Judge Presumes to Block Trump's Revocation of Amnesty to 530,000 Illegals; Democrat Senator Chris Hollen Says That He's Going to El Salvador to Push Them Around and Get Abrego Garcia Back

Trump should just ignore this latest attempt to run the country as if the duly elected president by a corrupt Obama judge.

A Massachusetts federal judge stopped the Trump administration late Monday from yanking legal status from more than 530,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan nationals who were brought into the US under a controversial Biden administration program.
Boston US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, ruled that the migrants are entitled to a case-by-case review and declined to put her decision on hold while the Trump administration appeals it.
"The early termination, without any case-by-case justification, of legal status for noncitizens who have complied with DHS programs and entered the country lawfully undermines the rule of law," Talwani wrote in a 41-page ruling. "The court finds the balance of equities and public interest weigh in favor of preliminary relief."
At issue was the Biden administration's Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) mass humanitarian parole program, which gave nationals from those Latin American countries a path to legal status in the US.
The Department of Homeland Security announced the program in early 2023.
Since then, an estimated 110,240 Cubans, 211,040 Haitians, 93,080 Nicaraguans and 117,320 Venezuelans were granted parole -- or temporary permission -- to stay in the US under the CHNV program.
...
The Biden administration had argued the program would reduce the inflow of migrants across the southern border and allow for better vetting.

Border crossings have dropped 95% -- and that's not an estimate, that's the actual published number -- so this measure, supposedly pushed by Biden to help vet border crossers, is simply no longer necessary, even according to Biden's claimed reasons for pushing it.

This judge doesn't care. Because, just like Biden, she's a liar. She just wants open borders, period.

At one point this past July, the program was paused due to widespread fraud concerns after an internal probe found that more than 100,000 applicants for the program were backed by about 3,200 "serial sponsors." It was restarted last August.

...
Encounters at the southwest border dropped to 11,017 in March, down 94.2% from the 189,359 encounters during March of 2024, according to data from US Customs and Border Patrol.

Okay, 94.2%. So I exaggerated by 0.8%.

Find someone who loves you the way Democrat senators love illegal alien MS-13 gang members.

Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen from Maryland wrote to El Salvadoran diplomats to "urgently request" meeting with the country's president, Nayib Bukele, to discuss the potential return of a former Maryland resident, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to the Central American nation by the Trump administration.
A federal judge ruled Garcia should be returned to the U.S., a decision that was unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court last week.
"If Kilmar is not home by midweek -- I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release," Van Hollen wrote in a letter address to El Salvador's ambassador to Washington.
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said during a Monday Oval Office meeting that he did not intend to return Kilmar to the U.S.

Oooh, what a tough guy. Chris Hollen is going to show off his muscles and scare them all into compliance.

Will Chamberlain reminds everyone that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, period, and was proven to be an MS-13 gang member.

And also, he completely lied about being threatened by gangs. As I keep saying, this is a standard lie illegals are coached to tell. If they can't claim their government is oppressive, they're told to go to the next-best thing and claim they're being oppressed by "gangs."

Will Chamberlain
@willchamberlain
The story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not about the wrongful deportation of a Maryland father. It's about the abuse of our immigration system by illegal migrants, the lawyers who help them lie, and the nonprofits who agitate to keep them in the country.
Abrego Garcia crossed into our country illegally in 2012 - by his own admission. He did not apply for asylum. He didn't show up at an embassy or at a port of entry to go through any kind of legal process. He just crossed.
Finally, the authorities found him in 2019, after he'd been living in the country illegally for seven years. He was set to be deported. He asked for bond - it was denied, because there was evidence that he was a member of MS-13, and he could not prove that he was not a danger to the community.
And yet somehow, this longtime illegal alien, who was denied bond, managed to avoid being deported. How?
By concocting what, by any objective measure, looks like a preposterous set of lies.
Abrego Garcia claimed that if he were deported, his life would be in danger. You see, he claims that he fled El Salvador in 2011 because his mother's pupusa business was being extorted by the Eighteenth Street Gang. And yes, that pupusa business closed, but no matter - the Eighteenth Street Gang was still threatening to kill him in 2019, he claimed.
Sure, he had no corroborating evidence whatsoever to back up his fantastical and highly convenient claims. No matter - an immigration judge said ok, granted him withholding of removal, and sent this removable illegal alien - who another immigration judge had found was likely in MS-13 - back into our community.
What on earth happened here? The indictment of our immigration system is not that now, 13 years after his initial illegal crossing, Abrego Garcia has finally been returned to his home country. The scandal is that he was able to stay here so long illegally - and that EVEN AFTER HE WAS DETAINED BY ICE, he managed to stay in the country for six further years. Somehow, on the verge of being sent home, he managed to figure out exactly what to say to stay in the country.
This was always a sham. And if the Democrats want to make him a martyr, Republicans should lean in. Because he's not an example of how our country wrongs illegal aliens; he's an example of how illegal aliens and their lawyers make a mockery of our country.

