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The judge condemned the administration’s apparent “ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against “a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.”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.
Leave it to militant atheists to be more concerned about fighting religion than about fighting fascism
Indeed, let’s return a 5 year old child to jail because the judge said a few words from the bible. Grow the fuck up. I grew up in a very conservative Christian family, I never was a believer myself but I do respect each ones beliefs as long as they don’t bring any harm.
Wishing for a 5 year old child to return to jail because the judge said a few bible phrases is absolutely macabre.
I didn’t say to overturn the judgment. But this could bring him harm. But him being a “Christian” to flaunt his beliefs is more important to this this self-absorbed piece of shit judge.
Its more in the sense the maga and the proud boies all cry about the bible and christianity. He spoke in their words and proved their evil. I think he did a fine job with this, honestly. Especially given the whole context.
We need to learn to take off our horse glasses and watch further than religion, especially in times like these.
Excuses “in times like these” is what got USA to this point. Principles that are dropped when the going gets tough aren’t principles, they’re an aesthetic.
There’s a truth in that too.
The regime uses religion to justify ignoring legal norms. The judge knew exactly what he was doing. Basically, if the Bible matters more than the law, this is STILL wrong.
Have you read the Jefferson Bible? He took all the magic shit out so it’s just Jesus the moral philosopher.
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.
Well said, thank you!
Not caring “how” while being okay with the “what” is how we are losing the rule of law. I echo OP’s sentiment on the importance of the separation of church and state. A judge citing the Bible should be discouraged, even if we agree with his ruling. Sounds like he was trying to point out the hypocrisy of Trump’s rhetoric, but even that, I’d argue, is not his role.
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.
They are not, most are zionist jews. Here is a good example of it: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DRXjgkriEfB/ (Yea, fuck instagram, its just the first result that popped)
I doubt that just based on the number of rabidly Zionist Jews relative to their Christian counterparts in civilization society. I suspect many “Proud/Boogaloo Boy” types comprise a significant portion of their ranks. Like 50% or greater, and veterans, jobless young ones who are still quite impressionable.
Number wise, the proud boogalo boys are definitely bigger. But despite that, most significant rallies and movements were mostly initiated by jewish zionists. Actually quite a few “white supremacy christian” groups were funded by jewish zionists. Nonetheless, both groups deserve exactly the same thing. Neither the zionists are true jews and neither those so called “christians” have anything to do with Christianity.
He quoted “Jesus wept.” Hardly inappropriate.
No religion belongs in the courtroom. It is by definition inappropriate and he should be punished for this.
Grow up, bud.
Why our country is doomed and its downfall will wreck the whole world along the way, summed up in one sentence.
Honestly, its mind numbing. Good intent should be respected no matter from which culture or religion is coming from. Divided we fall, united we stand.
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 lax enforcement of the few guidelines restricting their extreme unearned privilege.
You’re arguing what should be. I would argue the same. We’re explaining what is.
I agree. It does not matter if it was used in a good way this one time. Next time might be against abortion.
And why are you making multiple comments about it? Give it a rest already.
I think it’s cute how mad this guy got lol. Wait til he finds out ICE murders people.
Enjoy your regressive shithole, you’ve all earned it with your hard work keeping it that way.
lol k
