Just 10 days into President Trump's historic mass deportation operation, an activist federal judge has already begun undermining America's immigration enforcement by ordering the immediate release of an illegal immigrant father and his 5-year-old child from a Texas detention facility.
The unidentified judge demanded the pair be released within three days, claiming that detaining the child was "traumatizing" - completely ignoring the fact that it was the father's illegal entry into our country that created this situation in the first place.
This is exactly the kind of judicial activism that has handcuffed America's immigration system for decades. While President Trump and his team work tirelessly to secure our borders and enforce the rule of law, liberal judges continue to prioritize the feelings of illegal immigrants over the safety and sovereignty of American citizens.
The Real Victims Are American Families
What about the trauma inflicted on American families by illegal immigration? What about the children who lose parents to fentanyl smuggled across our open borders? What about American kids whose schools are overcrowded and underfunded because resources are diverted to illegal immigrant children?
The judge's ruling sets a dangerous precedent that essentially gives illegal immigrants a "get out of jail free" card simply by bringing children with them during their lawbreaking border crossings. This incentivizes human trafficking and puts more children at risk.
"The Trump administration is committed to enforcing our immigration laws fairly but firmly, regardless of judicial interference," a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said in response to the ruling.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has made it clear that the administration will not be deterred by activist judges who refuse to respect American sovereignty. The mass deportation operation will continue as planned, protecting American communities from the chaos of illegal immigration.
This ruling proves why President Trump's promise to clean house in the federal judiciary remains as important as ever. How many more activist judges will try to sabotage America's immigration enforcement before we restore sanity to our courts?
