In at least 25 rulings, federal courts have blocked virtually every move President Trump has taken on immigration
By Fred Barbash Fred Barbash Law, constitution and courts Email Bio Follow April 11 at 7:07 PM In at least 25 different rulings, federal courts have blocked virtually every move President Trump has taken on immigration, with some judges admonishing the administration that the president’s fury over the tide of migrants flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border does not give him the right to skirt acts of Congress or the U.S. Constitution.
Noting all those setbacks regarding sanctuary cities as she listened to a government lawyer’s appeal in Chicago on Wednesday, Judge Ilana Rovner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit despaired.[The real reason the Trump administration is constantly losing in the courts] “It’s a court system that never, ever rules for us,” he said after his latest loss. But in February, as he discussed his border wall’s fate in the courts, he was confident that “we’ll possibly get a bad ruling, and then we’ll get another bad ruling, and then we’ll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we will get a fair shake.”
The source of Trump’s discontent on immigration is Congress’s unwillingness to change the laws that he says are permitting migrants to flood across the border. He’s been particularly critical of asylum laws, which he claims allow migrants to “con” the government with bogus claims of persecution in their home countries and then hang around for years in the United States while their cases are adjudicated.
While it’s hard to match the resources of the Justice Department, Trump’s legal opponents have done it.
