Another black-robed tyrant has usurped President Trump’s lawful immigration authorities in a fit of anger and arrogance.
As the Associated Press reported, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden judge from Seattle, on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit around 12,000 refugees into America under a court order partially barring the president’s attempts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program. At the same time, he ignored the possibility that these refugees could pose a threat to America.
“This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says,” Whitehead wrote Monday. “The Government is free, of course, to seek further clarification from the Ninth Circuit.”
“But the Government is not free to disobey statutory and constitutional law — and the direct orders of this Court and the Ninth Circuit — while it seeks such clarification,” he added.
This means that American lives are now potentially in danger thanks to this rogue judge’s ruling.
The Gateway Pundit reported back in February that Whitehead blocked Trump’s attempts to stop the federal refugee resettlement program, which has been abused for years by Democrat administrations and refugees themselves.
In his ruling, Whitehead said that Trump’s actions were an “effective nullification of congressional will” in setting up the nation’s refugee admissions program.
“The president has substantial discretion … to suspend refugee admissions,” Whitehead stated. “But that authority is not limitless.”
In March, a three-judge panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Whitehead’s February order that would have forced the Trump Administration to restart refugee admissions. Trump was allowed to continue with his pause on all new refugee admissions.
The administration was still required to process the approval of refugees before January 20. The ruling noted that Trump’s executive order had nothing to do with those refugees.
The plaintiffs involved in this garbage lawsuit include the International Refugee Assistance Project, the Jewish refugee resettlement agency HIAS, Lutheran Community Services Northwest, and individual refugees and family members. They claimed that unless Trump’s order were reversed, they would have great difficulty providing services to refugees.
Trump lawyers, though, have rightfully pointed out that the president had explicit constitutional authority to deny entry to foreign nationals who, if allowed into the country, “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”
In January, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14155, titled “Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program,” which suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) effective January 27, 2025.
This order stopped refugees from entering America and barred federal funding to organizations assisting refugees, including those already in the country. The suspension will remain in effect until a determination is made that resuming the program is aligned with U.S. interests.
