Federal judge orders reuniting families: feds have 20 days, 14-days if children under 5-years.

by Original Quill Wed Jun 27, 2018 4:55 pm

"... a chaotic circumstance of the government’s own making" is what a Federal District Judge characterizes the situation as. The message seems to be, if the order cannot be met, that is proof-positive that the US government is a failure at governance.

People are being treated same as property, Judge says. Orders no more family separations. Parents cannot be detained or deported without their children Children under 5-years must be reunited with in 14-days.

A federal judge in San Diego issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday at the request of the American Civil Liberties Union that calls for all children affected by the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy to be reunited with their parents within 30 days.

In a strongly worded opinion, U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw wrote “the facts set forth before the court portray reactive governance — responses to address a chaotic circumstance of the government’s own making. They belie measured and ordered governance, which is central to the concept of due process enshrined in our Constitution.”

Under the order, children younger than 5 years old must be reunited with their parents within 14 days, while older children must be reunited with their parents within 30 days. Within 10 days, federal authorities must allow parents to call their children if they're not already in contact with them.

“The unfortunate reality is that under the present system migrant children are not accounted for with the same efficiency and accuracy as property. Certainly, that cannot satisfy the requirements of due process,” Sabraw wrote.

The order also says parents can’t be detained or deported without their children, unless they are unfit or pose a danger.

“This is a complete victory for these families and children who have been suffering for months,” said Lee Gelernt, an attorney with the ACLU. “Many of these parents and children thought they might never see each other again. They have literally been living through a nightmare and the court has now ended their trauma.”

The ruling comes after Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon last week responded to mounting public pressure by signing an executive order that halted the practice of separating children from parents who had been detained at the U.S.-Mexico border for illegal entry.

The shift prompted confusion as to how subsequent family arrests at the border will be handled and raised questions about the government’s plans for reunification.

Attorneys for the government argued in a filing Tuesday morning that the executive order already addresses the family separation concerns outlined in the ACLU lawsuit, and that federal agencies are working on reunification of the 2,000 or so families that remain apart.

“This Court should give the agencies time to take action, rather than issuing an injunctive order,” the government argued in the filing. “A court imposed process is likely to slow the reunification process and cause confusion and conflicting obligations, rather than speed the process of reunifying families in a safe and efficient manner.”

Lawyers with the Department of Justice argued that a court injunction would unnecessarily restrict the ability of immigration authorities “to carry out its immigration enforcement mission and address smuggling concerns,” and that the government must follow standards that protect children from parents who would pose a risk to the child’s welfare or from smugglers.

But the ACLU argued that the government has “no meaningful plan” for swiftly ensuring that family reunifications occur and pointed out that the executive order can be rescinded at any time.

“Thus, thousands of families remain separated, and many parents have no idea where their children are or how to find them,” Gelernt wrote in a filing. “With each added day of separation, the terrible trauma inflicted by the government on both parents and children continues to mount. Many of the children are babies and toddlers who every night are crying themselves to sleep wondering if they will ever see their parents again.”

The process for parents to find where their separated children are located has also been challenging, Gelernt argued. A hotline number parents can call regularly puts callers on hold for 30-minute periods, a stretch that is “infeasible for detained parents.” Lately, callers have been met with a busy signal.

The ACLU made the injunction request as part of its class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of two women who were separated from their children.

One woman, a citizen of the Democratic Republic of Congo, fled religious persecution and sought asylum legally at the San Ysidro Port of Entry with her 6-year-old daughter, the ACLU said. The two were initially detained together, but days later, the daughter was “forcibly separated” from her mother, while screaming and crying.

While the woman was placed in immigration custody and scheduled for expedited removal, her daughter was sent to a facility in Chicago. They were reunited after nearly five months of separation, according to the judge’s order.

The second woman, a citizen of Brazil, crossed the border illegally with her 14-year-old son. She was charged with entering the country illegally and her son was taken to a facility in Chicago. They were separated for eight months.

Sabraw earlier this month had decided the lawsuit against the government’s family separation practice could move forward, calling the practice “brutal, offensive” and contrary to “traditional notions of fair play and decency.”

