The Ninth Circuit (Circus) Rules That Local Politicians Do Not Have the Right to Block Presidents From Deporting Illegals

The bad news: the Ninth Circuit just got round to ruling on this 2019 case.

That's how they'll block Trump's deportations: Local communists will assert the right to overrule the elected president, and leftwing courts will take five years to tell them they don't have that power.

The federal government has the authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally over the objection of local authorities, a panel of three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled.
The 29-page ruling was written by Judge Daniel Bress, with judges Michael Hawkins and Richard Clinton concurring.
At issue is an April 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine, which directed county officials to prohibit fixed base operators on a county airfield near Seattle from servicing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement charter flights used to deport illegal foreign nationals.
Constantine's order prohibited King County International Airport from supporting "the transportation and deportation of immigration detainees in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, either traveling within or arriving or departing the United States or its territories."
The airport is located next to a major ICE-Seattle base of operations.
The Trump administration at the time sued, arguing Constantine's order violated the Supremacy Clause's intergovernmental immunity doctrine and a World War II-era Instrument of Transfer agreement allowing the federal government to use the airport in King County.
A district court agreed, ruling in favor of the federal government. King County next appealed to the Ninth Circuit.
The Ninth Circuit panel affirmed the district court's summary judgment that the order violated the Supremacy Clause and the Instrument of Transfer agreement.
...
With King County, as a so-called "sanctuary county," Constantine argues its region "has acted decisively to become more inclusive, removing barriers to affordable housing, transit, health, economic opportunity and promoting strong childhood development for everyone." The county has also set its "region apart as a leader in protecting the rights of all people in our communities, and continues to not tolerate discrimination, harassment, expressions of hate, or any behavior intended to promote fear, intimidation, or isolation," he says.
Constantine's argument was ideological, according to the order, stating federal "deportations raise deeply troubling human rights concerns which are inconsistent with the values of King County, including separations of families, increases of racial disproportionality in policing, deportations of people into unsafe situations in other countries, and constitutional concerns of due process."

"I don't like this policy and I voted against the man implementing it" is not a constitutional argument, jerkoff.

17 This is a point I have been trying to make for some days....the lawfare that the left engaged in against Trump and his EO's the first go around has been settled mostly in Trump's favor.

He can do that same thing he did the first time and the lawsuits have already been through the courts and have become settled law. Most of the EO's he is going to issue this time are bullet proof because of these judgements.

It was under Obama. Arizona passed a law that was word for word identical to federal law and was going to allow law enforcement to ask for proof of legal status during encounters such as traffic stops, but Obama's DOJ came in and said only feds have power to enforce, meaning not enforce, immigration law.

OT, but the crayons reminded me of this federal opinion out of Texas:

"Before proceeding further, the Court notes that this case involves two extremely likable lawyers, who have together delivered some of the most amateurish pleadings ever to cross the hallowed causeway into Galveston, an effort which leads the Court to surmise but one plausible explanation. Both attorneys have obviously entered into a secret pact complete with hats, handshakes and cryptic words to draft their pleadings entirely in crayon on the back sides of gravy-stained paper place mats, in the hope that the Court would be so charmed by their child-like efforts that the utter dearth of legal authorities in their briefing would go unnoticed. Whatever actually occurred, the Court is now faced with the daunting task of deciphering their submissions. With Big Chief tablet readied, thick black pencil in hand, and a devil-may-care laugh in the face of death, life on the razor's edge sense of exhilaration, the Court begins."

That brave woman was arguably the beginning of what we're witnessing now.

The SCOTUS wrote a new law, and the pervs insisted she marry them. Her specifically. They drove through multiple counties that would have signed off on their fake marriage to get to her in particular.

And she knew that she did not have the authority to re-write the paperwork. It was not her job. But the pervs and the feds didn't care. They attacked her relentlessly for obeying the law.

The war is one of the biggest issues on Trump's plate come January.

Have you looked at the total size of the UK Armed forces?

142,000. Total.
77,000 in the British Army.

High quality troops, for sure, but a remnant of what is really needed. A lot of commitments would have to be dropped to get even a division of troops into Ukraine.

-

That brave woman was arguably the beginning of what we're witnessing now.

The SCOTUS wrote a new law, and the pervs insisted she marry them. Her specifically. They drove through multiple counties that would have signed off on their fake marriage to get to her in particular.

And she knew that she did not have the authority to re-write the paperwork. It was not her job. But the pervs and the feds didn't care. They attacked her relentlessly for obeying the law.

OF star who made $43M in one year says she is a "devout Christian" virgin.

Sophie Rain, who made nearly $5M from one individual on OF, recently told YouTube streamer Kowski that she is a "virgin 'till this day."

Rain defended her actions because it's "just" her on her account.

"I'm a Christian. I know it seems odd that I'm doing [OF] but I don't do anything else with anyone on my OF. It's just me."

Rain made $43 million just on OF in the past year with $4.7M of it coming from a single person.

The poor bloody infantry does the dying. By the end of Normandy the Brits had lots of arty and tankers but their infantry components were so drawn down and replacements were nil and the units could barely function.

A favorite fun fact was that the US Tank Force in WWII had 1400 KIA....out of the 450K total, yet the Sherman is supposed to be the worst tank ever. Well some get knocked out, but the crew usually survives to get a new tank.

Early on in the SMO, Russia had to reorganize their units to have more and larger infantry per unit. You can't root out peeps in basements and trenches with anything else.

Mrs. Cop was watching Jesse Waters on Fox last night. Apparently when Trudeau was whining about Canada being adversely impacted by tariffs, Donald Trump told him that Canada could join the USA and become the 51st state.

Then someone pointed out that would shift the balance of power towards Democrats (since a lot of Canada is Lefty), Trump then said that Canada would have to divided into a Conservative half and Liberal half "to keep it fair." LOL.

Suddenly, the Canadian government is making noises about keeping migrants on their side of the border. It's almost as if tariffs can be used as a diplomatic cudgel ... but it can't be that, since Trump is a big dummy and a BadOrangeMan.

The next four years are going to be entertaining. Daddy's back home and he's pissed.
