The federal judge blocks the ban on Trump asylum for migrants on the southern border

A federal judge blocked the decree of President Donald Trump on Wednesday, who was trying to prevent migrants from crossing the border from asking for asylum or asking for the restraint of kidnapping in the United States, a major blow from Trump when he seeks to apply his wide repression of immigration more.

US district judge Randolph Daniel Moss, one appointed by Obama, said on Wednesday that Trump’s proclamation on January 20, which sought to block all migrants “engaged in the invasion through the southern border” to claim asylum or to request the restraint of the abolition, exceeds its authority – to defend itself with ACLU, which brought the pursuit to the name of several groups of migrants and 13 asylum groups.

The group urged the court in February to prevent Trump’s proclamation from taking strength, arguing that the action was “as illegal as they are unprecedented”.

Moss said on Wednesday that Trump “did not have the inherent constitutional authority” to supplant the federal laws governing the moves.

“Containing otherwise would make a lot, if not most, of the INA simply optional,” he added to 128-page opinion.

Moss aroused the order of a 14 -day period to allow the Trump administration to appeal the case before a superior court.

The judge also granted the complainants to certify a class of migrants who would have been submitted to the proclamation of Trump heard by the court or who are subject to the future.

Class certification also allows the trial to continue under new limitations set out by the Supreme Court last week in Trump c. Casa. This decision has limited the scope of the injunctive repair that the lower courts can provide to the complainants, except in some cases, including the challenges met by a certified class.

Moss Wednesday recognized the decision of the Supreme Court in Trump c. Casa, although he declared that his decision had finally given a legal room so that the district courts interrup the executive action – a so -called provision “as a whole”, when the court will determine that the new government policies are illegal.

The White House immediately castigated the decision, which, she said, bypassing the decision of the Supreme Court last week. The Trump administration is almost sure to quickly appeal the decision before a higher court for emergency compensation.

Moss admitted Wednesday that the executive branch is faced with “enormous challenges to prevent and dissuade illegal entry” in the United States “and to conclude the overwhelming order book” asylum claims.

But he said that neither the American Constitution nor the Immigration and Nationality Act gives Trump “the radical authority affirmed in the proclamation and implementation of the councils”.

“A call for necessity cannot fill this void,” he said.

ACLU lawyer, Lee Genernt, who represented the complainants in the April legal proceedings, praised the “extremely important” victory decision for asylum seekers in the United States

“Not only will this save the lives of families fleeing a serious danger, but he reaffirms that the president cannot ignore the laws that Congress has adopted and the most basic premise of the separation of the powers of our country,” said Genernt.

ACLU and other applicants had argued that proclamation 212 (f) of the Trump administration in question had falsely cited an “invasion” on the southern border as a justification to refuse the protection of asylum seekers in the United States

“Under the proclamation, the government does exactly what the Congress by law has declared that the United States should not do,” they said in a court file earlier this year. “He returns asylum seekers – not only single adults, but also families – in countries where they are faced with persecution or torture, without allowing them to invoke the protections that Congress has provided.”

The judge’s decision was defined by Trump’s advisor, Stephen Miller, who described Moss as a “Marxist” judge in a job on X.

“To try to get around the Supreme Court’s decision on national injunctions, a Marxist judge said that all potential foreign future foreign foreign on foreign soil (for example, a large part of the planet Earth) are part of a protected world” class “, authorized to admission to the United States,” said Miller.

The news comes as Trump has sought to prioritize online immigration policies in his second presidential term. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments earlier this year on another signed order than Trump, who seeks to end the citizenship of the United States in the United States

The administration also repressed the deportations, invoking an immigration law in wartime of 1798 to send hundreds of migrants more quickly to a maximum security prison in El Salvador earlier this year.
