Unhinged Judges Look For Ways Around Superior Court Ruling On ICE Detention Policy

In a sane world these judges would be removed from the bench

ICE’s detention policy won at the 5th Circuit. Then judges found another way to reject it.

When a federal appeals court in February endorsed ICE’s unprecedented policy to detain — without bond — thousands of immigrants with established roots in the U.S., the Trump administration celebrated it as a landmark win.

It’s not actually unprecedented, federal law actually says illegals who are caught get a small fine, potential detainment, then deportation

The Feb. 6 ruling by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals cut against the overwhelming rejection of ICE’s new detention policy by federal district courts around the country. And because the 5th Circuit’s rulings are binding on judges in Texas, where a significant share of ICE detainees are held, the decision seemed poised to reverse the tide.

What has played out since tells a more complicated story.

Judges bound by the appeals court’s holding have overwhelmingly continued to reject ICE’s detention policy. Instead of labeling the policy a violation of the law — an interpretation taken off the table by the 5th Circuit decision — those judges have concluded that ICE has violated detainees’ constitutional due process rights, a distinct violation that the appeals court didn’t address.

Due process? “Are you in the US illegally? Yes? Then you are in violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1325 – Improper entry by alien. You’ll be held till deported.”

As a result, judges in Texas and Louisiana have ordered bond hearings or release of ICE detainees more than 1,200 times on due process grounds since the appeals court’s ruling, according to a POLITICO analysis.

That’s nearly 60 percent of all immigration detention rulings in the 5th Circuit since the Feb. 6 decision. The 5th Circuit is now considering whether ICE detainees subject to ICE’s “mandatory detention” policy are owed the due process that these district court judges decisively say they are.

These judges care more about illegals, and their far left beliefs, then actual law and American citizens.

    3% of the current 60,000 in detention have been convicted of a violent felony

    3.9% of the population of the USA have been convicted of a violent felony

    Those judges care more about the time of law than current political beliefs of the radical right

    Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any president

    Migrants are a vital component of our economy and Trump’s economy sucks.

      What an absolute unhinged moron. The percentage of the American population convicted of a felony is completely irrelevant. We’re talking about ILLEGAL ALIENS here. They already committed a crime just entering the US without permission. And no, it’s not just a civil infraction. They can be imprisoned on a first offense. Re-entry after deportation is a CRIMINAL offense. As for the economy, you are also showing your ignorance there. More jobs are being added every month, despite what the nattering nabobs of negativism on the Left say. And all jobs filled since Trump’s return to office have been filled by US citizens, NOT illegal aliens. Stock market is up, oil is down. Brainless zombies of the Left are being prosecuted for their ignorance concerning obeying the law. It’s a great day to be an American! Sucks to be you.

    Mr Teach is mistaken regarding “8 U.S. Code § 1325 – Improper entry by alien”

    8 U.S. Code § 1325

    (a)Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts

    Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.

    (b)Improper time or place; civil penalties

    Any alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of—
    (1)at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or
    (2)twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection.
    Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed.

    (c)Marriage fraud
    Any individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more than $250,000, or both.

    (d)Immigration-related entrepreneurship fraud
    Any individual who knowingly establishes a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, fined in accordance with title 18, or both.

    Most MAGAts ignore the fact that many of their so-called “illegals” requested asylum, that is, entered legally. Note how ICE goons hang out at courthouses to capture “low hanging fruit” – immigrants obeying the laws.

    They’re not “immigrants”.

    The correct legal nomenclature is Foreign National, or Illegal Alien.