Links for his claims are in this thread.

When Rachel Morin, an actual Maryland mother was killed by an illegal gang member, the only thing Chris Van Hollen did was give a statement to a news outlet.

11 This is where Trump is the strongest and I bet deep down, closer to 80% of America wants tough action on illegals.

Trump needs to just start ignoring judges. We can't possibly process millions of due process court cases and it's clear the Roberts Supreme Court is just going to continue to try and split the baby on all of this and not slap it down because even a conservative leaning supreme court loves judicial supremacy.

Ultimately, no one can really prosecute Trump deporting people.

46 Again, and I cannot take credit for this revelation, but the federal courts are a creation of the legislative branch of the government, and are not able to rule on any of the three coequal branches of government. It is unconstitutional.

You can tell by how they cannot overrule the Supreme Court: it is one of the three coequal branches of the federal government. It doesn't say anywhere in the constitution that the Supreme Court's rulings are not assailable by lesser courts, its just part of the system.

They can rule on individual persons on the three branches, doing things that are illegal, but they cannot overrule a law passed by the legislative branch, or an executive action by the executive branch any more than they can overrule a ruling by the supreme court.

That's the key, and that is what Trump's team should be arguing. It doesn't matter what a lesser court says about Executive Orders, even if they are blatantly illegal and unconstitutional: they have no jurisdiction.

69 I saw a lunatic post by a woman on Twixxer that claimed that until white men got to America, there was no rape among the natives. None. She repeated it several times.

Now, putting aside how on earth anyone would be able to back that up factually, why would any human even make that claim?? Yes, I know, a lot of tribal guys like to brag and make ridiculous claims about their amazing deeds and noble behavior but seriously??

70 ...counsel for Kilmar Abrego Garcia argue that the government should “at least” be required to request the release of Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.

Not "request" --- "DEMAND!" We can't afford to just ask for half a loaf. We're likely to get crumbs, if that

Such a "request" would be issued with a complicit refusal by El Salvador. Then the Trump administration would simply shrug its shoulders and say "Well, we tried." Garcia's attorney and the Court need to require that Trump DEMAND the return of Mr. Garcia, using whatever leverage is necessary in a good faith effort to comply with the law.

What are you going to do judge? The ball is in your court. REMEMBER, No man is above the law. (cough cough)

why didn't anyone push back when the Salvadorean president called him a terrorist? Why doesn't anyone call him on it and ask to see the papers that would confirm that he went through any kind of legal process?

Only in America,Our Betters are working to promote MS-13 and Trout de Veragas or whatever their name is, instead of muslim rape gangs.

It's an attempt to make normies strangers in their own country, to make an actual majority a functional oppressed minority afraid to protect their families, themselves, their community or their culture in their own country.

88 I hope these judges keep all this up. It may or may not end well, but it is illustrative nonetheless.

This is a nothingburger. This is an illegal alien gangster who was caught and sent home. There is nothing sympathetic about him, no sob story, no heartstrings, no extenuating circumstances, no "soft" angle on it, no rational justification, no "standing on the side of honor" or anything else.

This is an illegal alien gang-banger who was deported, and bringing him back in at all costs is the hill on which this judge - and the left more broadly - has chosen to die. For this guy. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

The more clarity, the better.

Oh, plenty do. But when the numbers are too great and the density of population too significant, its much less likely to happen.

There is a big difference between, say, the mass of immigration in the early 1900s and now, in that even groups like the Italians and Sicilians who made up their own sections of cities and spoke largely their own language at home wanted to be American and were very patriotic.

My grandfather who came from Denmark through Ellis Island in the very early 1900s was immensely patriotic and loved America, he learned English soon as he could. Mind you he had an accent so thick I had a hard time understanding him sometimes but he really did try. I am not convinced most immigrants these days even have that sort of attitude.

I have been in favor of calling this bluff for years. It would be "bad optics" but easy to do:
1. Build an internment camp near the border. Any illegal arrested who has made a *prior* phony-baloney asylum claim gets a choice: go home, or go to jail in the internment camp until the claim gets adjudicated.
2. Build a YUGE immigration court in the camp, and hire - or press-gang existing - judges to service it. Give them strict workloads. 15 minutes per case. 3.5 per hour per day per judge, with buffer. Listen to the plea and make a judgement. If the claim is legit, the person is issued his papers and released. If not, he goes in the deportation queue. Make it clear to the judges that their job is to rubber-stamp deportations.

