A representative for Customs and Border Protection told HuffPost, "Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States."

Let me break this down:

Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship Can’t put it any simpler.

      Seems like a good couple million dollar lawsuit against the government, especially if done against a judge’s orders.

        The article is about Trump (who has a history of ignoring court rulings) completely ignoring the courts, and your suggested solution is… the courts?

        Wake the fuck up.

          I mean, the court ruled against him and he doesn’t control the purse strings. So if courts rule that rights were violated and the government can be sued I don’t think he can dodge that easily.

            It’ll be appealed to scotus, who have ruled that he has immunity for official acts, and the claimant can get fucked.

        And then if the executive branch ignores that decision?

        There needs to be another plan than let them battle it out on the courts if they ignore court orders.

          I thought the executive branch didn’t control the budget, so wouldn’t really be able to block it. But I’m not American and don’t know the US system that well.

            You’re not wrong…

            The problem were finding out now is, there is no way for the branches to enforce their decisions unless they all agree.

            If executive disagrees with judicial orders and doesn’t follow and orders the departments under executive branch control to follow their orders anyway, there is no way for judicial or legislation branches to hold the executive accountable and stop them. Other than legislation impeaching people.

            Not sure how many scenarios the US has been in where legislation ignored judicial ruling. And can’t think of how judicial could ignore legislation and executive branches exactly…

        Don’t forget that the DOJ is using a new tactic… of requiring those that bring law suits against them to fully fund in advance the entire trial.
