BREAKING: Maryland Judge Blocks Trump Birthright Citizenship Order - Law360

A Maryland federal judge Wednesday issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.

Enforcement of the Inauguration Day executive order, issued just hours after Trump took office, was first halted by a Washington federal judge's 14-day temporary restraining order on Jan. 23, in a challenge brought by state attorneys general from Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon. That restraining order was set to expire this week with another hearing in Seattle scheduled for Thursday.

But in a bench ruling Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman granted a preliminary injunction that will remain in place through the resolution of the Maryland case, barring reversal by the Fourth Circuit or the U.S. Supreme Court. The injunction was sought by immigrant rights advocates CASA, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, and three pregnant women whose children would have been deprived U.S. citizenship if the executive order had taken effect for children born on or after Feb. 19. She held that the plaintiffs had "easily" met their burden for a preliminary injunction and that the executive order would likely be found unconstitutional.

"The U.S. Supreme Court has resoundingly rejected the president's interpretation of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. In fact, no court in the country has ever endorsed the president's interpretation," Judge Boardman said following an hour of oral argument at the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland Wednesday morning. "This court will not be the first."

An attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice had told Judge Boardman that if she were to issue an injunction, it should only apply to the individual plaintiffs in the case in Maryland. But Judge Boardman said that the nationwide concern of citizenship "demands a uniform policy."

"Today, virtually every baby born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen upon birth. That is the law and tradition of our country," she said. "That law and tradition are – and will remain – the status quo pending the resolution of this case. The government will not be harmed by a preliminary injunction that prevents it from enforcing the executive order likely to be found unconstitutional. If anything, our system of government is improved by an injunction that prevents unconstitutional executive action."
 

Trump Considers Labeling Migrants a Measles, Tuberculosis Risk​

Advisers have searched for disease threats that would merit emergency health law invoked during Trump’s first term for Covid-19 risk​



“… President Trump’s advisers have been looking for evidence of disease threats that would merit reviving a policy they used during the pandemic in his first term to push back migrants who sought asylum at the border, the current and former officials said. The Trump administration sees the emergency health law, known as Title 42, as overriding laws that guarantee migrants a right to request humanitarian protection in the U.S.

White House officials have identified TB and measles as disease threats most likely to warrant invoking Title 42. The Health and Human Services department is sending Public Health Service officers to the border, officials involved in the effort said.

Kansas is experiencing a TB outbreak, and measles cases have been reported recently in states including Texas. It isn’t known whether those cases have any connection to the southern border, where crossings have plummeted in the past year. The general risk from both diseases remains low, public-health officials said. …”
 
“Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo said Wednesday his country will accept migrants from other countries who are being deported from the United States, the second deportation deal that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reached during a Central America trip that has been focused mainly on immigration.

Under the agreement announced by Arévalo, the deportees would be returned to their home countries at U.S. expense.

"We have agreed to increase by 40% the number of flights of deportees both of our nationality as well as deportees from other nationalities," Arévalo said at a news conference with Rubio.

Previously, including under the Biden administration, Guatemala had been accepting on average seven to eight flights of its citizens from the U.S. per week. Under President Donald Trump it's also been one of the countries that have had migrants returned on U.S. military planes. …”

This is why I’ve been saying it remains to be seen whether all the immigration stuff from Trump is a feint or a real threat. I have no doubt they’ll continue to game the system to make it look like a win. But the reality is (a) immigration was already very low when Trump took over, (b) large parts of Trump’s base desperately need undocumented workers, and (c) it’s a big ass border, no matter how many troops or how much “wall” you build.

The immigrant community in the US will be terrorized for years to come, which is unconscionable and completely contrary to the core message of Christianity, but I’m skeptical the movement across the border will actually change much. At least in real terms. God knows what Trump’s chronically dishonest administration will report.

Is the Administration seeking a justification to use military force (bombs or troops?) in Mexico against Mexican drug cartels? I mean, sure, maybe in a vacuum that sounds outlandish, but that is something Trump floated many times during his campaign.

Could also just be PR preening but sounds ominous.

Sure looks like it. Why would the cartels want to start a shooting war with the US military. It’s a fight they can’t win.

It really depends on the units deployed at the border. Your run of the mill NG unit will have a hard time dealing with some of the bigger cartels. Some of these cartels are absolutely armed to the teeth.

Now discuss a scenario where the cartels would gain anything at all by starting a shooting war.

I guess it depends on their reaction to any perceived encroachments on their operations. From what I've seen they aren't afraid to get down, so I guess it really boils down to what our armed forces do on and around the border.

I've linked stuff from the Cato Institute a number of times about the fentanyl smuggling. Something over 85% of the people are American citizens using legal entry points. Almost all comes through legal entries in total because most of it comes in such small quantities ( 10 to 20 lbs on the average) that it's easy to conceal. There's nothing really happening at the border that greatly concerns the cartels. There's definitely nothing worth starting a shooting war.

What you've posted makes absolute sense. I was just thinking in terms of hypothecals in relation to the wild card nature of the Trump administration.

My assumption is the cartels probably view the facile military theater as a welcome distraction from POE.
 
We don’t target school buses but we do search them if the opportunity arises …

If a cartel opens fire on a “run-of-the-mill” National Guard unit, it will soon meet Marines, Rangers, Airborne soldiers, SEALS, Delta, fixed-wing aviators from the Navy, Marines, Air Force, and helicopter units from diverse American military branches.

We’re more likely to see a Gulf of Tonkin incident.

And I assumme if such a spectacle occurred orangeturds popularity would soar
 

India’s pissed off now:

US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.

Indian lawmakers demonstrated outside parliament on Thursday, some wearing shackles and others mocking the much-touted friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Elsewhere in New Delhi, members of the youth wing of India’s main opposition party burned an effigy of Trump.
 
MAGA riled about Trump suggesting he might let a few displaced Palestinians relocate to America on a case by case basis, and this makes it worse:
