Three years in and they’re finally getting serious about The Resistance.
We needed to get federal judges in place, else nothing would ever get accomplished
Second term will be more effective, I think
> “Three years in and they’re finally getting serious about The Resistance.”
No, not three years. The effort to deport violators began immediately but has been impeded by liberal federal judges issuing nationawide injunctions against the DOJ. President Trump has ikept his promises and has never stopped the effort to enforce his executive orders and the federal laws behind them
March 2018
DOJ sued California, Jerry Brown, and Xavier Becerra over three state laws passed in the previous months claiming the laws made it impossible for federal immigration officials to do their jobs and deport criminals who were born outside the United States.
DOJ charged the state laws unconstitutional asking a judge to block them claiming the state laws “reflect a deliberate effort by California to obstruct the United States’ enforcement of federal immigration law.”
The Trump administration had previously released a list of immigration principles to Congress including funding a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a crackdown on the influx of Central American minors, and curbs on federal grants to sanctuary cities. A pledge to strip “all federal funding to sanctuary cities”, a key Trump campaign theme was followed by President Trump issuing an executive order declaring jurisdictions “refusing to comply” with 8 U.S.C. 1373 on information sharing between local and federal authorities—would be ineligible to receive federal grants.
Thirty-three states introduced or enacted legislation requiring local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE officers and requests to hold non-citizen inmates for deportation. Some states and cities responded by not cooperating with federal immigration efforts
California openly refused to “clamp down on sanctuary cities”.
A federal judge in San Francisco agreed with two California municipalities that a presidential attempt to cut them off from federal funding for not complying with deportation requests was unconstitutional ultimately issuing a nationwide permanent injunction against the claimed unconstitutionality of the order.
In Chicago a federal judge ruled the Trump administration may not withhold federal funds to sanctuary cities.
July 2018
A federal judge upheld California’s Sanctuary laws.
July 2019
A federal appeals court overturned a nationwide injunction issued in 2018 year by a federal judge in Los Angeles.
**************************************************
The Trump Administration has been stopped time and time again by liberal federal judges issuing injunctions.
President Trump’s response has been to never give up and to replace liberal judges with judges that follow the law as written and intended. His efforts have been relentless and widespread. The number of judges replaced and ongoing are unprecedented. His efforts to reform the judiciary have been so effective that even the most liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California has been flipped.
Bitch, bitch, bitch
