U.S. court: Transgender illegal immigrant cannot be deported to Mexico
Reuters ^ | 9/4/15 | Dan Whitcomb

A transgender illegal immigrant who suffered years of sexual and physical abuse in Mexico cannot be deported despite a felony conviction because she is protected under international anti-torture conventions, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Thursday.

In granting Edin Carey Avendano-Hernandez the right to remain in the United States, a three-member 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found that a federal immigration board that ordered her deported had mixed sexual orientation with gender identity.

The justices also disagreed with a finding by the Board of Immigration Appeals that recent anti-discrimination laws in Mexico had made it safer for transgender individuals to live there.

"Country conditions evidence shows that police specifically target the transgender community for extortion and sexual favors and that Mexico suffers from an epidemic of unsolved violent crimes against transgender persons," Judge Jacqueline Nguyen wrote for the 9th Circuit panel.

"Avendano-Hernandez, who takes female hormones and dresses as a woman, is therefore a conspicuous target for harassment and abuse," Nguyen wrote in the 20-page ruling.

These judges need to be removed from the bench.

Yes, I noticed that, and I am wondering what the felony conviction was for. So whatever American citizen he victimised, has less rights than this illegal pervert criminal.

All the while a heroic woman sits in a jail cell in Kentucky for trying to stop this unconstitutional and blasphemous insanity.

A joke.

Our courts are a joke.

NOT laughing, here. Not at all.

Yes, and at the same time officials who allow “sanctuary cities”, which is against federal law no ifs ands or buts, also have gone free for years. Christians better be taking this time to decide whether they will deny their faith and be lukewarm, or be Berean Biblical Christians, because they are not going to be allowed to straddle the fence any longer.

The first paragraph mentions in passing that the guy is a convicted felon. No information on his actual crime, though.

Ninth Circus Follies.
Just imagine if the entirety of the United States was just as stupid, lazy, dishonest, and incompetent as the Ninth Circus, the Obama administration, and the federal government.

....female hormones and dresses as a woman

Send it back to Mexico and tell it to "stop that" if it doesn't want to get beaten up. Can't stay here. Sucks to be "it".

They need to be hung. Time for some olden days justice.

This will probably be deleted, but the truth is out there.

We need a clean sweep of the courts.

From the article:

While in the United States, Avendano-Hernandez was twice convicted of driving under the influence in 2006 and was deported following the second offense, a felony because she and the other driver both sustained injuries.

My question would be "Who's paying for her female hormones?" but I figure I already know the answer to that.

“Mexico suffers from an epidemic of unsolved violent crimes against transgender persons”

Let’s see here: Before the retarded idiot had a sex change operation he/she/it was a queer and was persecuted in Mexico. Then the queer had a sex change operation to change to he/she/it and was persecuted in Mexico and now in the U.S. too.

Now, being an illegal along with some type of horrific “thing” he/she/it is using he/she/it’s status to claim he/she/it is a refugee in the U.S. and is not qualified to be called a criminal illegal and must be protected by the U.S. to prevent he/she/it from being returned to Mexico to enjoy live there once again as a persecuted he/she/it instead of being simply a queer.

Makes sense to me??????

Once again, the Federal’s court has issued a decree. This one decrees that a Mexican Criminal can dress as a woman and stay here.
With early release, he can breed little Democrats.

So any other of the tens of thousands of alien criminals we have in custody, can throw a dress on and avoid deportation??