152 There is a big difference between, say, the mass of immigration in the early 1900s and now, in that even groups like the Italians and Sicilians who made up their own sections of cities and spoke largely their own language at home wanted to be American and were very patriotic.

My grandfather who came from Denmark through Ellis Island in the very early 1900s was immensely patriotic and loved America, he learned English soon as he could.

Many of them loved the US, wanted their children to assimilate, and the government encouraged that as well.

Today, they're indoctrinated by the government and NGOs that they don't need to change, America is evil, racist and owes immigrants, etc.

Reality has nothing to do with it, nor do logic or sense.

This is about the ideology. The ideology states that the White Man is the Universal Oppressor. Therefore, he is the fount of all bad things. If it's bad, it's the Universal Oppressor's fault and therefore distinct to the Universal Oppressor.

That's it. Nothing more to it.

Rural white poverty? The White Man's fault.
Urban black poverty? The White Man's fault.
Rape? The White Man's Fault.

210 199 Unless I'm reading the wrong snippet, guvamint has told the court that if the "MD father" presents himself *at a port of entry*, DHS will detain him - and then deport him!

So, the POS has to get himself to a port of entry, where he will be detained prior to deportation to a 3rd country.

Don't want to check, because this is too hilarious and perfect to believe.

225 The Rocky Mountains and Pacific Indians had the concept of Rape. It was a little different.

Ordinarily one presented his wife or daughter as a favor for visiting dignitaries to enjoy or get to “know”. It was a great insult not to partake. This caused the Capt’s Lewis and Clark a lot of headache in negotiations because they refused.

Schtupping a man’s wife without consent, however, was a grave and serious matter. Usually ended up killing both.

For all that, modern AWFLs don’t realize - if everything is a “social construct” then so too, is rape. “Consent” is just a few synapse crackling around. No such thing. I can take you whenever I please, and is of no more significance than quashing a bug.

Cue global warming aka climate change, Americans like a clean environment but also like their Chevy Suburban or Ford Expedition and cheap gas and energy rates. So the Dems double down on Green Nude Eel and throw fits about carbon consumption that they themselves ignore. Result, snoozing public.

Same with Ukraine--ordinary people felt a bit of sympathy for Ukraine but not for shipping billions there or risking a land war with Russians. So frantic calls by Dems to spend more get the snooze button as well from the public.

Rousing the public to show them something they hate like troons in womens sports, is stupid.

There is FAR less chance of him being removed by impeachment now than before.

Before 1/6, the GOP thought they could cleanse the party of him and retain power of the RNC simply by no longer having him be president.

And even then, they only got one vote from one Republican senator on one charge...at the height of the post 1/6 hysteria.

Nah. A Democrat House will impeach day after day, but a Thune led Senate will largely just ignore them, doing the bare minimum before dismissing things.

I think there is something to that. And, I think that the left genuinely believes that Trump is honestly and really going to start rounding up his enemies and putting them in camps, using ICE to deport citizens. They literally say he is doing that. So this fits right into their belief system.

249 Aren't they? The history of the courts says otherwise. It indicates that policymaking is their primary function. Judicial "activists" - also known as "judges" - have been legislating from the bench for generations how, and are universally rewarded for doing so.

That seems to indicate that it is indeed their purpose.
Posted by: Joe Mannix

Legislating from the bench is more what courts did starting with the Earl Warren era following into the Burger Court. Court went from declaring no to some actions to actually massaging interpretation like in Griggs v. Duke Power to get what they wanted out of statutes. Gorsuch of all people who knows better, did it himself regarding Oklahoma and Indian territory and on trans. Both were perversion of the existing statutes and existing interpretation.

Part of it was encouraged as DC entered partisan gridlock after the New Deal coalition fell apart. Divided government gives the courts more leeway to play idiotic games with the Constitution and legislation.

I am actually thinking that 2026 may be more like 2002 or 1934, The Dems nationally are doubling down in the House on very unpopular stances--anti deportation, troons on women's teams, etc. instead of economics. If the economy holds (DC beltway doesn't count as GOP is non existent there), then you might very well see the GOP hang on.

There just are not that many swing districts where Kamala won but the GOP won the House seat. Too bored to pull up normal vote sequences but there are actually more Dem House districts where Trump won than vice versa.

Ignore special elections, especially for state leg or state offices right now. State rather than national factors matter more for those.

271 At issue was the Biden administration's Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) mass humanitarian parole program, which gave nationals from those Latin American countries a path to legal status in the US.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the program in early 2023.