The administration is doing nothing, setting up the claim that if they defy a federal judge's order, they can then claim impossibility of performance.

The wheels are spinning. Trump, on Monday, will appoint Justice Kennedy's replacement, making the Court 5 - 4 conservative. This case is setting a new precedent: Just claim impossibility, and you can ignore a court order.

I was led to believe that the US is corrupt?

How is it then that a Federal judge can rightly order and place a timeframe to reunite children with their parents?

scratch

Is that not a glowing example of how the US system can and does work against poor unlawful policies?

It already happened under Obama, when he held children of illegal immigrant parents in adult detention centers. They ruled that also was unlawful.

Its astounding how the radical left cannot even see that.

What I still fail to understand here is why on one criminal act are people advocating that children remain with their parents?

Normally on just about any other crime, that sees the suspected criminal locked up. They are rightly placed in the care of family members of the care system. So why are people jumping only up in arms over this and not other crimes, that involve parents?

Seriously?

Should not the standard apply universally?

Again, no kid should be seperated from their parents for a crime the parents committed. Unless they are placed in the care of a family memeber. Until a verdict has been reached. As the children are innocent. The parent/parents are possible suspects to a crime, are they not?

Because, simply put, only the administration and the deplorable Republicans are corrupt. There are many decent Americans, especially on the west coast and the northeast.

Case in point: this was a US District Court in San Diego, California. It will survive scrutiny by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in San Francisco, but Trump is packing the Supreme Court.

Hopefully, impeachment hearings will be well on the way by then.

Poor old Doddery Didge...

All at sea, again..

But then, unlike the USA (and Australia, NZ, Canada, et al..) poor ol' mother Britain still doesn't have separation of courts and government (we need only look to their House of Paedo's, err.. 'Lords'..).

Nor "separation of Church and State" -- the Church of England is the official religion of the UK, the Queen or King the titular head of the C-of-E, and some of their Bishops are guaranteed a minimum number of seats in the House of Paedo's.

Dodger seemingly doesn't want to understand that some entities can still be corrupt without the whole system being equally corrupted.

No, you are deliberately avoiding the distinction. A little lesson in political science may be appropriate here.

The Executive, or administrative, branch of a government is the active organ of government. The legislature determines the laws and direction, and the Courts come back around and check things to see if they are going along fine. But the Executive branch is the one that acts, and it has the military, the police, and all the branches, to actuate government.

Therefore, if the Executive branch is sour, it cannot but have a bad purpose in all acts of the government. Fortunately, we have the legislature to direct, but in this case the legislature is almost all Republicans, and so they are a bunch of pussies in the face of Trump.

The last recourse is the Judicial branch, which has an even stronger power: the power to say no to the impetuous child, so to speak. This is what has happened here, with the parent slapping the hand of the child.

America, which invented modern democratic, self-restrained government, calls this checks and balances. Thus, when we speak of America going sour, we think of the active branch of America--the Executive branch--as having gone off course. When the Judicial branch slaps America's hands, is the parent disciplining the child. Again, checks and balances.

I'm surprised at how little you Europeans know about America's founding. This is 3rd-grade stuff in America. In another thread about Thomas Jefferson (in the History, Archaeology and Anthropology section), you manifest the average European's ignorance as to theories of governance, so important a topic at the founding. Jefferson himself spoke of it in scientific terms: "an experiment on the practicability of republic government." Curtis, Recollections and Private Memoirs of George Washington (1861). You ought to study up on it if you are going to involve yourself in American political ideas, history or sociology...and not embarrass yourself.

So again Quill comes out with yet more drivel and offers nothing to substanciate his claim on the legal system being corrupt or even the US Political system being corrupt

You see Quill you are full of shit and now I am going to embarress your further

You claim Republicans are the only ones corrupt, this suggesting a view to discriminate against people based on beliefs. You cannot make it up, how again its you like you claim Trump is, being prejudiced and even wors. Adovating through a falsehood, that only Republicans are corrupt.

I mean by your view, and claim on Trump, you would be as bad and prejudice, to want to discriminate and not allow people to be judges based on their beliefs.

