Detained Immigrant Children Are Entitled to Hearings, Court Rules

[CaliCat 3,957]

In these days of sucking up to the so-called president, it's reassuring to know that the 9th circuit, whose judges are as important - if not more - than so-called president Trump, are willing to stand for the Constitution, no matter what.

 

A complete meltdown and white out is expected on VJ. LOL.

 

Detained Immigrant Children Are Entitled to Hearings, Court Rules

LOS ANGELES — Undocumented immigrant children detained by federal authorities are entitled to hearings to determine whether they should remain confined, a federal appeals court ruled on Wednesday.

A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, ruled that immigration authorities must abide by a 1997 legal settlement that established a policy for the detention, release and treatment of minors in immigration custody.

That agreement, named the Flores settlement after the teenage girl who brought the original case, stipulated that a child in deportation proceedings be afforded a bond hearing before an immigration judge.

The federal government had argued that Congress passed laws in 2002 and 2008 that abrogated the settlement, terminating the minors’ right to a bond hearing.

The Ninth Circuit panel disagreed, saying that neither law abolished the bond-hearing requirement for unaccompanied minors.

“Rather, the statutes leave ample room for immigration judges to conduct bond hearings for these children,” Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for the court.

“In the absence of such hearings, these children are held in bureaucratic limbo, left to rely upon the agency’s alleged benevolence and opaque decision making,” he said in a 40-page decision, which noted evidence submitted by the plaintiffs that minors were held for months, and even years, without hearings to review the basis for detention.

The 9th circuit. Lol.

 

I have no idea why these worthless judges are even allowed to enter a courtroom? Not all I guess, but since the Supreme Court overrides about 80% of the 9th circuit rulings....one wonders what drugs they are on or if they even know how to read.

 

deported them all

You fell for that one as well? That's been debunked, a long time ago. 

 

What I love about this is that these judges are as important as Trump. They are his peers - which of course, is demeaning to them - but all the same, I love it the way they stand for the constitution.

 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Yep. The constitution, that pesky document that prevents the country from being stuck in the 1950s.

So the 9th circuit judges are more important than the president?  Where does it say that in the Constitution?

How does asking questions of what someone wrote equate to agreement?
