In one of the most disgraceful and unhinged displays of judicial activism we have ever seen, a single federal judge in California—appointed by Joe Biden, of course—has just accused the Trump administration of racism for daring to enforce our nation’s immigration laws.
With a ruling filled with bizarre, slanderous language, U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson has single-handedly blocked President Trump’s lawful plan to end a “temporary” immigration program for over 60,000 foreign nationals.
This isn’t a legal decision; it’s a political hit job from the bench. It is a direct assault on the rule of law, the will of the American people, and the authority of our President to secure our country.
A Political Hit Job From the Bench
The judge’s ruling is not a sober legal analysis. It is a radical, leftist political screed. In a truly stunning passage, she accused the administration of telling immigrants to “atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood.”
This is not the language of a federal judge. This is the unhinged ranting of a far-left activist who is using her robe as a political weapon to attack a President she despises.
By accusing the President of “racial animus” for simply following the law, this judge has disgraced her office. This is a clear signal that the judicial swamp will stop at nothing to try and block the America First agenda.
‘Temporary’ is Not Supposed to Mean Forever
Let’s be clear about what this fight is actually about. The program in question is called Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The key word is TEMPORARY. It was created to offer a short-term safe haven for people from countries experiencing a temporary crisis, like a natural disaster or a civil war.
But for decades, weak and cowardly politicians have refused to end these designations, allowing TPS to become a permanent, backdoor amnesty program. Many of these individuals have been here for over 20 years on a program that was never meant to last more than a year or two.
President Trump and his courageous DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem, are simply doing what the law has always demanded: reviewing the status and ending it when the “temporary” conditions no longer exist. This isn’t radical. It is the restoration of law and order.
Fulfilling a Promise is Not a Crime
The judge’s other absurd argument is that the administration’s decision was “preordained” and therefore illegal. This is perhaps the most anti-democratic argument ever made from a federal bench.
Of course the decision was preordained! President Trump PROMISED the American people he would end the abuse of our humanitarian immigration programs. He ran on it. He won on it. Fulfilling the promises you made to the voters is called democracy. It is not an “arbitrary and capricious” violation of federal procedure.
This activist judge is essentially ruling that a President is not allowed to implement the very policies he was elected to carry out. It’s an insane and dangerous precedent.
This outrageous ruling will not stand. The administration has vowed to appeal, and they will win. The law clearly gives the DHS Secretary the discretion to make these decisions, a point the administration has successfully argued all the way to the Supreme Court.
This is just another battle in the long war against the deep state and its allies in the activist judiciary. But it is a war that President Trump is not afraid to fight, and a war that he will ultimately win for the American people.
