Trump Wait-in-Mexico Asylum Policy Blocked as Too Dangerous


    Program is a mainstay of administration’s immigration policy
    Evidence shows risk of death for migrants, appeals judges say

The Trump administration is blocked from making thousands of Central American migrants wait out the result of their asylum applications to the U.S. in Mexico.

The San Francisco-based appeals court on Friday upheld a judge’s order barring the Homeland Security Department’s policy, which prevents migrants from countries like Guatemala and Honduras from living in the U.S. during the yearslong review process.

The administration was allowed in May by a three-judge panel to implement the Migrant Protections Protocols policy -- one of its major initiatives to stem immigration across the U.S. southern border -- but Friday’s ruling halts it while the legal fight continues. The administration is expected to appeal again, possibly asking the Supreme Court to intervene.

Appeal this upward "to the top".
And do it RIGHT AWAY.

Is a national security issue, which means Executive trumps the courts.

Ignore it.

Another set of 9th Circus judges trying to impose their own immigration policy, tyranny, because it is the duty of Congress to write laws and of the President to enforce them via means he chooses, as provided for by the laws.

As to the supposed danger, the illegals assumed that risk when they left their country and entered Mexico.

Andy Biggs was telling me last weekend that "en banc" in the 9th Circus isn't really en banc.  The 9th is huge, with something like 30 Judges on the panel.  What they call en banc is really only about a third of the Judges, and can be stacked against the right by the Presiding Judge, who's a far-leftist whack.

AFAIK, it's the only Circuit set up this way, and it's begging to be split into two or three parts to get it to the size of the rest of the Circuits.
