law covers everything. Are you suggesting I call ICE to come get my intruder and have them air mail him to Uganda? That may not solve my immediate problem.
Mr Remington would prove more helpful.

Fortunately, Mr Dowd lives west of the Mississippi River at his latitude, not east, because were he in blue-state Illinois, the law might not look so kindly upon him forcefully defending himself and his home.
Different states have different laws, but the ones with the sensible self-defense laws do tend to vote Republican. In some places, doing as Mr Dowd has suggested will get you locked up!
Why shouldn’t illegals be treated as burglars? They broke into our house! If the police catch the guy who broke into your house, he doesn’t get to stay in your house until his trial!
Like the perfesser, Mr Dana equates immigrants with home invaders, but the laws differ between the two classes. The law is the law.
He is correct that laws vary by state regarding the use of deadly force to defend your home. For example, even here in right-wing MO, a 16 yr black kid was picking up siblings but knocked on the wrong door and was shot and killed by the octogenarian homeowner. The shooter pleaded guilty to 2nd degree assault but died awaiting sentencing. A win-win except for the dead kid.
I rarely answer the door to strangers (they’re mostly peddling something – new windows, new roofs, new cable/streaming service etc). If they knock and then try to break down the door, we will address that on a case by case basis.
