Judge temporarily blocks Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship, calling it 'blatantly unconstitutional'

A federal judge in Seattle has signed a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.

Judge in this case is 84 years old, appointed by Reagan in 1981. He’s been a federal judge for 8 years longer than I’ve been *alive*, and I’m pretty sure I classify as middle aged at this point.
 


“… The memo, signed Thursday night by the acting head of the Homeland Security Department, offers ICE officers a road map on how to use expansive powers that were long reserved only for encounters at the southern border to quickly remove migrants. It also appears to give the officers the ability to expel migrants in two major Biden-era programs that have allowed more than a million people to enter the country temporarily.

Those programs — an app called CBP One that migrants could use to try to schedule appointments to enter the United States, and an initiative that let in certain migrants fleeing Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti — were key pillars of the Biden administration’s efforts to discourage illegal entries by allowing certain legal pathways. Immigrant advocates also worried that the memo could apply to Afghan and Ukrainian immigrants brought to the United States under separate programs. …”

So, again, not just violent criminals, but also people who entered in accordance with the rules. But they’re eating the pets, or so I hear.

Immigration agents "raided" a business in Newark on Thursday, according to the city's mayor.

Mayor Ras Baraka said the agents detained multiple people, including United States citizens, a U.S. military veteran and undocumented individuals. According to Baraka, the agents did not produce a warrant.

… It happened at the Ocean Seafood Depot at Adams and Delancey streets.

The owner said about a dozen ICE agents came in unannounced around 11 a.m., asking to see documentation of his employees.

They didn't have a court order or, I mean, I didn't even ask," he said.

He said his manager tried to show his veteran's card, but the agents did not accept it.

"A couple of the guys couldn't show their identification," the owner said. "Twenty-six years in business, I never seen anything like this."

The owner said three people were taken into custody.

Surveillance video shows what appears to be federal immigration agents taking a man into custody outside the fish market. …”

“…
Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the new administration took down the Spanish-language version of the official White House website.

The site — currently https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/ — now gives users an “Error 404” message. It also included a “Go Home” button that directed viewers to a page featuring a video montage of Trump in his first termand on the campaign trail. The button was later updated to read “Go To Home Page”.

Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion at the abrupt change and frustration at what some called the administration’s lack of efforts to maintain communication with the Latino community, which helped propel him to the presidency.

The Spanish profile of the White House’ X, @LaCasaBlanca and the government page on reproductive freedom also were disbanded. Meanwhile, the Spanish versions of other government agencies such as the Department of Labor, Justice and Agriculture remained available for users on Tuesday. …”

A few things —

  • the “Go Home” button is unlikely to be accidental, though it is possible if not plausible
  • Will be interested to see if the Trump Admin gives agricultural workers a wide birth in their deportation zeal
  • I don’t want to be rude, but hard to take seriously the confusion expressed by Hispanic advocacy groups at this turn of events

Springfield may be about to see what an invasion REALLY looks like. And have its economy gutted at the same time.

My vague sense is that the EO tracks the two-person dissent from Wong Kim Ark, which basically settled the birthright citizenship question back in 1898. So MAGA is now literally reaching back to failed arguments from the 19th century to take constitutional rights away.

Appropriate to this thread, here’s a piece about why it doesn’t matter if Trump et al are literally Nazis, as their immigration policies in particular display classic fascist tendencies:

Why “Is Trump a Nazi?” Is the Wrong Question

This is not shaping up to be the kind of regime that you want to be remembered for collaborating with.

After a recent relisten of about ten hours worth of Mussolini podcasts, the number of similarities with ttump are so high as to be scripted. It’s like Stephen Miller and Heritage have taken Mussolini vignettes out of an eighth grade history textbook, enter them into the teleprompter, and their Manchurian candidate brings it to life.

I mean, we’re talking down to the exaggerated white bandage on a superficial head wound, following an assassination attempt.

Would genuinely love to hear more — maybe this thread can become a weird overlaps catch-all (not because I object to discussing it here but because that topic and your post seem to dovetail nicely):

Politics Post in thread '“Night of Camp David” - was forgotten 1965 novel accidentally prophetic?'

I bought that book during Trump's first term but never got around to reading it. I guess it's time for me to take it off the shelf and begin to read...
