Astounding Trump Victory in 9th Circuit on Immigration

As the President would say, “so much winning.” The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has just handed President Trump an astounding victory on his immigration policy. The victory made all that much sweeter, since it was handed to the administration by the usually very liberal 9th Circuit.

The victory just goes to show how important Trump’s judicial appointments have been, and how those have specifically reshaped the former bastion of liberal judicial activism that was the 9th Circuit.

The newly moderate Court, handed the President a major win last week when it lifted a nationwide injunction on his asylum policy.

On the day of the 9th Circuit’s decision, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in California had reinstated a nationwide halt on the Trump administration’s plan to prevent most migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, if they first crossed through another country on the way.

But in an administrative order, that was first reported by Politico, the 9th Circuit rolled Tigar’s ruling right back, saying that for now it should only apply to the confines of the 9th Circuit — which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington.

The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit now has seven Trump-appointed federal judges — more than any other federal appellate bench. The radical transformation of the court, which has 29 seats, is largely the result of Trump’s push to nominate conservative judges and bypass traditional consultations with Senate Democrats.

Thirteen of the 29 seats are now occupied by GOP-appointed judges. Last year, that number stood at six.

“Thanks to Trump, the liberal 9th Circuit is no longer liberal,” The Washington Post lamented earlier this year.

History of the Asylum Injunction

Judge Tigar first blocked the asylum policy in July, after a lawsuit by groups that help asylum seekers. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals then partially limited the impact of Tigar’s injunction. That meant the policy was blocked in the border states of California and Arizona but not in New Mexico and Texas.

In his ruling Monday, Tigar circled back, and stressed a “need to maintain uniform immigration policy” and found that nonprofit organizations such as Al Otro Lado don’t know where asylum seekers who enter the U.S. will end up living while making their case to remain in the country. Tiger, citing “new evidence,” issued a second nationwide injunction on Sept. 9.

Trump said he disagreed with the judge’s ruling, hours before the 9th Circuit backed him up on the 10th and again limited the injunction.

Newly appointed White House Press Secretary, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement that a sole judge shouldn’t have the ability to exert such a broad impact on immigration policy, and she noted that the administration’s request to the Supreme Court to set aside the injunction is still pending.

The courts have halted some of Trump’s key policy shifts on immigration, including an earlier version of an asylum ban. The President has prevailed on several fronts after initial legal setbacks, for example, when the Supreme Court recently lifted a freeze on using Pentagon money to build border walls.

People are generally eligible for asylum in the U.S. if they credibly fear return to their home country because they would be persecuted based on race, religion, nationality or membership in a particular social group.

The vast majority of asylum claims are denied, however, and the administration has said the system is being abused as a means of economic and humanitarian relief when it was intended to be used for limited and extraordinary cases.

    • tRUMP is not ONLY not qualified for the Presidency, he is DANGEROUS as our leader. He will lead us to war…mark my words.
      He and his principal aids and his absolutely MORONIC cabinet has pushed government back decades and promise to bury our great democracy!

      • Peter. No hay otra persona con mas cojones que el Presidente Donald J. Trump. Si no es por el, este pais estubierra en violencia y matandose uno al otro. Clinton es una tramposa, y mentirosa, y tu devieras apprender hablar espanol, porque los Hispanos vamos rendir el poder, pendejo.

      • PROOF please, War with who???
        Trump just pulled out troops from Syria and the left went wild…..
        Obama bombed 7 countries during his presidency, and did it so horribly that we saw an increase in terrorism all over the world.
        Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan were hit mercilessly, and no one said a word on the left.
        Where is the doom and gloom? We took out the leader of ISIS with no US casualties, and there is no threat of war.

      • I read your comments and it appear like you came out from a cave or a jungle moron. Where have you been all these years? The more I buy you books and send you to a higher degree of education the dumber you get. It know wonder why America is in such a mess. We got a lot of brainless moron.

      • Mr. Fazio; please go back to your day-job of twirling pizza dough. You might have some expertise there. Sorry, but I don’t think Italy will welcome you back, since you have over-stayed your visa in the USA. Try Bangladesh, or Pakistan.

