Judge Fred Biery lambasts Trump’s ā€˜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 ā€œill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotasā€ that appears to require ā€œtraumatizing children.ā€

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The judge condemned the administration’s apparent ā€œignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independenceā€ and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against ā€œa would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.ā€

    Perhaps, but, I won’t complain about Christian theology being used against Christofascists, of which I suspect many ICE agents are. Donald Trump has been known to wave a Bible around. Turnabout is fair play.

        I doubt that just based on the number of rabidly Zionist Jews relative to their Christian counterparts in civilization society. I suspect many ā€œProud/Boogaloo Boyā€ types comprise a significant portion of their ranks. Like 50% or greater, and veterans, jobless young ones who are still quite impressionable.

          Number wise, the proud boogalo boys are definitely bigger. But despite that, most significant rallies and movements were mostly initiated by jewish zionists. Actually quite a few ā€œwhite supremacy christianā€ groups were funded by jewish zionists. Nonetheless, both groups deserve exactly the same thing. Neither the zionists are true jews and neither those so called ā€œchristiansā€ have anything to do with Christianity.
