As reported in today’s Immigration Politics Ticker, last night President Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates, after she ordered DOJ not to defend Trump’s Executive Order (EO) barring foreign nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries and refugees against legal challenges. Trump replaced Yates with Dana Boente, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who will serve as acting Attorney General until the Attorney General nominee is confirmed. Also last night, President Trump appointed Thomas D. Homan as acting ICE Director, to replace acting ICE Director Daniel Ragsdale.

Trump issued another Executive Order to build a Wall on the Mexican Border.
His ‘promise’ to make Mexico pay for the Wall fell through.
He then threatened to issue an import tariff against Mexico in the amount of 20%.
Both Democrats and Republicans informed Trump how bad of an idea this would be.
After, Trump team stated ‘he was just floating the idea’.

Trump has issued another executive order basically barring people from several Muslim countries from entering the U.S.
It is unheard of and many lawsuits have already been filed and injunctions already issued.
Meetings scheduled today with Trump cancelled due to anticipated protests.
Protests occurring all over the U.S. and the World against this ‘Muslim Ban’. The Executive Order even included Lawful Permanent Residents.
DHS stated it is in the ‘national interest’ to allow Green Card holders to ‘re-enter’ the U.S.
Trump FIRES acting attorney-general of the U.S. and vilifies a career prosecutor.
Trump essentially opens up the door and paints a target on the U.S. by extremists.
His executive actions have and will have the opposite effect than what he supposedly intended.
Trump decides not to include other Muslim countries which he seems to have ‘businesses’ conducting business.

This particular order meant to supposedly increase ‘internal security’ is full of vague, ambiguous and unconstitutional elements.
It states that even people who have only been ‘charged’, but not ‘convicted’ should be removed.
It goes EVEN FURTHER and states that people who have supposedly done the elements of a crime, but have NOT been charged or convicted should be removed.
It also states that the Local police should in essence become U.S. Immigration officers and do their jobs for them and basically round up illegal persons to get them deported.
It mixes Federal and State Law to a point, it is unclear how to execute any of the items.
Lawsuits are the way to resolve these overreaching executive orders that are unconstitutional.

The Seventh Circuit concluded that substantial evidence did not support a finding that the petitioner deliberately fabricated material elements of his asylum application, because the IJ “seemed to base his frivolousness finding on a lack of credible evidence rather than any evidence that [the petitioner] had made deliberate falsehoods.”