    • The majority American people voted for President Trump. It is rediculess how he is being treated. No other presidents were treated this way. May be it takes a Non-Politician to “Make America Great Again”. He is not my favorite person. But there was no choice which of the 2 candidates to choose. It was either Minnie Mouse or Donald Duck. The Donald wan. Let’s respect him and listen to his ideas. Yes he has his quirks but we all do. He is not talking about legal lmmigrants. There is a difference between legal and illegal. Illegal means we all have to pay their housing, food, health care and what else
      not. I worked hard for the money and I do not want to pay other people’s existance that I don’t know that came here without permission. We have enough of these people already on Welfare who could work but do not want to. Yes there are some that need it but please let this be people that really need it.oh sure a lot will say “I need it”. We are full to the rim. So please let President Trump build the WALL. It would be much cheaper than supporting all these people. Do these countries wherever they come from have any people left?? Please Liberals and Democrats don’t fight the President ! Help him to “Make America Great Again.

  1. Trumps obvious goals in his immigration policies are to make America white again. Anyone who doesn’t see this or who denies it is very likely thinking along the same lines as our astoundingly bigoted, self interested, piece of sh*t president. How much longer are we going to sit on our butts and watch this maniac destroy
    the country we love? What we know now, as was just this past week uncovered, is that AS PRESIDENT (and not simply as the candidate for the presidency that Robert Mueller investigated and whose months upon months of work was thwarted by Trump’s legal department as well as his specifically appointed Justice Department) Trump committed crimes, WHILE IN OFFICE, that are indictable, and punishable by long prison terms. As expected, Trump and his toadies denied what is clear to anyone with a brain that there was any wrong-doing and went so far as to block any and all details from getting to Congress. It appears that impeachment is our country’s only way to get this megalomaniac out of office and out of our lives. If, God forbid, he is elected to as second term all of his crimes and wrong doings that have so damaged our country and our government will go unpunished because of our Statute of Limitations. THIS IS THE REASON WHY TRUMPS IS SO FU*KING DESPARATE TO WIN REELECTION AT ANY AND ALL COSTS. WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN……..NO WAY, NO HOW.

    • You Sir are a lunatic and I’m NOT sorry for you and others like you…..
      Hmmmm – Ukrainian secret service and INTEL have now named Hitlery as a participant in this outrage…….The circle is complete…..
      Dems are in full damage control and offensive after being caught and the truth coming out every day where they Colluded and obstructed by using the Russians – Ukrainians – Italy – Spain and the UK ALONG WITH Australia…..
      As Bernie said – the real problem with climate change is OVERPOPULATION…..He’s calling for the Sanger deal “Birth Control except for the DNA perfect” – soon massive MANDATORY sterilization of the masses…..What you haven’t seen is the babies being aborted LIVE and then gasping to breath being tossed into hazmat bags and thrown away….

      • Sir you sound like an unpatriotic liberaly brainwashed p.o.s.who should be charged with treason.if you don’t like President Trump then move to mexico,0r the middle east.PLEASE!!.JUST PACK YOUR SH-T AND GET THE F–K OUT.Take your communist Democrat ideals and leave.people who want the United States to remain the greatest country in the world do not need you here.so go fly away communist.and take Sanders with you.

        • One of the most dangerous illusions one can have is that you own the country and that anyone who disagrees with you doesn’t belong. We used to get “love it or leave it” all the time in the 60s but every citizen in America has just as much right to participate. I will even say that right now anybody that BLINDLY supports this EXTREMELY corrupt potus is NOT as patriotic as someone with their eyes open looking out for WE THE PEOPLE.
          The situation with Trump right now is not unlike the times with McCarthy? Look up Margaret Case Smith and her famous speech to the Senate in 1950. It is what the country needs NOW.

    • Apparently you have swallowed the whole annual production of Kool Aid! I feel offended by your ignorance!

      • You democrats should at least give Trump a chance before you start cutting him down. Your so sure he’s going to fail, and how crazy he is well if you want to know he’s crazy like a fox. But before you condemn him let’s see what happens. Then you can ride his ass. But until then shut the hell up.

    • hey hater the president welcomes legal imigration he just against illegal whicjh cost us taxpayers billions every yearwe have no problem if you can

      • To Lee cumbie…yes we should stop all immigration.were full now.no more from India,mexico,China, europe, or anywhere else.im glad you posted those numbers.thank you.

    • Sir you sound like an unpatriotic liberaly brainwashed p.o.s.who should be charged with treason.if you don’t like President Trump then move to mexico,0r the middle east.PLEASE!!.JUST PACK YOUR SH-T AND GET THE F–K OUT.Take your communist Democrat ideals and leave.people who want the United States to remain the greatest country in the world do not need you here.so go fly away communist.and take Sanders with you.

    • Dear Dr. Richard the fucking idiot, Trump is the best President this country has seen in decades. HE is dealing with corrupt murderous people like Hillary Clinton in the background and George Soros along with the corrupt deep state. You, sir, made remarks about my President with no proof NONE!!! So please Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking retard.

