As with many laws and procedures which have been in place for decades, President Trump’s legal team has been inundated with filing, responding too, or reacting to lawsuits. The lack of a coherent iron-clad immigration system, open borders, and free legal help, paid for by Soros groups, has been a major contributor to much of the unrest in our nation.
The Supreme Court has been unpredictable lately so anytime ruling comes in, which benefits President Trump’s agenda, is a breath of fresh air for the embattled administration.
The SCOTUS, again overturning a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision, ruled Thursday for the Trump administration in a key immigration case, determining that a federal law limiting an asylum applicant’s ability to appeal a determination that he lacked a credible fear of persecution from his home country does not violate the Constitution. Only former President Obama’s two confirmed Justices, Sotomayor and Kagan, voted in the minority.
The Trump administration was seeking to expand their authority so that people detained anywhere in the U.S. and up to two years after they got here could be quickly deported. On Tuesday, a federal appeals court threw out a trial judge’s ruling that had blocked the expanded policy.
From Fox News
In a decision in the case of Dept. of Homeland Security v. Thuraissigiam, the court ruled that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) – which prevents judicial review of the credible fear determination – does not violate the Constitution’s Suspension Clause, which protects habeas corpus privileges that allow courts to determine if a person should be released due to unlawful detention.
The SCOTUS’s ruling means the administration can deport some people seeking asylum without allowing them to make their case to a federal judge. The 7-2 ruling applies to those who fail their initial asylum screenings, making them eligible for quick deportation.
The case boils down to this.
- Vijayakumar Thuraissigiam, a Sri Lankan national, illegally crossed the southern U.S. border without documentation in January 2017, was apprehended within 25 yards of the border, and detained for expedited removal.
- According to court documents, he said he was afraid of returning to Sri Lanka because he had once been abducted and beaten by a group of men, but did not know who they were or why they attacked him. At the time, he said that he did not fear persecution due to his political beliefs, race, or any other protected characteristics.
- At the time, he said that he did not fear persecution due to his political beliefs, race, or any other protected characteristics.
- So unlike the heavily coached illegal aliens from Mexico and South America, who are told what to say verbatim, even if they don’t qualify, Mr. Thuraissigiam told a lie without the additional magic statements which would have “entitled” his Assulum request approval.
“The Supreme Court ruled that someone in Thuraissigiam’s position – being apprehended within 25 yards of the border – should be treated the same as someone who was taken into custody at the time they attempted to enter the country, and therefore the 1892 decision applies.”
The reality is our asylum laws, as written, allow massive fraud and put enormous pressure on our immigration system. If the GOP regain power in the US House, increases their majority in the US Senate, and President Trump is re-elected, all immigration law must be updated to remove loopholes. Until then those who know how to play us will get asylum hearings, and those who don’t will not.
