US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) is preparing to resume deportations of asylum seekers after a Trump-appointed Texas judge ruled against a 100-day suspension ordered by Joe Biden.

The ruling, in response to a challenge from a leading figure in the Republican effort to overturn the election result, marks the first shot in a legal rearguard action by Trump loyalists intended to stymie the Biden administration’s agenda.

Human rights activists said the resumption of flights also raised the question of whether Ice agents, who have been accused of systemic abuse of migrants and detainees, might seek to resist the new administration’s efforts to reform the agency.

An Ice plane left San Antonio for Port-au-Prince on Monday morning carrying Haitians detained on the US-Mexican border and expelled under a highly controversial Ice interpretation of public health laws.

1. I hope we see a quick appeal on this mess.

4. The court above is 19-7 Republican

12-5 if the hearing is en-band.

Above that is the 6-3 Supreme Court.

In reality- it doesn’t matter because this just blocks a temporary executive order that will be replaced soon enough by the proper process for reversing a bad policy.

2. The judge didn't throw it out. I believe he suspended until he could further review it

If he does rule against it, I’m sure the Biden camp will appeal

5. And that suspension is total bullshit....

It would have done far less harm, and made a hell of a lot more sense, to leave stop deportations while the order is reviewed.

3. Abolish ICE. Now. (Nt)
