Having just lost in the full 5th Circuit they are now going to a different court to try to impose their will on the Lone Star state.
The ACLU - which has no standing - is filing a class action lawsuit (who has standing here? Illegals certainly do not) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas Austin Division i.e. a friendly court that will give them the injunction they seek. Austin may as well be San Francisco or Boston.
This nonsense has to stop; the Left - funded ny billonaires like George Soros - just keeps plugging away in court until they find a judge who sides with them and they do so at the expense of the American People. There is a much larger class - the public - that wants not only an end to illegal immigration but to kick out the trespassing scofflaws. Who is representing them? Would the courts allow them to sue as a class?
From the article:
SB 4 "is one of the most extreme anti-immigrant laws ever passed by any state legislature in the country” and will "separate families and directly lead to racial profiling,” the ACLU argues.
It will also "transform our police and judges into immigration agents – threatening neighbors who have families here, who have lived here for years, even those who have legal status,” ACLU of Texas legal director Adriana Piñon said. "Immigration enforcement is exclusively the federal government's arena, and no state has ever claimed the power Texas threatens to wield here. We are taking this back to court to defend our Texas communities.”
end
This Adriana Pinon person glosses over the little niggling detail that these are people who ARE NOT HERE LEGALLY and have no right to expect to be protected from ICE or from the Great State of Texas. Their length of residency is immaterial and in fact being here a long time means they have actually broken the law longer.
As for this "immigration enforcement is exclusively the federal government's arena" is a fine theory but where in the Constitution does it say states may NOT enforce their own borders? I dare this puta to show me where it is written in the U.S. Constitution.
This should have been tossed. Actually the Fifth Circuit should have dismissed the original suit with prejudice but they didn't because, as always, the ACLU judge shopped and got a more favorable court than they would have had otherwise. As now.
Nick Shirley needs to investigate the ACLU. For decades they have been flush with cash to make mischief and I am certain there are as many skeletons in their closet as the Southern Poverty Law Center had. Leftists are always corrupt.