    • Your apparent hate for Donald Trump has blinded you to the appalling corruption from the dems that constantly gets shoved under the rug over and over

    • Gee Dr. Richard, what an idiotic response to this issue. Bottom line it’s all about illegal immigration, period. As a resident of California, having lived in Los Angeles and currently the Bay Area iv’e seen and continue to see and deal with the results of this issue: crime, higher taxes to pay for all the public assistance programs doled out to non citizens by the liberal socialists running this formerly clean, affordable and prosperous golden state into the ground. And when a US citizen who has to pay for all this BS needs public assistance, they get the finger behind their backs ‘the programs’s are broke etc’.. Thankfully the American people are fed up, have had enough crime, demise and having to pay higher and higher taxes to pay for all this BS and are finally waking up to this. By the way, a major portion of Hispanics here are well behind immigration reform as when they came here, they became US citizens and didn’t get handouts upon arrival. It’s not about keeping America white, it’s about securing the borders. Every sovereign nation has secure borders and immigration laws, why not us? FYI: As the grandson of immigrants who came to America, the right way mind you, my grandparents didn’t get a thing handed to them when they arrived here. They learned,English, got jobs and became US citizens They realized the great opportunity America gave them for better lives.

    • You talk like a idiot liberal Democrat that only has hate for the president of the United States that’s making America great again and you can’t see it all you see is hate and that will bring down our country

    • Dr Richard Have you not seen the statistic of the races? The white race is the minority now, there’s no way America can ever be a nation of whites and it never was. White people are removing themselves by only having one or two children while black people have 4 or 5. and Muslims braged the men had several wife’s and some fathered 45 children. So it is not likely the white people will ever take over the world.

    • That’s such BS. If these migrants were white, Trump would still block them. It’s not about color, it’s about fairness, safety and legality. What’s sad is that Democrats want illegals here because they are the closest thing to slaves that are available to your corrupt elites…they work for very little until they get fake documents. Democrats look away as women are raped and children are sold over the border. They only care about power and election of their oppressive rulers.
      I think it’s so interesting that Democrats support islam though. Nevermind that it’s a racist, sexist, homophobic cult…

    • Since your a doctor and want all the illegals I suggest you have them come to your house and you pay the expense of having them for as long as it takes for them to become leagal. I have no objection if they are legal when they come to the US if they pay their own way.The good president is looking out for all of us by these actions. Also they must be law abiding citizens.

    • You are a racist and a fake. If your white only theory is true why are most legal immigrants not white Richard?

    • Dr. Richard, (self proclaimed doctorate I presume), Could you be more narrow minded and self serving? The immigration policy being touted as “Trump’s immigration policy”, is nothing more than enforcing existing immigration laws. There is not one mention of denying a specific race or religion entry into the US. And, if you were as learned as your moniker is supposed to lead one to believe, you’d know this.
      In addition, there is no need for profanity or blasphemy, so clean up your act. If you can’t speak without spewing forth profanity, then perhaps you’ve really got nothing productive or substantive to add to the discussion.

    • Richard, you are a delusional idiot. You claim that Trump has committed crimes and his DOJ has covered them up. Well, prove it asshole. Then if you want to talk cover up talk about the fast and furious debacle, or the fake birth certificate that Obama finally produced, or the sale of uranium to Russia, the fact that the Russians paid Hillary off. Trump has enough respect for our system to follow court orders even though they are illegal. Obama disregarded a supreme court ruling pertaining to the oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico and nothing was done. Obama was trying to get Hillary elected so there would be on record a worse president than him.

    • There’s much you don’t understand. And you sound nuts, besides. Trump is the best man for keeping America strong and independent, certainly nothing you care to know about obviously, and exactly what the USA needs at this time in our history. Get out of the leftist group-think and get with it.

    • DR. Richard, You sir have been drinking the lefts kool-aid far too long. President Trump has done more to free us from the grasp of the Socialist Democrats than any other President to date. The Dems want us to be Venezuela and control all that we do. The Socialist Democrat Party is the “ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE” more than the MSM who all “SUCK”

  2. Where the hell is the comment I posted an hour ago? Is this the freedom of the press and of free speech we are supposed to believe in. Do you ever print postings that critical of your boy? It certainly appears that you do not; why not?

