Trump's 'Bad Hombres' Remark Among Many in States' DACA Suit

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexicans, some of whom he referred to as “bad hombres” and "rapists,” were highlighted in a lawsuit by a group of more than a dozen states challenging his decision to end a program protecting so-called Dreamers from deportation.

The suit filed by attorneys general from 15 states plus the District of Columbia seeks to block Trump’s plan to roll back a program used by about 800,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. About three quarters of the young people are Mexicans.

Ending the program "is a culmination of President’s Trump’s oft-stated commitments — whether personally held, stated to appease some portion of his constituency, or some combination thereof — to punish and disparage people with Mexican roots," according to the complaint, which was filed Wednesday in federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

The administration will end President Barack Obama’s 2012 policy directive, formally known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, in six months, giving Congress time to pass legislation to protect the program’s beneficiaries, called Dreamers. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, in announcing the action Tuesday, described Obama’s initiative as an “unconstitutional exercise of authority by the executive branch.”

1. Excellent

If there is anything redeeming about the Buffoon-in-chief, it is his congenital inability to control his mouth. He gives ammunition for lawsuits like this.

Same strategy used to fight the travel bans.

Well done!

P.S. The Donald, please keep tweeting away to your "base"....just keep on!

2. I saw someone wearing a Bad Hombre tee shirt at a DACA rally!

It said, "I'm a Bad Hombre". I wish more of them would have been printed before the election.

4. AG Schneiderman was on Rachel's show.

Among the topics:

Schneiderman explained his latest lawsuit against Trump for his decision to end DACA, which Maddow pointed out was similar to his lawsuit over Trump’s travel ban, both of which the AG alleges are based on “racial prejudice.”

“It’s a provocative argument but it was argued successfully by our coalition of attorneys general,” Schneiderman said. “Here, since the first days of his campaign, Donald Trump flagrantly displayed an anti-Latino, particularly anti-Mexican discriminatory animus, calling them ‘rapists’ and ‘murderers’, disparaging a judge because of his Mexican heritage… and it clearly has a disparate impact because 93% of the DACA grantees are Latino and 78% are Mexican. So if you wanted to do something to a group you’ve been disparaging for a couple of years, this would be a pretty good opportunity.”

He believes the courts will see the “pretext” of “discriminatory animus” and thought how Trump was “turning on” the 800,000 DREAMers was “fundamentally unfair.”
