Biden Appointee, Liberal Political Activist IMHO, It's Called Shopping For One Biased Federal District Judge, The Case Will Be Settled Upon Appeal, Nothing New Its Expected

There is nothing her bio:

Jennifer L. Thurston - Wikipedia

that warrants the label "Political Activist". When Biden appointed her she was a magistrate judge on the same court for more than a decade, and before that spent more than a decade working for Kern (Bakersfield) County, California as a counsel. I don't know where you get "liberal activism" from that.

The whole point of this thread is that judges across the ideological spectrum and appointed by all recent presidents (including Trump) have ruled against his illegal actions.

Judge rules Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act for deportations 'exceeds the scope' of the law​

Oh, those wily liberals, judge shopping in...

Texas

For some Obama-app...

A Trump-appointed federal judge has permanently blocked the Trump administration from detaining, transferring or removing Venezuelans targeted for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act in the Southern District of Texas -- ruling that the administration's invocation of the AEA "exceeds the scope" of the law.

Judge rules Trump executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie is unconstitutional​

In a 102-page decision, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled in favor of the firm and said Mr. Trump's directive that sought to punish it sent the message that "lawyers must stick to the party line, or else."

"Using the powers of the federal government to target lawyers for their representation of clients and avowed progressive employment policies in an overt attempt to suppress and punish certain viewpoints, however, is contrary to the Constitution, which requires that the government respond to dissenting or unpopular speech or ideas with 'tolerance, not coercion,'" Howell wrote.

She found that the executive order violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution.

Maybe you could address the message rather than trying to shoot the messenger? I know that you will involve you having to read it of course, but it's only 102 pages long. It's a pdf (link in an earlier post) so you won't be able to cut and paste the parts with which you disagree, so just nominate the page numbers and we'll address each point that you make as we go.

So you "evidence" is from a self-admitted partisan hack *for* Trump. Good grief. One of the ways you can tell Mike Davis is a disingenuous hack is his reference to the Mueller investigation. -- The Chief Judge is *ALWAYS* the supervisor of *ALL* grand juries, and Mueller definitely had a grand jury, so *OF COURSE* she would be supervising it. SMH.

Trump Judge Orders White House to Return Deported Venezuelan Migrant (a different one)​

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, who was appointed by Trump, issued an order on Wednesday stating that the man's removal violated a previous court settlement.

Judge rejects DOJ's argument against return of deported Venezuelan man to US​

Attorneys for the Department of Justice say Cristian is a member of the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren de Aragua and argued that because U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued an "Indicative Asylum Decision" last week declaring that Cristian's asylum application would be denied, the order to return him should be dismissed.

"The Indicative asylum decision makes clear that if Cristian asylum application is more or less moot, his claim to asylum is moot," said DOJ attorney Richard Ingebretsen.

Judge Gallagher, however, pushed back on that argument and said the indicative ruling submitted by the Trump administration "prejudges the outcome of the asylum proceeding with no ability for Cristian or his legal representatives to provide any input into the process."

"We don't skip to the end and say we all know how this is going to end up, so there's no point in going through this process," Judge Gallagher said. "We go through the process. People are entitled to that. And there was a process that was specifically bargained for in this agreement."

"Due process is important," she said.

SENTENCE FIRST!

DOGE now breaking into independent agencies. From here: Judge incredulous in Trump deportation case as administration lawyers argue verbal court order isn’t binding – live

Employees of Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” have entered the US Institute of Peace despite protests from the non-profit that it is not part of the executive branch and is instead an independent agency, the Associated Press reports.

Meanwhile, the New York Times reports that Musk’s employees entered the nonprofit “with the help of Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department”, citing a phone call with Sophia Lin, a lawyer for the institute.

Per the New York Times: “Lin said that the U.S. Institute for Peace called the D.C. police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the D.C. police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.”

Judge strikes down DOGE takeover of the U.S. Institute of Peace​

A federal judge ruled that the actions of "illegitimately-installed leaders" — including the purported transfer of the institute's building — were "null and void."

Judge orders Trump administration to retain custody of Asian immigrants removed to South Sudan​

U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy in Massachusetts ordered the administration to keep the individuals within the custody of immigration officials so that they could be returned if the court determined their deportation was unlawful.

“While the Court leaves the practicalities of compliance to Defendants’ discretion,” Murphy wrote, referring to the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi, “the Court expects, that class members will be treated humanely.”

The order was in response to an emergency motion asking Murphy to intervene after attorneys learned two Asian immigrants [from Myanmar and Vietnam] held in detention in Texas, along with nine others, had been sent to South Sudan.

Murphy had already ordered the administration to halt any removal to any third country after it attempted to deport a group of 13 men to Libya earlier this month.

[South Sudan] is engulfed in armed conflict and the world’s third largest refugee crisis, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. As of 2023, 2.3 million people had fled to neighboring countries and 2.2 million were displaced internally.

The Vietnamese man had signed orders to be deported back to Vietnam, according to his spouse.

“The detention centers are overcrowded with inhumane conditions and ICE is sending people anywhere they can to combat overcrowding. This is not right.”

Who are the thugs the Democrats are championing? Here are some details about the men they fight for:

“We are removing these convicted criminals from American soil so they can never hurt another American victim. It is absurd that an activist judge is trying to force the United States to bring back these uniquely barbaric monsters who present a clear and present threat to the safety of the American people,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “We have given the media the names of these monsters. I implore the media to stop doing the bidding of these criminals and to tell the stories of innocent Americans who have been victimized.”

The men are irrelevant. The DHS violated a court order regarding these men that stated they could only be deported to countries on a specific list unless they were given the opportunity to challenge the destination country and make an argument why. The DHS deported them anyway to a non-listed country without allowing a legally required challenge. Not only did they violate a court order (which can result in jail time), but they may have just given cause to invalidate the deportation order. Dumb and lawless. (Just follow the requirements of the final deportation order and they wouldn't have any problem getting these men out of the country.)

The courts need to be cognizant of the separation of powers. The president has a mandate from the people and has been legally elected, not a thousand lower court wannabee dictators. This disastrous situation was created by a lawless government and to this day we don't know who was making the calls for Joe. Sadly there are still those within the Democratic Party who want as many illegals to stay as possible, giving little or no thought to the victims of some of these hardened criminals.

Why in heaven's name don't you understand this?

As I've explained, Supreme Court rulings of the past have made it clear illegals to not get the same "due process" as American citizens. The lack of due process given to Trump and those who support him during the last administration makes it hard for many of these objections to be taken seriously.