    • To: DR.Richard…Sir you sound like an unpatriotic liberaly brainwashed p.o.s.who should be charged with treason.if you don’t like President Trump then move to mexico,0r the middle east.PLEASE!!.JUST PACK YOUR SH-T AND GET THE F–K OUT.Take your communist Democrat ideals and leave.people who want the United States to remain the greatest country in the world do not need you here.so go fly away communist.and take Sanders with you.

    • Go Trump!!! Keep up the great job you are doing by making America Great Again!!!!! You have a lot of supporters, ignore the Morons that are trying to make our country a socialist country, they can all he eat a bowl of p**p!!

  3. This just goes to show that the only thing he appointed is a bunch of racist, discriminatory Republicans to do more harm to people. This asshole of a illegitimate president who lost the popular vote, who co-conspired with Russia to rig the election, who co- c inspired in the murder of a journalist, who separated families as if this was slavery times. Fuck him and anyone who thinks Luke him. He will not make it to 270 not without outside help.

    • WOW, AREN’T YOU INTELLIGENT. ANYONE WHO THINKS LUKE HIM? FUCK YOU BACK, YOU TREASONOUS TRAITOR. HOW MUCH IS GEORGE SORRYASS PAYING YOU? OH, BY THE WAY, I’M NATIVE AMERICAN & MY EX. HUSBAND IS BLACK, SO GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND STOP TRYING TO ACT AS IF YOU ARE PERFECT. JUST ANOTHER SNOWFLAKE. GO FIND YOUR SAFE SPACE. I’LL BET YOU’RE PART OF THE TERRORIST ANTIFA CROWD. BEATING UP ON ELDERLY PEOPLE IN GROUPS. I’LL BET YOU’RE JUST A LITTLE BRAT WHO STILL LIVES IN YOUR MOMS’ BASEMENT! LMAO! THIS IS MY OPINION & I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO VOICE IT JUST LIKE YOU. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I’M A VETERAN, USAF, 1976-1982, Sgt. when I got out. What have YOU DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY EXCEPT HATE AMERICA? #MAGA WWG1WGA

  4. One of the the most dangerous precedents that has been set in recent years has been virtually turning foreign policy decisions, immigration policy and other National interests over to judges by taking every decision made that political activists don’t agree with to court. And for some reason they are allowed one way or another to judge shop for the ones most likely to decide in their favor. I don’t think we want lawyers and judges that no one has elected to anything in most cases deciding national policies and overturning presidential decisions!!!

  5. Any U. S. District judge who says his ruling(s) apply nationwide, that is, outside the boundaries of his district, should be considered for impeachment for exceeding his authority.

  6. These 9th circuit judges are responsible for allowing homeless drug addicts Rome free to steal and panhandle their next fix. Right in plain view on the sidewalks. Poop all over the place. Immigration when illegal is still illegal. HURRAY for Trump, someone had to stop the thievery of our country. Which we built over many many wars. Freeloaders

  7. Dr Richard,
    Only you dimwitcrats see it that way. Trump is trying to protect this country from a national security standpoint. Amongst those entering from the south border are not just brown people from Latin America. They are also brown people from the Middle East who seek to do us harm. In case you don’t know, they are called terrorists. There are already more than 2,000 known sympathizers being watched and at least another 2,000 not yet discovered in the US just waiting for the signal to attack.
    Anyone entering through legitimate legal means are welcome no matter where they come from. Just enter legally!!
    And if you can’t understand that then you are the bigoted one here! And you can’t call me a whitey because I’m not! I’m brown and believe in the rule of law and the sanctity of our borders. Without borders, we are not a country!!
    You are obviously a bigoted man of color!!
    You liberals only want illegals to increase your illegal voter base.

  8. Good morning Dr:Richard let me give you some very good advice. STOP watching the fake news and listening to. MSNBC, CNN and THE VIEW. You sound like your losing your mind. The economy is doing great, more people are working jobs, people have more money in their PAYCHECKS. According to The Department of Labor since President Trump took office more than 400,000 African Americans found work, simpatico Black President could not do in 8 years in office. More than 3 million people have been taken off of Welfare and put back to work. More than 40 million dollars spent on the Russian and Trump by Robert Muller. Only to find NOTHING. The more Robert Muller and his 13 democratic investigators to tie President Trump to the Russians . All they discovered was the ties President Obama and Secretary Hillary Clinton has to the fake info they fed to the news media MSNBC and CNN. Education is the greatest freedom we have. If you keep listening to the fake news, you will never know the TRUTH . The truth will set you FREE.

