A politically correct judge in California has ruled that all illegal youths and their parents should be immediately released from immigration detention centers and be allowed to roam about freely in the USA with no repercussions.
This judge apparently believes it is cruel punishment for illegal immigrants to be stopped and detained at the border.
California U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee refused the government’s request to reconsider her ruling in late July that children held in family detention centers after cross the US-Mexico border illegally must be released quickly.
Gee called the government’s latest arguments “repackaged and reheated.’ She found Homeland Security in beach of a longstanding legal agreement stipulating that immigrant children cannot be held in unlicensed facilities, and gave agency officials until October 23 to comply.
Homeland Security lawyers asked the judge to reconsider her ruling, arguing that the agency was already doing its best to move families through detention quickly and that the facilities had been converted into short-term processing centers.
This is the second time Gee has ruled that detaining children violates parts of a 1997 settlement from an earlier case. The settlement requires minors to be placed with a relative or in appropriate non-secure custody within five days. If there is a large influx of minors, times may be longer, but children still must be released as expeditiously as possible, under the terms of the law.
Here’s an idea, let’s release them, alright, BACK to the countries where they belong.
