DC: A Detroit federal judge ruled Tuesday that the government cannot deport nearly 200 illegal immigrants from Iraq, due to concerns that they could be persecuted if returned to their home country.
U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith found that he had the legal authority to stay the deportations indefinitely while the detained Iraqis appeal their cases in federal court.
In his ruling, Goldsmith said that repatriating the Iraqis would expose them to “substantiated risk of death, torture, or other grave persecution before their legal claims can be tested in a court,” reports Reuters.
If the illegal immigrant Iraqis supported ISIS, I suspect they would experience persecution if returned to Iraq.
However, if they supported ISIS they should not be allowed in the US. Deport them.
Time for Sessions’ DoJ to begin slapping down these rogue Lefty justices who aspire to appointing themselves Acting Co-POTUS.
Lots of mechanisms both judicial, procedural and political to do so.
For starters, every judge should have to pass a full Fed Security Clearance. If they fail–and 50-70% will– they’re automatically disqualified from national policy cases.
Same hack who halted the MI recount just before they were discovering massive vote fraud.
Something that ‘might’ happen to someone in their home country is certainly not the responsibility of American citizens.
This is another judge who had to reach in side his anus to find he can over rule any POTUS whenever he wants. He should be immediately helped to find another occupation or prison cell.
I understand how Mexicans get into the country illegally. How the hell does an Iraqi get in illegally?
Impeach the POS ‘judge’ and remove him from the bench.
“They could be persecuted . . .” – how is this our problem? I don’t care if they are killed.
Not our problem.
I’ll bet the judge has a nice not constitutionally required office he could have taken away. I’m sorry, chamber. And move an Iraqi family in there just for the fun of it all.
If he can do that, I can fire him.
It makes about as much sense.
Another WPOS Obama appointee who should be removed from the bench and disbarred.
“Article III judges can only be removed through impeachment by the United States Congress.”
Congress should make an example out of this douchebag.
Impeach the POS judge and then send him to Iraq.
Tony R, probably illegals due to overstaying whatever cockamamie temporary visa which Obama gave them, and which Obama sought to make permanent by ignoring the expiration dates.
Once these people are out of the US, we have no jurisdiction over or responsibility for what happens to them.
WHY AREN’T JUDGES required to PROVE that such things will happen to illegals if they return? What evidence is there? The word of Akhmed?
Such bullshit.
Deport them to some other Arab country then, not Iraq. Anyway, they need to go, they broke our laws and excuse-making after the fact is irrelevant.
“Congress should make an example out of this douchebag.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Impeach the douchebag, deport them.
