Obama judge oppose Trump immigration policy

 Trending Politics:

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is pushing back hard against a federal judge’s attempt to pause enforcement of a new state immigration law. At the heart of the dispute is Senate Bill 4-C, a Florida law signed earlier this year that makes it a misdemeanor for illegal immigrants to enter Florida while avoiding federal immigration authorities.

The law was met with immediate backlash from progressive legal groups, including the ACLU, which filed suit to block it.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams—an Obama appointee—first intervened on April 4, issuing a temporary restraining order to halt enforcement of Florida’s immigration law. She argued the measure likely violates the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, which grants the federal government primary authority over immigration policy.

Building on that decision, Williams issued a 49-page ruling on Tuesday granting a preliminary injunction. Despite Judge Williams’ initial restraining order, at least one high-profile arrest occurred under the law before the court issued a broader preliminary injunction clarifying its application to all state law enforcement. As a result, the judge scheduled a hearing next month to consider whether Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier should be held in contempt or sanctioned. In response, Uthmeier’s office filed a formal notice of appeal to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court.

“The judge wants me to put my stamp of approval on an order prohibiting all state law enforcement from enforcing Florida’s immigration laws when no law enforcement are party to the lawsuit,” he told Fox News. “I’m just not going to do that.”

The judge doesn't know that US immigration laws also make it a crime to illegally enter the US?
