An Obama-appointed federal judge just handed a win to illegal migrants — and a slap in the face to President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Judge Randolph Moss blocked Trump’s policy that banned illegal border crossers from applying for asylum, claiming the president “overstepped” his authority.
The judge paused the ruling for 14 days, giving the Trump administration a short window to appeal.
Trump Policy Under Fire
Earlier this year, the anti-American ACLU and Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center sued the Trump administration over the asylum policy — a key part of Trump’s effort to shut the border and restore order.
The radical left celebrated the judge’s ruling, with CNN calling it a “major blow” to Trump’s agenda.
“The President cannot adopt an alternative immigration system, which supplants the statutes that Congress has enacted,” Moss wrote.
Left-Wing Legal Circus
Stephen Miller, Trump White House advisor and architect of the policy, blasted the ruling:
“To try to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions, a Marxist judge has declared that all potential FUTURE illegal aliens on foreign soil… are part of a protected global ‘class’ entitled to admission into the United States.”
The Supreme Court previously restricted universal injunctions, but left a loophole for class-action abuse — something Justice Alito warned would be exploited by activist judges.
What’s at Stake
Trump’s policy had led to a sharp drop in illegal crossings. In June, the Border Patrol reported just over 6,000 encounters — a massive win for the America First agenda.
Now, with this ruling, that progress is at risk.
