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The judge condemned the administration’s apparent “ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against “a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.”
Judges are allowed to be religious. They just can’t use religion as the basis of their judgement, which this judge did not do. They can quote scripture in the same way they can quote any other piece of literature.
Superfluous text has no place in judgments so there should be no religion in it.
This man is a regressive bigot who thinks he. should be free to promote irrelevant personal beliefs within official documents.
They do not belong there, and a man who places his personal interests above justice belongs in no office. He should be disbarred.
Did… did you read any of the article?
(Not you, them)
How does including a bible verse make this judge a “regressive bigot”? You are taking the role of bigot here.
These ubermensch who think their imaginary friend has any place in goverment are always placing themselves above everyone. To promote one’s religion in governance is a supreme form of bigotry and arrogance, to place oneself above all of your compatriots. Thus judge is saying that his personal opinions are sacrosant over everyone else’s, law be damned.
Chill dude, he isn’t pushing some agenda by putting in a reference to a bible verse. Your own interpretation of the judge’s action aren’t based in reality. Focus on the substance of the issue at hand.
The Bible verses are irrelevant to the case. Pushing agenda is their only purpose in the document.
But all religious people fashion themselves ubermensch that can’t be held to to basic standards of civilization and must be allowed force their views where they don’t belong.
Shhhh
