Judge Fred Biery lambasts Trump’s ‘ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented’ mass deportation campaign

A federal judge has ordered the release of a five-year-old boy and his father who were detained by federal immigration agents from their driveway in suburban Minneapolis and sent to a detention center in Texas.

In his ruling on Saturday, District Judge Fred Biery delivered a brutal assessment of Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign and an “ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas” that appears to require “traumatizing children.”

Liam Conejo Ramos was taken into federal custody from the driveway of his family’s home last week after officers arrested his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, who is seeking asylum in the United States. They were sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Texas, where the preschooler is reportedly sick, lethargic and asking for his mother, according to his family and lawmakers who visited him this week.

The judge condemned the administration’s apparent “ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence” and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against “a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.”

      Bringing your religion to a public office should get you immediately removed from it. They can serve their other interests in their own time. This man should be removed from office as he has let his personal interests corrupt his duty to justice.

          Matthew 19:14

          John 11:35

          Which was right under were the judge signed, Which was not part of the judges reasoning. What formed the basis of the judge’s reasoning was quoting Thomas Jefferson and the Consitution. Ultimately, the person that you are responding to is a troll and we all should ignore them.

                Incorrect. We should have more religion in the government. Priests should be in charge of everything, and children should only be allowed to read the bible in school. Also, the only book anyone is allowed to read ever should be the bible.
