Judge Rules Against Immigration Restrictions

A federal judge made a decision on Wednesday stating that the Trump administration cannot bar immigrants from claiming asylum as they cross the southern border.

Judge Randolph Moss, appointed by Obama, stated that the president “does not have the unilateral authority to restrict the right to apply for asylum for foreigners who are present in the United States.” This comes in light of a declaration referring to a so-called “invasion” at the southern border.

Moss noted that the enforcement department is facing significant hurdles in both preventing illegal entry into the U.S. and dealing with the large backlog of asylum claims. He expressed this in his ruling, saying these issues are pressing. Arbitration.

According to Moss, the Constitution provides the President, or his appointees, certain powers related to the immigration process. He accepted the request to recognize a group of immigrants eligible for Trump’s declaration.

The decision will be delayed for 14 days, allowing the Trump administration time to appeal the ruling.

In an attempt to avoid the Supreme Court’s decision on a national injunction, judges have suggested that on foreign soil (like most of the Earth) potential future unauthorized immigrants are part of a protected global “class” entitled to entry into the United States. https://t.co/iwwd2nddvc

White House Vice Chief of Staff Stephen Miller commented on X, stating, “If our sovereignty is not restored, the West will not survive.”

Miller further highlighted concerns that to sidestep the Supreme Court’s ruling on a national injunction, judges have labeled all potential future unauthorized immigrants (which he notes encompasses most of the planet) as being in foreign territories.
