Trump Continues To Make False Claim Of US Murder Rate

“I have trouble understanding why we’re supposed to infer religious animus when in fact the vast majority of Muslims would not be affected”, he said.

“In some sense, criticizing the judges before they rule is a bit like claiming the election is rigged before it happens – it then looks a little silly if you win”, said Josh Chafetz, a professor at Cornell Law School.

“There, once we were able to explain our position, the court lifted the order and held that the president’s executive order could take effect”, he said.

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Wednesday that Judge Neil Gorsuch told him Trump’s comments were “demoralizing and disheartening”.

“That’s a great idea because Chicago is totally out of control”, the president told the Rev. Darrell Scott at a Black History Month event at the White House.

Gorsuch joined the criticism in a meeting with Sen.

Trump had signaled during his speech Wednesday that he expected to find allies among law enforcement officials against what he tweeted was the “horrible, unsafe and wrong” legal tests of his executive order barring the entry of refugees and some travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries. A federal judge in Seattle temporarily halted enforcement of the order Friday; that ruling is now being reviewed by the Ninth Circuit. In a hearing Tuesday, judges on the appeals court challenged the administration’s claim that the ban was motivated by terrorism fears, but also questioned an attorney’s argument that it unconstitutionally targeted Muslims. They’re expressing themselves in court, by submitting an amicus brief detailing how they believe the Trump travel ban is hurting their business. “These are what I think can be described as demagogic tendencies”.

Mr Purcell said that restraining order had not harmed the USA government; instead, he told the panel, Mr Trump’s order had harmed Washington state residents by splitting up families, holding up students trying to travel for their studies and preventing people from visiting family overseas. “And they’re trying to take it way from you, maybe because of politics”. “I mean, It’s so sad”, Trump said at a meeting with the National Sheriffs’ Association.

SRJC President Dr. Frank Chong wrote in a statement to the Oak Leaf, “We want to assure our students that they have the support of the college and that we will stand alongside them in an effort to preserve the rights of all students to obtain an education”.

Andrew Puzder, Trump’s choice to lead the Labor Department, admits to employing an undocumented immigrant, a revelation of the type that has derailed Cabinet nominees in previous administrations.

Trump said he initially thought there should have been a one-month or one-week notice before issuing the executive order.

Trump’s executive order also included a suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days and put an indefinite ban on refugees from war-torn Syria.

Trump’s order has been temporarily prevented after a legal challenge from Washington state, but an appeal from the Department of Justice is now being heard in San Francisco.
