A federal judge late Monday blocked the Trump administration from denying asylum to migrants who enter the U.S. illegally.
U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar, who was nominated by former President Obama, sided with opponents of President Trump’s policy, saying the president “may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden,” Source
The Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security had earlier published a joint rule prohibiting certain people caught crossing the U.S. southern border from Mexico between ports of entry from claiming asylum.

Hers was granted even though her emailing practice apparently was known at the time. | | | | | The joke is Ivanka's excuse that she did not know use of private emails was not allowed and she was only informed late in the day.
Where was she when her father was regularly slagging off Hillary for using private emails? In a cave in the remote Himalayas?
Should someone so remote from reality really be a senior Presidential adviser?

It's not even amusing anymore. It's embarrassing.

The US Economy is now outperforming the Bitcoin.
No war started.
Snow storms in November: global warming has been stopped.
Iran has less hostages than under the Carter presidency.
And best of all: Hillary made sure that he will get a second term!

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | No. Trump compared the Kashoggi case with the Kavanaugh case. How dumb is this guy. | | | | | Now Trump repeats Saudi claim Kashoggi was an enemy of the state, very weird statement from Trump here.
Edit: By letting Saudi Arabia get away with the murder of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the President sent a message of startling clarity about how the United States will conduct its business in the world.
Trump signals US won't punish Saudi crown prince over Khashoggi killing
But more than that, by stressing the "billions" of dollars in Saudi investment in the US, Trump made clear that Washington has a price, that principles that generations of Americans have cherished, are for sale. Source

Should the Saudi have employed US help instead of doing the dirty work themselves?
