So this will be emergency appeal number 56 to the Supreme Court?

Quote:A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that migrants can’t be sent to Mexico to await their asylum decisions, dealing a major blow to President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals halted the Trump administration’s Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the “Remain in Mexico” program.

In a 2-1 decision on Friday, the Ninth Circuit upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Immigration and Nationality Act forbids the government from sending asylum seekers over the U.S.-Mexico border.

The decision showcased a partisan divide among the court’s members, with the two Clinton-appointed judges — Richard Paez and William Fletcher — voting to uphold the injunction, while Judge Ferdinand Fernandez — a George H. W. Bush appointee — dissented to the ruling.

The decision serves a major setback for Trump’s border enforcement agenda. The “Remain in Mexico” program has been highlighted by the administration as the single most consequential immigration initiative, helping restore order in a region that was once deemed under a humanitarian crisis.

Launched in January 2019, Migrant Protection Protocols requires non-Mexican nationals who lodge asylum claims with the U.S. government to wait in Mexico until an immigration judge adjudicates their claims. This initiative is intended to weed out fraud, with the idea that those filing frivolous claims are not going to wait months on end at the border before hearing a decision.

Since its inception, the “Remain in Mexico” program has expanded across most parts of the southern border and begun to include other non-Spanish speakers, sending tens of thousands of asylum seekers back to Mexico to await a decision by the U.S. immigration court system.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has seen a substantial fall in migrant apprehensions at the southern border, with CBP officials crediting the administration’s enforcement policies.

In May 2019, at the height of the immigration crisis, CBP officials conducted more than 144,000 enforcement actions. Since that time, enforcement actions have declined for eight straight months, with a low of roughly 36,600 apprehensions and inadmissables for the month of January.

The “Remain in Mexico” program, administration leaders have long argued, has given relief to U.S. immigration officials. However, many immigration-rights activists and other opponents argue it erodes migrants’ due process and places them in dangerous communities in Mexico.

“Today’s decision out of the Ninth Circuit once again highlights the consequences and impropriety of nationwide injunctions. The Trump Administration has acted faithfully to implement a statutory authority provided by Congress over two decades ago and signed into law by President Clinton,” a spokesman for the Department of Justice said in a Friday statement.

“The Ninth Circuit’s decision not only ignores the Constitutional authority of Congress and the Administration for a policy in effect for over a year, but also extends relief beyond the parties before the Court,” the spokesperson continued.

Here we are with the Coronavirus and trying to limit access to the country from people who could be infected, and the courts say you gotta let them in. What could possibly be the reason for this?

Alright dude...I've got to ask...who is on the left in your sig

Brutal. MPP reduced apprehensions by 75-80%. Highly effective. Look for the leftist NGOs to ramp up the caravans again. Hopefully Mexico stops them.

Quote:Attorneys said immigration lawyers had begun demanding that asylum seekers be allowed in the United States, with one insisting that 1,000 people be allowed to enter at one location.

“The Court’s reinstatement of the injunction causes the United States public and the government significant and irreparable harms — to border security, public safety, public health, and diplomatic relations,” Justice Department attorneys wrote.

Dem idiots.

Trump got a bad draw on this one.

No such thing as Obama or Clinton judges

Trump won the appeal, and SCOTUS isn't going to reverse it.

"ACLU attorney Judy Rabinovitz called the suspension of Friday's order "a temporary step."

“We will continue working to permanently end this unspeakably cruel policy,” she said."

Effin liberals don't seem to understand what unspeakable cruelty really is.

Wow how did that happen, was there an immediate appeal in a different court location?

The Court must have realized that opening up the floodgates with people freaking out about Corona would not go over well
