Judge Orders Resumption of Catch and Release
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another roadblock by a Democrat pretending to be a judge.
This time it's a judge blocking Trump's attempt to End Catch and Release by withdrawing from a plea agreement from the last century that required illegal alien children in custody be released within 72 hours.
From the Epoch Times:
And this same judge - U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee of the Central District of California - ruled the administration had not shown grounds to terminate the Flores Settlement Agreement.
Well dolly gee! Isn't she a peach!
"There is nothing new under the sun" she snorted derisively after being presented with the government case that said it was impossible to stop illegal invasions with this rule in place. She first imposed her order August 15 and now is confirming it. Obviously the Trump Administration will appeal and it will likely go to SCOTUS because it will first wind up in the infamously leftist 9th circuit.
Bill Clinton gave us the Flores agreement and every President since has been stuck with it. Of course only Trump has tried to actually get out of it - a horrible deal for Amerians themselves.
Whether detention centers are nice places to live or not should never have entered into this discussion; the only thing that should matter is these children do not belong here and if their parents (or whoever is using them to get into the country) refuse to leave so as to keep the family together then they must be held in centers, like 'em or not. This judge is granting the rights of citizens to people who have no business here in the first place.

From the Epoch Times:
Government lawyers argued in court filings in May that the pact is an "intrusive regime” that prevents officials from detaining families through the full course of removal proceedings and encourages illegal immigrants to cross the border with children knowing they will be released quickly.
"The FSA itself has changed the immigration landscape by removing some of the disincentives for families to enter the U.S. unlawfully," they wrote. ”Unlawful family migration barely existed in 1997.”
The FSA requires that minors be transferred out of Border Patrol holding cells within about 72 hours, and placed in licensed shelters or released to family whenever possible. A 2015 court order—also by Gee—extended those rules to children arriving with parents, creating a practical 20-day cap on family detention since the government lacks licensed long-term family facilities. That limit, government attorneys and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have argued, makes it almost impossible to detain family units together for the full length of immigration proceedings, which can stretch for weeks or months

Ideally, Democrats should never be allowed to appoint, or become, judges. I know they won't see it that way, quite the opposite, but really now; until they all grow up that's the way it should be.

Agreed. It's like putting wolves in charge of the sheep flock.
