Two 45 judges and an Obama judge.

1. It doesn't matter what the courts say they're never going to obey the courts

2. They had actually started removing people from there before this ruling, and relocating them to other facilities.

Not sure how many were left though.

3. Majority of the arrested immigrants are not criminals...................

and yet that's the way they are being treated, some under torturest and many inhumanely situations.

Then this fucked up administration can blow up boats?

Then denying newly naturalized citizens the right to vote?

UGH, shithole and comrades need to go.

4. What took so long?

I’m surprised this stay wasn’t put in place when the ruling was issued a couple of weeks ago.

Is the administration’s legal team slipping?

5. Of course.