  9. listen up asshole the loonie libs have done a good job of brainwashing you along with help from the fake news media the truth is they can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time and i can see they fooled you but one thing is for certain they will never ever fool me

  10. Those of you bitching about Trump’s Immigration policy must have had your head up your arses when Klinton did the same thing. When it is your boy doing it …he can do no wrong…but when it’s ours he is a racist. Have you people ever been to other countries and seen their immigration policies? Ours’ is very loose even with Trumps proposals compared to places like India. Try becoming a permanent resident of India and see what happens. You can’t marry in there like you can over here. You have to have close relatives that were born over there. I don’t see anyone calling Indians racist?

  11. Gee Dr. Richard, what an idiotic response to this issue. Bottom line it’s all about illegal immigration, period. As a resident of California, having lived in Los Angeles and currently the Bay Area iv’e seen and continue to see and deal with the results of this issue: crime, higher taxes to pay for all the public assistance programs doled out to non citizens by the liberal socialists running this formerly clean, affordable and prosperous golden state into the ground.

They learned,English, got jobs and became US citizens They realized the great opportunity America gave them for better lives

  12. Well Dr. Richard, lets see what happens when the FISA Report comes out. That Biotch Hitlery & her demonic minions are going to be sent to GITMO for TREASON. The punishment for TREASON IS DEATH BY HANGING. I THINK YOU’RE A TROLL BEING PAID BY GEORGE SORRYASS. YOU’RE A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY. YOU ARE WELCOME TO LEAVE ANY TIME YOU WANT. AND DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YA WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YA! I’LL BET YOU DRINK “ADRENOCHROME!” OR MAYBE YOU EAT WALNUT SAUCE, OR BOTH. THAT IS MY OPINION. YOU’RE PATHETIC. #MAGA WWG1WGA

  13. Commander in chief of America I will be voting for you 2020 thank you for a job well done IAM a veteran take care of our brothers and sisters who keep us safe education for all Americans Wil keep our country great Mr trump don’t stop get big pharma too Mr trump drugs don’t cure disease’s natural plants read the micozoi files please

  14. Way to go President Trump, make America great again! Why is it other countries can boast about their country , yet when President Trump talks about putting America first or taking care of our own citizens first, there’s a problem?? This President follows through on what he says and isn’t a kiss ass to the left, which the liberals can’t handle! can’t wait to vote AGAIN for Pres Trump!

  15. Amen….TRUMP 2020
    Clean the SWAMP starting with Congress… Pulsia…Sniff. Etc. Making America great again.

    TRUMP 2020. Can’t wait and the misleading Demoncraps… GONE

  16. You sir, are living in an alternate universe. Trump is not desperate to win re-election, the people are desperate to elect him, to avoid people with your delusional views from being in public office.

  17. I only have one thing to say and that is keep the damn emigrants out of our country and leave them where they belong, in their own country!!! Trump is doing the right thing by trying to build a wall To keep them OUT. They don’t belong here!!!

  18. Mr. Fazio, pure conjecture with no supporting evidence. Typical democrat response. Most Americans do not support the liberal/socialist agenda. So get prepared for 4 more years!

  19. Your response is laughable,
    Who is controlling the media,
    Who is conducting “McCarthy LIKE” hearings over and over again???
    Who is promoting violence thru Hollywood, sports and liberal cesspools like San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
    Perhaps you should watch “Dying in Seattle” and the LA Version.
    Liberal cities are war zones with gangs and drugs and families gone off track.
    Poverty doesn’t mean stupid, or irresponsible. It just means poverty.
    In the old days, urban neighborhoods were nothing like they are today, and this started in the late 70’s.
    Black unemployment is so low now, there is no excuse for not working if you are able bodied.
    It’s white liberals who continue to paint the picture that Blacks are incapable of rising up and joining the middle and upper class. TO SAY THEY CAN’T, THAT IS RACIST!!

    My grand daughter is being raised with strong values, love of family, god and country, and she will be an amazing woman, and no one will tell her she can’t succeed just because she’s black. She will study hard and go to ANY college she wants, and she will earn the respect from others by the respect she has for herself……

  20. Quote: “Thirteen of the 29 seats are now occupied by GOP-appointed judges. Last year, that number stood at six. “Thanks to Trump, the liberal 9th Circuit is no longer liberal,” The Washington Post lamented earlier this year.” FAKE NEWS At least it is such if you believe in math. Twenty-nine seats would require at least 15 constitutionalists to cease being a Liberal activist Circuit. Even then since most of the cases are only heard by three judges quite a few {about half} of the decisions will still be Liberal. All that has happened so far is that more decisions will now be made based on law as opposed to the Liberal agenda.
