Judge bars US from enforcing Trump administration’s asylum ban

By Edmund DeMarche | Fox News


A federal judge in San Francisco on Monday barred the Trump administration from refusing asylum to immigrants who cross the southern border illegally, likely prompting a legal challenge from the White House.

Trump issued a proclamation on Nov. 9 that said anyone who crossed the southern border would be ineligible for asylum.


U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar, who was nominated by President Obama in 2012 to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, issued a temporary restraining order after hearing arguments in San Francisco.

The request was made by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights, which quickly sued after President Trump issued the ban this month in response to the caravans of migrants that have started to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Baher Azmy, a lawyer for the Center for Constitutional Rights, said, "Individuals are entitled to asylum if they cross between ports of entry. It couldn't be clearer."

Migrants who cross illegally are generally arrested and often seek asylum or some other form of protection.

On Monday, the U.S. closed off northbound traffic for several hours at the busiest border crossing with Mexico to install new security barriers, and also closed one of two pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro crossing in a move apparently aimed at preventing any mass rush of migrants across the border.

U.S. border inspectors are processing only about 100 asylum claims a day at Tijuana’s main crossing to San Diego. Asylum seekers register their names in a tattered notebook managed by migrants themselves that had more than 3,000 names even before the caravan arrived.

The supremes should instantly be able to override any other federal decision.

Unamerican trash. We need to fight tooth and nail for our country before the is no country to fight for.

How can that judge enforce it?

It amazes me that one Judge can invalidate an executive order.

0bama appointee in San Francisco. Pretty much says it all.

The judge is ruling on something not occurring in his district.

Tell the judge to go to Tijuana and enforce that order......

Wish we (Conservatives) knew that tactic with BHO.
That is if there are any Rep Judges out there.

How are the they able to judge shop? Its always a judge in SF or Hawaii.

How about we send every "migrant" right to San Fran.

Aren't the bulk of the asylum seekers in Tijuana now? Since that port of entry is in CA, I'd say the Ninth Circus is the obvious choice for anyone who wants to challenge Trump's EO.

Works for me!

Those dimwits out there keep electing idiots into positions of power, and then are too damned stupid to figure out why things have gone to shit there.

Trump knew this would go to the supremes....and just like the travel ban it will be upheld.

Some days I think Trump should declare the state of California a sanctuary state and that any and all of the rest of the world are California residents but not permitted to travel in the rest of the other states, nor vote or be counted in the census. Let California deal with everyone. For that matter add New York. They can all tax their residents into oblivion until they all die off. Sorry, just dreaming.
