Thank the gods and goddesses for the third branch - the courts have been really good with this immigration bullshit.
The judicial branch is our only saving grace right now. I guess one silver lining is that Trump has been too inept and/or uninterested in the job to bother nominating judges for all the vacant positions out there. But if Pence gets in there no doubt he’ll start packing the courts with fundie christian RWNJs.
And the Senate has already signaled it’s ready to push them through. That recent item about doing away with the State objection to nominees proves that. It’s just the OSG’s incompetence with nominations that is holding them back on this at the moment.
Yet another reason why it’s hard to stomach the pace of a thorough investigation into all these folks. I know it takes time to do it right, but we don’t have any time to spare.

The government attorney, Matthew Hanson, responded that Rueda was arrested twice, once for trespassing and once for disorderly conduct.
Her attorney, Monika Langarica, said those arrests occurred during peaceful demonstrations to support people in the country illegally. She was charged in only one case and it was dismissed.
“Presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law” is the constitutional standard, you fucking asswipe.
Immigration courts aren’t part of the judiciary, they’re under the DOJ. Jeff Sessions is Judge Garcy’s boss, and presumably he can fire her for what she just did.
We must get this dangerous woman out of our country immediately! She is a threat to fine law-abiding citizens like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions and the entire Trump family! Just reading this article probably forced Vice President Pence to seek comfort from his mother! Damn activist judge!
She couldn’t afford the DACA application fee, so she’s guilty of being poor.
CELEBRATE! YEAH!
We need more immigration judges like this one!
Holy Cow - your tax dollars at work. It looks like an anti-immigration full-employment program underway.
Please, more common-sense judges like Garcy. Best of luck to Rueda (who should run for office when she gets her citizenship).
“Nearly 75 percent had criminal convictions.”
That means that at least 25% were more law abiding than a lot of Americans. In addition, of that 75%, a large number if not a majority were for such infractions as speeding, DWBrown, disorderly conduct, or something else that would get a Caucasian American citizen a small fine or the case thrown out of court. What they were accused of was not a crime against either people or property.
