Discussion: Court Orders Trump Admin To Give Asylum-Seekers Fair Parole Hearings

1 Like

I’m worried about how long the courts can keep counterbalancing the unlawful behavior of the Trump administration - but this is good for now.

Again, unwarranted cruelty and racism. There is no reason for this but it is the Trump administration. Asylum seekers are bad people -criminals. Keep them in jail. Thank God for the ACLU.

One plaintiff, Ansly Damus, is a former ethics teacher fleeing politicalpersecution in Haiti, who has been detained without parole for more than a year and a half, despite asylum officers determining he had a credible fear of returning to his home country.

Paroling people that haven’t been convicted of anything only makes sense … in Trumplandia.

It would be nice if trump and folk came up with a plan to reunite families.
It would be nice if trump and folk acted like this was a democracy and not an autocracy.
It would be nice if trump didn’t pork porn stars. And then lie about it.
It would be nice if trump were a faithful husband and decent father. But that’s a pipe dream.
It would be nice if trump didn;t jail babies!
It would be best if he just would slink back into his fetid stinking hole and stay there.

She fried his ass, which I appreciate, but the smell of rancid bacon is an unwelcome side effect.

“uniformly denying parole to asylum-seekers who have passed their “credible fear” interview”

“No problem judge. We’ll just change the policy standards for “credible fear” so that they can’t meet the standard.”

By jove, you’ve got the policy of the Trump administration down to 20 words or less.

Good effing grief. He does this with the OFFICIAL White House Twitter account? The man has no effing ethics or class.

I’m actually surprised they haven’t needed to be ordered to provide food and water —

God Bless You, Senator, for keeping on message.

This is NOT about immigration, legal or otherwise.

It is about child abuse by Trump and his soulless minions.

The “Government has…violated the Administrative Procedure Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment” in it’s handling of asylum seekers.

So now for those who previously claimed that laws are more sacrosanct than life itself, let’s see if they express as much outrage and indignation at this violation of the law as they did toward the children whose rights the government violated. Or whether they instead concoct excuses for why it’s fine for these children to be illegally abused.

They learned that little trick in the “literacy test” for voters in post-Bellum Dixie.

Kamala Harris just destroyed Trump. Harris/Brown, Brown/Harris, either way that ticket wins 55% of the PV and well over 300 EVs.

The courts have been doing right by the rule of law and the Republic (Not SCOTUS, however). I believe the Administration is going to stonewall and simply refuse to abide by a court order. The public pressure that ensues with support from Court actions will eventually cause DHS to collapse as a functioning Gestapo arm of Trump’s racist policies. It will take some time (I said about 1 month from when this first became a nationwide crisis). I think some people will get relief within that month, but the Trumpers will draw things out as long as they can until the election.

I looked at it as more of a nod from one dictator to another than racism. Either works though. Let’s just put a stop to it whichever it may be.

Sorry to be obtuse but which Brown with Harris?.

I’d vote for Kamala Harris any day of the week.

Sherrod Brown - Kamala Harris, or Kamala Harris - Sherrod Brown. That’s the winning ticket.