Would you also hold this view if a Muslim, was a candidate to be a Supreme Judge and held the view Homosexuality was a sin? Would you deny them based on their beliefs. Or actually understand that people actually apply the law of the US.

Now since the 1867 statute enacted in regards to defrauding the United States and then further Statutes on Corruption. There has been 47 Federal officals convicted for corruption.

Now heres the real kicker for you

Wait for it.

Wait for it

Wait for it

26 have been Democrats and 19 have been republicans and 2 N/A

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_federal_officials_convicted_of_corruption_offenses

lol!

Oh dear.........

Out of the 47, only one was a Judge and one was a District Judge, both Republicans

Hardly evidence over 151 years for corruption with Federal officials and shows the system works, Just like any country a few individuals that try to fraud the system

You are like how you claim your Nemsis Trump is. Prejudiced, a liar and want to deny people office based on beliefs

You cannot make it up what a lying prejudiced bigot you are

The IRA lost Bandit when he resigned NF...abruptly, after I fingered him and renamed him "Russ". Now you start playing the same game. I don't believe in coincidences.

So you have gone from claiming Republicans are corrupt and by extension judges, to now back tracking on this, saying Judges are alright

WTF??

Its very kind of you to worry about me

My point again is, that people are very hypocritical on the issue of the seperation of children, with suspected criminal parents.

To me, it shows how people use something to make a it political. As again many children are seperated from their parents when they are suspected or convicted of a crime. Hence my view, was to then state, what is the best thing to do for the children in this situation. To me, it is better to place them into the care of another family member or deport them all back to their country of origin or allow an open border policy (the later being suicidal for the US)

I mean like I say, the Supreme court ruled against Obama, when he kept children of illegal immigrants in family detention centres with their parents. As again the children are innocent. So both Trump and Obama had poor policies on this

So I appluad the judges here, as I did before under Obama. Which sadly does not resolve the issue here

Its like I said, either the US opens its borders to anyone, or it looks at a far better policy in the safe guarding of children of illegal immigrants. To me, they should always be placed in the care of other family members, until the court case has been resolved. Or the US could simple not detain this suspected illegal immigrants, but send them and their families staight back to their country of origin. I mean they are not refugees, because they would have declared assylum at the border and be protected by International law.

So the reality here and I stress again, you are looking at this from a view point to political score points. Not any actual reason to safeguard the children of illegal immigrants.

I though look for solutions to this actual issue, to ensure no child of illegal immigrants is detained or seperated.

Didge wrote:I though look for solutions to this actual issue, to ensure no child of illegal immigrants is detained or seperated.

No you don't. This is a ploy. You have moved on thru a position of lies, distortions, and a unique pattern of 'mirror-image' argument that draws attention to itself. You anticipate, and then spew back, performing a kind of disputatious judo move.

This is identical to the tactic of "psychographics", employed by the Russians in the 2016 election/Facebook ploy. Invented and used by Dr. Aleksandr Kogan, associate professor at St. Petersburg University, and his firm, Global Science Research, using grants from the Russian government to research “stress, health and psychological wellbineg in social networks”, the rhetorical end of this maneuver is to manage and direct attitudes in interactive politics. Trump uses it to control his base.

Truth doesn’t matter, position does. You anticipate the position of the interlocutor, and redirect him until he has changed his position--or, your characterization of it has--and you then enjoy the benefit of his position and logic. Didge, people have already begun to recognize that you are lying and manipulating positions in arguments. You've been busted. Lol.

The idea is to “use…private and personal information to create sophisticated psychological and political profiles”, then incorporate them into arguments that manipulate opinions. It’s called behavioural microtargeting…as applied to information warfare.

One Cambridge Analytica insider, a Canadian, says:

Christopher Wylie wrote:I think it’s worse than bullying, because people don’t necessarily know it’s being done to them. At least bullying respects the agency of people because they know. So it’s worse, because if you do not respect the agency of people, anything that you’re doing after that point is not conducive to democracy.

Of course, advertisers have known this for decades. People don’t care about advertisements. But when the same tactics are turned to basic beliefs, such as politics, they care that their agency is being manipulated.
