This ruling is a direct slap in the face to Federal Judges who overstep their bounds on purpose, and they would continue to do so if not for this decision. While this helps with our immigration law, it doesn’t address the problem of the rogue judges playing politics.
We need a revamp of our Justice system because we need more checks and balances at the Federal Judge level with repeated violations of our Constitution. Especially in New York. All IMO.
“The Supreme Court has unanimously decided to handcuff liberal judges who want to help the growing number of migrants who lose their asylum pleas at the Justice Department.
“The unanimous decision in Urias–Orellana v. Bondi is a win for the Trump Administration in maintaining a high burden to overturn [the Justice Department’s] immigration courts in asylum cases,” said lawyer Jonathan Turley.
The decision means that millions of migrants will face even tougher pressure to leave the United States, especially after they are arrested by ICE.
The win is one of many gains by President Donald Trump’s deputies as they try to accelerate the number of self-deportations and ICE deportations. For example, in December, 38 percent of the migrants detained by ICE chose to go home rather than file lawsuits to stay in the United States.
The court decision in Urias-Orellana v. Bondi was written by the court’s most left-wing judge, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
A migrant who wants a federal judge to reverse the Justice Department’s rejection of his asylum plea “must show that the evidence he presented was so compelling that no reasonable factfinder could fail to find the requisite fear of persecution,” she wrote.
Because of Congress’s laws, a judicial override is “warranted only ‘if, in reviewing the record as a whole, any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.’” she wrote.
The language means that federal judges can step in only when the Justice Department’s immigration judges make egregiously unfair decisions.”
