A federal appeals court delivered a crushing blow to activist judges and open-borders advocates Thursday, ruling that a district court judge completely overstepped his authority when he illegally freed pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil from immigration detention.
The three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled 2-1 that the lower court had no business interfering with immigration enforcement, finding that Khalil's claims should have been properly handled through immigration courts - not activist federal judges looking to undermine our immigration system.
This ruling comes at a perfect time as President Trump's second administration prepares to launch the largest deportation operation in American history. The decision reinforces that liberal judges cannot simply ignore federal immigration law whenever they disagree with enforcement.
Another Win Against Judicial Activism
For too long, radical district court judges have acted like they're above the law, issuing nationwide injunctions and releasing dangerous individuals who should be in detention. This appeals court decision sends a clear message: follow the law or get overturned.
Khalil, described as a "pro-Palestinian activist," represents exactly the type of foreign agitator who has no business being released into American communities while his immigration status remains unresolved. Patriots across the country are sick and tired of watching our immigration laws get trampled by bleeding-heart judges more concerned with virtue signaling than public safety.
The timing couldn't be better for the Trump administration's immigration agenda. With border czar Tom Homan preparing massive enforcement operations and Secretary Kristi Noem ready to secure our homeland, decisions like this one clear the legal pathway for serious immigration enforcement.
Deep State Judges Put on Notice
This ruling should serve as a warning to every activist judge who thinks they can obstruct President Trump's mandate to secure our borders and deport illegal aliens. The American people voted overwhelmingly for immigration enforcement, not judicial sabotage.
How many more activist judges need to be overturned before they learn that Americans demand our immigration laws be enforced?
