Supreme Court unleashes ICE to do its job

DC Daily Journal:

In a massive victory for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, the Supreme Court has cleared the way for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to resume hard-hitting raids in Los Angeles. The decision, handed down on Monday, shuts down a lower court’s attempt to tie the hands of federal agents enforcing the nation’s laws. This ruling is a bold move toward restoring order and ensuring illegal immigration doesn’t run rampant in one of America’s largest cities.

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision put a stop to a restrictive order from U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, a Biden appointee, who tried to block ICE from targeting individuals based on practical indicators like their occupation or language. The justices’ ruling allows ICE to get back to work, stopping illegal immigrants who’ve been gaming the system while hardworking Americans bear the cost. This is a win for law-abiding citizens who demand secure borders and a government that prioritizes its people.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a rock-solid conservative voice, laid out the case clearly in his concurrence. “Immigration stops based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence have been an important component of US immigration enforcement for decades, across several presidential administrations,” he wrote. Kavanaugh didn’t mince words, pointing out that those breaking America’s immigration laws don’t get a free pass just because they want to avoid questioning. “The interests of individuals who are illegally in the country in avoiding being stopped by law enforcement for questioning is ultimately an interest in evading the law. That is not an especially weighty legal interest,” he added.

The trouble started when Frimpong issued a temporary restraining order last month, claiming ICE’s tactics went against the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Her order banned federal agents from considering factors like race, ethnicity, specific locations like bus stops, types of work, or even speaking Spanish when conducting raids. It was a textbook case of a liberal judge trying to handcuff law enforcement and let illegal immigrants slip through the cracks.

Judges need to get out of the way of actually enforcing the law.  Enforcing immigration laws should be a priority.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
