Republicans hit judges deportation decision

 Newsmax:

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan criticized a recent deportation injunction Monday on Newsmax, calling the decision by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg "one of the dumbest I've ever seen" and accused the judge of issuing politically motivated rulings.

The Ohio Republican denounced a federal judge's recent decision to block deportations, saying it oversteps executive authority and undermines public safety.

In an interview on "Rob Schmitt Tonight," Jordan criticized Boasberg's recent injunction that temporarily halted the Trump administration's removal of certain Venezuelan criminals and gang members.

"In essence, [Boasberg] said, turn the plane around, bring back the bad guys," Jordan said. "I mean, gang members, hardened criminals here illegally who did terrible things — turn the plane around and bring it back. Dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Jordan said the ruling reflects a broader issue of judicial overreach that his committee plans to address in upcoming hearings.

"These judges, I mean, the left being the left, they actually think that unelected judges, unelected bureaucrats should have more say in policy and actions than the guy who put his name on a ballot and got elected as president," Jordan said.

He noted the committee had advanced a bill by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to limit nationwide injunctions by federal judges, restricting rulings to case-specific jurisdictions. An approved amendment would allow broader orders in limited cases, such as multistate lawsuits heard by a three-judge panel, CBS News reported.

"Why should some judge in Timbuktu, California, be able to decide policy for the entire country?" Jordan asked. "We passed [the bill] out of committee. It looks like our leadership is going to put that on the floor for a vote in front of the full Congress next week."

I have also been critical of Judge Boasberg's decision on this case.  I think the decision was also a political mistake for the left in this country.  The country would be safer if these people were deported and not costing time and money in a prison in the US.  The people deported were described as Venezuelan criminals who were previously in prison there.  I also agree that local judges should not be making nationwide injunctions.  The Issa bill makes more sense.

Here is the fatal flaw with DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg's order: Even if these designated foreign terrorists are entitled to individual court review before their deportation, which is disputed, the DC court is not the proper court. Judge Boasberg did not, and does not, have the power to do what he is purporting to do. For this reason alone, everything he is doing is lawless. But it is much worse; it is also dangerous. Judge Boasberg ran to his courtroom to hold a Saturday hearing, even though he was not even serving as the emergency judge that weekend. (How did he get this case?) He publicly exposed an ongoing U.S. military, intelligence, and law-enforcement operation with an American ally dealing with the most vicious terrorists (Tren de Aragua) and international gang member (MS13) in the Western Hemisphere. That public exposure put American and allied lives in grave danger. Stunningly, Judge Boasberg even ordered the President to turn around planes full of terrorists over the Gulf of America, without knowing the fuel levels, the security footprint back in America, or other crucial operational details. We saw the enormous security footprint in El Salvador. Why would we have had that same footprint in America, as who could have ever imagined an activist DC judge could or would order the President to return planes full of terrorists? And not completing the mission would have humiliated and politically damaged El Salvador's president, who had hundreds of military, law-enforcement, and other officials awaiting--and who took a significant political and personal risk by agreeing to take these terrorists. Judge Boasberg's Saturday hearing and order crossed the red line. But Judge Boasberg is doubling down by demanding details about the military operation, to which he is not entitled. Judge Boasberg says he has a security clearance, but he definitely does not have the need to know. And allowing judges to meddle in military operations like this is dangerous and unacceptable. Foreign leaders are less likely to work with the President, if they fear an activist American judge may disclose their secrets. This harms the President’s ability to conduct foreign policy and his constitutional duty to keep us safe. The President has a constitutional duty, as the chief executive officer and commander-in-chief, to conduct international affairs, repeal foreign invasion, and protect American lives. The President has a constitutional duty to ignore any clearly unlawful court order that imminently endangers American lives, like Judge Boasberg's orders. Judge Boasberg is refusing to back down. So the House must move forward with impeachment proceedings for his lawless and dangerous sabotage of the President's core Article II powers.
