Why don’t they return home together?
DC: A federal judge in California will allow a Congolese migrant’s lawsuit challenging the federal government’s practice of separating families for immigration detention to proceed.
U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw of San Diego issued the ruling late Wednesday, finding the policy may violate the Constitution. The decision is not a ruling on the merits of the dispute.
“In the most forceful language, the court rejected the Trump administration’s claim that the Constitution permits it to engage in the inhumane practice of tearing little children away from their parents,” said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the America Civil Liberties Union’s immigrants’ rights project. The ACLU organized the lawsuit and serves as counsel for the lead plaintiff, a Congolese immigrant identified in court papers as “Ms. L” who arrived in the United States with her 6-year-old daughter on Nov. 1, 2017.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) asked the court to dismiss the case on procedural and jurisdictional grounds. They also argued the separation of families for immigrant detention does not violate federal statutes or the Constitution. more here
Is our constitution written for all people of the world? I don’t believe the founding fathers were intending to make the entire planet a free republic.
Out of control judges just when McConnel has begun dragging his feet getting more approved.
This moron judge needs to read the preamble to the Constitution. It was not written for illegal aliens. It is written for us and our decendents.
“tearing little children away”??? Oh boo fuckin’ hoo. From the Congo, eh? How about a ride back there, all together? The balls on them wanting amnesty AND bitching about HOW they want to be treated after they came in illegally.
Judge is a moron, for the reasons stated here.
ACLU. Formed by communists to achieve communism. Still working to destroy this country, one legal case at a time.
When a computer (our Republic) has been infected by too many glitches and viruses (rogue courts, politicians, illegal invaders, SJWs, on and on…) there is only one way to return it to a functional state of operation. A complete erasure of data and then a total system recovery from the ground up (Civil and societal reset) is the final option.
Think maybe it’s time??
Where was this judge when O’Bobo was in the white hut? ICE did the same darn thing. SPLC is behind this.
It’s a plot, I tell you.
Who was the corrupt, far left, progressive President that put this liberal on the Bench! How did we elect such a disingenuous far left liar President?
We did it. We have only ourselves to blame. Leftist President put progressives on the Bench; always have.
Some illegal criminal invader dickhead from shithole Congo gets to sue the federal government! Now we see what corrupt anti-American judges can do to the sanctity of this country!

Do we get to keep all our dancing cat videos? And our contact lists. Oh! And our logins. Ooh! And when Geek Squad comes to our house to do the “reset” will they be sure that the menus… and desktop… and shortcuts… and… well… just… everything(!) is exactly the same? I am NOT relearning ANYTHING! This better not be some nazi re-education camp! And there should be a coupon. Like, maybe, free Amazon Prime for a month, maybe a year, for letting them mess around with my stuff. And it better be free. I mean before the coupon. With the coupon it better be better than free! Or no dice, you fascist!
If you can’t separate the kids from the parents, does this mean that when a murderer is sentenced to life in prison we can’t put him there if he has kids, or does it mean the kids have to go into prison with him until the sentence is complete? How is that different from the circumstances in this lawsuit?
I’m all FOR keeping the family together. Deport all of them at one time, and do it right away so no one ‘suffers’ from being kept apart.
@JB Books,
Those kinds of resets are never bloodless.
Unless you are willing to reset to something before the 14th amendment and then heavily restrict the franchise, what is the point of all that bloodshed?
As to this story, why isn’t this a flat-out violation of the XI amendment?
“Amendment XI
The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state.”
