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The judge condemned the administration’s apparent “ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against “a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.”
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.
