US president Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the American judiciary after a federal judge halted his administration’s plan to cancel legal protections for over half a million migrants.
In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump accused the courts of being politically biased and obstructing his agenda.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Can you believe it? A Judge ruled against us on 530,000 illegal migrants (that Joe Biden flew over the border in his program to transport illegals into the country by airplane) saying that they can’t be looked at as a group, but that each case has to be tried individually. Based on the court system, that would take approximately 100 years. What is going on with our courts? They are totally out of control. They seem to hate ‘Trump’ so much, that anything goes!”
He continued, “We are trying to bring our country back from the destruction caused by the Democrats and crooked Joe Biden. I won on a policy of common s, and what common sense do we have when we have to have 530,000 trials? This radicalised Judge is saying that sleepy Joe Biden can fly more than half a million illegals into America, in one day, but we have to hold many years of long and tedious trials to fly each and every one of them back home. Where is the justice here???”
The judge Trump referred to is Indira Talwani, an Indian-American district judge in Boston, who issued an emergency stay on Monday. Her ruling halted the administration’s move to cancel humanitarian parole for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. She argued that the migrants had entered the US legally under Biden’s programme and were not subject to the expedited removal Trump’s team was trying to apply.
In her order, Talwani said the Trump administration had acted on a flawed interpretation of immigration law, with expedited removal applicable to non-citizens entering the United States illegally, but not those authorised to be in the country, such as through the parole program
