‘Flores’ Judge Preserves Catch and Release, Rejects Donald Trump’s Border Reform

Neil Munro27 Sep 2019

The California judge who approved the “Flores” catch and release loophole in the nation’s border laws has rejected the regulatory fix drafted by President Donald Trump’s deputies.

Judge Dolly Gee’s rejection clears the way for the Department of Justice to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule her decision and so allow officials to end the so-called Flores decree that forces border officials to release migrant children — and their parents — after just 20 days in detention.

Trump’s regulations fix the catch and release loophole by allowing officials to hold migrants and their children in detention until their claims for asylum are processed by courts. The continued detention will deter migrants because it bars migrants from getting the jobs they need to repay their smugglers. The detention also prevents migrants from using their release to escape deportation by hiding among the nation’s population of at least 12 million illegals.

The judge's jurisdiction cannot possibly cover more than a single area near California, so she cannot rule nationwide.

It is unconstitutional.

It is and now the SCOTUS will set it in concrete for the entire nation forevermore.

Nice work judge Dolly.
