The Trump administration can’t immediately revoke the deportation protections and work permits of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally under a Biden-era program, a federal judge ruled Monday.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its plan to terminate the legal status of those migrants on April 24. The administration had warned those affected by its announcement that they would need to self deport by that date or face arrest and deportation by federal immigration agents.
But Talwani suspended the deportation warnings the government had sent and prohibited officials from revoking the legal protection, known as immigration parole, that the Biden administration granted to more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.
Yah, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about the law or anyone that gives a fuck about it. What is anyone going to do to stop him?
If Trump and his people ignore the courts, the only way to stop them is physically.
Oh, is that the sound of a mob assembling an iconic French life-discontinuing apparatus on Pennsylvania Avenue I hear?

Who’s going to stop him? At this point, it seems pretty obvious he can just do whatever he wants. The Constitution is dead, right along with the Judiciary’s authority to challenge him.
They didn’t really, though. They gave him immunity from being prosecuted for what he does as president…but that doesn’t mean everything he does is legal. His orders can still be struck down in court (or at least they should be).
The problem right now, is the fact that he is just ignoring the court’s orders. That is still illegal, even if he may not necessarily be prosecuted for it later. We’ll see what happens though. At some point the law needs to either hold up against him, or it means nothing, and the Constitution itself is no longer valid.
His orders can be struck down? You mean like the two times they defied court orders just today, and one of them was a unanimous SCOTUS ruling, with this Court?
That’s the freedom from judicial authority he was given.
The courts are irrelevant. I guess they might as well keep doing their thing, but they’ll just be ignored.
The pressure point needs to be congress. Those GOP fuckers need to be afraid of losing their jobs sooner than 2 years from now. Citizens need a way to remove their congressman who is not doing what they want them to do.
But can the court stop his Gestapo from kidnapping these people anyway and trafficking them for torture, slavery, imprisonment and possibly execution? Because they’re just doing it regardless of what the courts rule.
