| Judge blocks Trump's attempt to let governors refuse refugees | |
| 2020-01-16 | |
The ruling is a major victory for immigrant rights groups, who had feared some communities would shut their doors thanks to President Trump’s executive order last year establishing the veto policy. Judge Peter J. Messitte, an appointee of President Clinton to the U.S. District Court in Maryland, issued an injunction stopping the policy just days before it was to kick in. | |

| #5 So make the Judge house them in his house. After all, you can't refuse refugees. I love how mean Trump is to the press, but I dream of a president who summons such judges and gives them a lively thrashing with a good hickory (Or better yet, Ironwood) cane. |

| #4 How dare those peasants disagree with their lords and masters in the central government! You would almost think there was something in the Constitution... no... or Bill of Rights. 10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. |