It's a purely made up program, same as Humanitarian Parole for certain Afghanistan families and Ukrainian families, but at least some of the stories behind the Afghanistan families seemed deserving at the time of press. (Who knows what's happened since?)

As per Temporary Protected Status, every group but Cubans were already in the mix for various lengths of time. Suddenly, Biden decides to have a separate Humanitarian Parole program for three (3) more TSP covered groups and toss in Cubans. Oh, yeah, the squad in the US House of Representatives must have climbed on his a** for some reason.

Now this judiciary nonsense after the legislative nonsense. We're just paying for pure nonsense and the enrichment of fools anymore.

280 They found a burned out village and in one of the houses the corpses of a family with broken arms/legs and then butcher marks on their bones.

The theory was the tribe that attacked this one broke the limbs of their victims so when they started butchering them to eat the others couldn't survive or fight back.

But you know all those native people lived in peace and harmony before the white man showed up.

Same issue recently unearthed in the Yucatan regarding human sacrifice like the Aztecs. Seems to be pretty common for both long pig and child sacrifice among savage civilizations. Aztecs got owned by a very few conquistadors as did the Incans. That is because both of them treated their defeated rivals as resources to be disposed of by their betters. So the rivals allied with the Spanish to do both civilizations in.

Elites have to learn to pick their own damn cotton rather than living lives of ease.

There just are not that many swing districts where Kamala won but the GOP won the House seat. Too bored to pull up normal vote sequences but there are actually more Dem House districts where Trump won than vice versa.

Ignore special elections, especially for state leg or state offices right now. State rather than national factors matter more for those.
Posted by: whig at April 15, 2025 04:23 PM (ctrM5)

========

The makeup of the House is the unsung culprit of what's going on right now.

There should be at least a 6 seat swing in favor of the GOP because of the Census bruhaha.

And...CA cheating keeps winning Democrat seats.

I suspect that we're looking at the absolute maximum that cheating and pressure and regular electoral politics can get Democrats with the current makeup of the house and districts. Like, they couldn't get one more seat in a general election (specials are different, as you note).

Even assuming the fed grant cutting won't make a difference, I wouldn't be surprised to see the GOP gain 2-5 seats in House in the midterms.

286 "Will Chamberlain reminds everyone that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien, period, and was proven to be an MS-13 gang member."

Also, why should we, American citizens, care that (under the caveat of his proclamation of getting killed by a gang upon return) he might be killed? Why would we want to protect one gang member from a different tribe of gang members? You chose your path; we didn't. We don't want any of you.

Oh, and you're still an illegal alien, ganged or not. Go back home and do it right and get officially denied... again.

For the worship of Tlaloc, the rain god, the Aztec sacrificed children, but you see because he was the rain god just killing them wasn't enough - they needed to be crying.

So the Aztecs would literally torture children to death in service of their god.

But again, you know all these natives just lived in peace and harmony...minus the mass murder, cannibalism, and torture...

292 46 Again, and I cannot take credit for this revelation, but the federal courts are a creation of the legislative branch of the government, and are not able to rule on any of the three coequal branches of government. It is unconstitutional.

You can tell by how they cannot overrule the Supreme Court: it is one of the three coequal branches of the federal government. It doesn't say anywhere in the constitution that the Supreme Court's rulings are not assailable by lesser courts, its just part of the system.

They can rule on individual persons on the three branches, doing things that are illegal, but they cannot overrule a law passed by the legislative branch, or an executive action by the executive branch any more than they can overrule a ruling by the supreme court.

It doesn't matter what a lesser court says about Executive Orders, even if they are blatantly illegal and unconstitutional: they have no jurisdiction.

Dunno. Been out of the game analyzing House races (among others for about twenty years now). Worked for the House and later studied and analyzed it to the point where I was sick of it after 20 or so years of it. I came to the conclusion that big money was swinging Congress and Congress critters were basically cheap whores on a lot of votes by being easily bought. After I studied ant taught about the judiciary for about the same time or so, I came to the conclusion that they too have succumbed to vices.

Eh, Federalist Society corporate types are why Trump I judges are so damn unpredictable. These lawyers lack the guts to go toe to toe with their adversaries in many cases when in GOP administrations because it will hurt their future legal careers in Big Law. The Left has successfully neutered the old rightie GOP corporate lawyers that GWB and Pappy Bush relied upon. Trump really needs to go to state judiciaries and blue collar striving first generation types in his judges and lawyers rather than bloodless establishment types.

It was NOT unanimously upheld. In fact, the supreme court simply said the administration should ask for his return. They asked, and El Salvador said nope.

I love the idea of the senator flying down and meeting the El Salvadoran president, just to have a president laugh in his face.
