Supreme Court Wednesday allows nationwide enforcement of asylum limits

2019-09-12

SCOTUS to Hack-In-Black Judge John Tigar: "Fuck Off"
[Ay-Pee] The Supreme Court is allowing nationwide enforcement of a new Trump administration rule that prevents most Central American immigrants from seeking asylum in the United States.
Wait til Ruth Buzzy dies off and Trump replaces her
The justices' order late Wednesday temporarily undoes a lower-court ruling that had blocked the new asylum policy in some states along the southern border. The policy is meant to deny asylum to anyone who passes through another country on the way to the U.S. without seeking protection there.

Most people crossing the southern border are Central Americans fleeing violence and poverty. They are largely ineligible under the new rule, as are asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and South America who arrive regularly at the southern border.

The shift reverses decades of U.S. policy. The administration has said that it wants to close the gap between an initial asylum screening that most people pass and a final decision on asylum that most people do not win.

"BIG United States Supreme Court WIN for the Border on Asylum!" Trump tweeted.

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the high-court's order.
OF course
"Once again, the Executive Branch has issued a rule that seeks to upend longstanding practices regarding refugees who seek shelter from persecution," Sotomayor wrote.

The legal challenge to the new policy has a brief but somewhat convoluted history. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco blocked the new policy from taking effect in late July. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed Tigar's order so that it applied only in Arizona and California, states that are within the 9th Circuit.

That left the administration free to enforce the policy on asylum seekers arriving in New Mexico and Texas. Tigar issued a new order on Monday that reimposed a nationwide hold on asylum policy. The 9th Circuit again narrowed his order on Tuesday.
He doesn't learn easy
The high-court action allows the administration to impose the new policy everywhere while the court case against it continues.

Nationwide Injunction Against Trump’s Asylum Ban Lifted Again Tuesday by Ninth Circuit

[LAWANDCRIME] A federal appeals court on Tuesday temporarily rolled back the nationwide injunction preventing the Trump Administration’s asylum ban ‐ requiring any ~~migrants~~ colonists passing through Central America to seek asylum in one the nations they pass through before applying in the U.S. from taking effect.

In response to a "Renewed Emergency Motion" submitted by the Justice Department, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative order granting the government’s request to stay the nationwide injunction put in place Monday night by U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,. Tigar reasoned that a nationwide injunction was necessary because of the need to "maintain uniform immigration policy."

Following Tuesday’s ruling, the administration’s asylum ban will take effect everywhere outside the Ninth Circuit’s jurisdiction ‐ which includes border states Arizona and California, as well as Guam, Idaho Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington ‐ until the appeals court is able to reach a decision on the merits of the case.

#2 ..that would have cleaned out the 9th Circuit years ago (as the most overturned court in the system) prior to Trump cleaning.

#1 There should be a rule: if a judge overruled by a higher court 3 times - out he/she/it goes.
