Obama-Appointed Activist Judge Temporarily Halts Trump’s New Asylum Ban
Another day, another corrupt Obama judge legislating from the bench.
A US District judge in San Francisco on Wednesday issued a preliminary injunction to halt the Trump Administration’s new asylum policy.
Judge Jon Tigar, an Obama appointee, temporarily halted Trump’s policy banning asylum seekers who pass through another country while they are en route to the United States.
Earlier Wednesday, a DC judge declined to stop the new asylum policy from being implemented, so Obama’s activist judge stepped in as if he was elected by the American people to make decisions on immigration.
Trump boasted about the asylum win earlier Wednesday before the activist judge came in and nullified the earlier asylum victory for Trump.
Left-wing Politico reported:
In a 45-page order, Tigar found the rule ignored a pair of federal statutes that outline guidelines for barring asylum seekers who transit through a designated “safe third country” or have permanently resettled in another country.
The new regulation, he wrote, “is likely invalid because it is inconsistent with the existing asylum laws.”
Additionally, he found that the decision to enact the measure was “arbitrary and capricious.” While it purports to offer protections for migrants, the ban could potentially expose them to grave dangers as they’re forced to seek protection in Mexico or other nations before applying for asylum in the U.S., he said.
The anti-American ACLU praised judge Tigar’s decision to temporarily halt the asylum policy.
“The court recognized, as it did with the first asylum ban, that the Trump administration was attempting an unlawful end run around asylum protections enacted by Congress,” ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said in a written statement.
This isn’t the first time that Judge Tigar has stepped in and abused his power from the bench.
In November Tigar blocked Trump’s asylum policy if the migrants entered the US through a port of entry.
“More federal judges pretending they were elected to run asylum policy,” attorney Robert Barnes said in response to the preliminary injunction issued by Tigar.

Federal Judge Says Mueller Presented 'No Evidence' Russian Govt Behind IRA Troll Farm
wonder why our media is ignoring this story?
From The Washington Times, "Federal judge sides with Russian company, rebukes Mueller, Barr":
A federal judge has chastised former special counsel Robert Mueller and Attorney General William P. Barr for stating that the Russian government was behind election year social media trolling when there is no evidence presented by prosecutors.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich culminated a secret legal battle between the Justice Department and the Russian firm Concord Management and Consulting LLC.
The judge this month began unsealing legal briefs and transcripts, which reveal that the release of Mr. Mueller’s 448-page report and Mr. Barr’s public statements triggered Concord attorney Eric A. Dubelier to seek contempt proceedings against both.
Mr. Dubelier said Mr. Mueller prejudiced a potential jury by stating that the Kremlin ran the social media campaign, which the federal government says Concord funded. That connection isn’t contained in the special counsel’s February 2018 indictment against Concord.
"That's not alleged in the indictment primarily because there is no evidence to support that it was. There is none," Mr. Dubelier told the judge at a closed May 28 hearing for which a transcript was just unsealed.
Searching Google News, this appears to have only been reported on by The Washington Times, The Hill, RealClearInvestigations and RT.
Aaron Mate caught it shortly after the ruling came out:

This man hadn't even heard of Fusion GPS and struggled to find who was talking to him in the room – but we're just supposed to trust that he's determined with absolute certainty that Russians hacked Hillary Clinton and John Podesta's emails and sent them to Wikileaks and the IRA troll farm was a Kremlin-run operation?
Helicopter Crashes in Mexican State of Michoacan, Leaving 4 People Killed
A police officer, an official and two pilots died on Wednesday as a result of a helicopter crash in the southern Mexican state of Michoacan, state’s Governor Silvano Aureoles Conejo said.
“I regret to say that state’s police officer Jose Martin Godoy Castro, head of the social insurance system German Ortega as well as two pilots were on board of the crashed helicopter. No one survived,” the governor wrote on his Twitter page.
He added that the bad weather was likely to be the cause of the incident but pointed out the need to wait for the results of the official investigation.
"Everything indicates that weather conditions took the aircraft down," the governor wrote.
