Judge Fred Biery lambasts Trump’s ‘ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented’ mass deportation campaign
A federal judge has ordered the release of a five-year-old boy and his father who were detained by federal immigration agents from their driveway in suburban Minneapolis and sent to a detention center in Texas.
In his ruling on Saturday, District Judge Fred Biery delivered a brutal assessment of Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign and an “ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas” that appears to require “traumatizing children.”
Liam Conejo Ramos was taken into federal custody from the driveway of his family’s home last week after officers arrested his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, who is seeking asylum in the United States. They were sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas, where the preschooler is reportedly sick, lethargic and asking for his mother, according to his family and lawmakers who visited him this week.
The judge condemned the administration’s apparent “ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against “a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.”
Yeah, the Bible should not enter legal documents and a judge seemingly taking guidance from it should be disbarred.
The regime uses religion to justify ignoring legal norms. The judge knew exactly what he was doing. Basically, even if the Bible matters more than the law, this is STILL wrong.
Calm the fuck down when people are doing the right thing.
Jeez I swear we will lose every battle ever because leftists are always seeking places to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Edit: reminder people, there are very real agents against better outcomes who are paid to make these kinds of takes to make people like us, the ones opposing fascism, to argue and fight about stupid shit like this. It’s objectively stupid to argue that a judge who did a good thing and is fighting for liberty be disbarred for slipping two bible references in his signature, it’s nonsense.
So more likely than not, this user is one of the many, many trolls from troll farms across the world dedicated to making people fight each other, not the powers that want to shove ALL of you in a camp. Clap them back but then block and move on. There are too many impressionable people here who will read a whole thread of back and forth and despair that they don’t know who’s right.
I agree. It does not matter if it was used in a good way this one time. Next time might be against abortion.
Perhaps, but, I won’t complain about Christian theology being used against Christofascists, of which I suspect many ICE agents are. Donald Trump has been known to wave a Bible around. Turnabout is fair play.
He quoted “Jesus wept.” Hardly inappropriate.
No religion belongs in the courtroom. It is by definition inappropriate and he should be punished for this.
Why our country is doomed and its downfall will wreck the whole world along the way, summed up in one sentence.
You act like there’s ever been separation of church and state. There has not.
All states so indeed still have some theocratic elements. That is precisely why religion should be given no quarter, it already more prominence in goverment than it ever deserved.
Freedom of religion in most states is just placing religious people above rules that bind everyone else, religious people don’t need the addition of lax enforcement of the few guidelines that exist to expand their extreme unearned privilege.
You’re arguing what should be. I would argue the same. We’re explaining what is.
