President Donald Trump continues fighting multiple legal battles, mostly against activist federal judges who are working overtime to stop the president from exercising his executive authority.
According to Breitbart, that was evidenced once again this week as an Obama-appointed federal judge "blocked the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan migrants with temporary protected status (TPS) after it was revoked."
The ruling is the latest in efforts to wage "lawfare" against Trump and his administration on the deportation front, and on his broader immigration policies.
It came in the wake of the Trump administration's removal of TPS from nearly 500,000 immigrants, which was granted under former President Joe Biden.
Trump's order to remove the temporary status from the half-million immigrants also came with a warning from the Department of Homeland Security. DHS warned that those affected had 30 days to "self-deport" or face the prospect of federal authorities hunting them down and doing it for them.
"DHS has determined that a 30-day wind-down period provides affected parties sufficient notice while also preserving DHS’s ability to enforce the law promptly against those CHNV parolees lacking a lawful basis to remain in the United States," the DHS notice read.
It added, "Accordingly, DHS is opting not to increase the wind-down period to more than 30 days."
It didn't take long for a Democrat-appointed federal judge to step in and temporarily quash the order.
Breitbart reported:
Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of the District of Massachusetts ruled Thursday that she would issue a stay on the order, which was set to cancel the TPS for approximately 532,000 migrants on April 24, the Associated Press reported.
"The nub of the problem here is that the secretary, in cutting short the parole period afforded to these individuals, has to have a reasoned decision," the judge said in her ruling.
She added, "There was a deal and now that deal has been undercut."
Users across social media, on both sides, had plenty to say about the judge's ruling.
"O'bummer appointed activist judge," one X user pointed out.
Another X user wrote, "Ah yes Indira Talwani another foreigner judge acting like the president."
