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The judge condemned the administration’s apparent ā€œignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independenceā€ and Thomas Jefferson’s warnings against ā€œa would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation.ā€

    A federal judge, one of our last barriers against actual, literal fascism and authoritarian takeover and our last hope for turning this around, signs an order for an objectively good thing in a predominantly christian region, with two verses referenced, an obviously defiant stand against literal evil forces trying to capture the country.

    Fucking hell, someone tell me these jackals are AI bots or something sent by Mossad to destabilize our country. If I knew I lived next to someone who had this kind of attitude I would drop everything I’m doing to devote the rest of my days to sabotaging and annoying them in the most vexing ways possible.

    This isn’t just a US issue you clowns, if you’re not in the US it’s coming for you next. We need to celebrate wins against bad things or you’re part of the bad things.

      You can’t build good things on a foundation of sand like religion. That is not a lasting solution and building on Christianity is what brought USA to this point.
