The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that the Administration does NOT have to offer illegal aliens who are inside the country a day in court before arresting and deporting them.
This is a huge win for America. Naturally the Left is crying into their Twisted Tea alcoholic beverage.
Of course the Left knows they have nary a leg to stand on in this; it's designed to gum up the works, a monkey wrench thrown into the machinery to slow Trump down. I'm sure they knew they were going to lose, but it kept Trump from deporting a bunch of illegals until the case was settled (and no doubt it will be appealed to SCOTUS).
This is what the 13th Amendment means with "subjuct to the jurisdiction thereof" - these people are NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and so have no claim to amnesty.
In other news ICE is planning to build a giant detention facility in beautiful San Antonio, one of the most ICE-hating places in America.
I sure don't get tired of winning. Shadenfreud is a wonderful thing sometimes.

I think the Left continues to try its ridiculous dodges in court, if nothing else than to try to buy time and to attempt to gum up the works, in courts that in knows to be sympathetic to its wishes. This is nothing new, of course. If only the Executive Branch had a way of saying "Stay in your own lane" and not having to deal with all this crap.
