The Trump/Miller policy has been rolled AGAINST the Immigration and Nationality Act ….
A single Federal judge and now an Appeals Court ARE tell the Trump admin to begin processing asylum claims as the Congressional Act requires….
That a President CANNOT just ignore THE LAW…..
Any bets on a appeal to the Supreme’s
One of President Trump’s key assertions of presidential power over the southern border was ruled unlawful by a federal appeals court on Friday.
In a 2-to-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld an earlier ruling by a district court judge that Mr. Trump had to adhere to requirements outlined in the Immigration and Nationality Act and could not categorically deny asylum claims from people crossing from Mexico into the United States.
Existing immigration law “does not allow the president to remove plaintiffs under summary removal procedures of his own making,” Judge J. Michelle Childs wrote for the majority. She rejected the administration’s view of the law, which would allow it to “unilaterally and heedlessly return individuals even to countries where they will most certainly face persecution.”
While the ruling does not take effect immediately, it brings the administration one step closer to a requirement that it process new applications from asylum seekers. The administration now has 45 days to ask for the case to be reheard by the full appellate court. It could also appeal directly to the Supreme Court, which is already considering a separate case over whether asylum seekers can be turned back at the border before they have a chance to file an asylum claim.
Mr. Trump’s attempt to enact a sweeping ban on asylum is rooted in a proclamation he signed the day he took office for his second term. He declared that there was an “invasion” along the southern border and invoked what he called “the inherent right and duty of the executive branch to defend our national sovereignty.”
The proclamation was followed by guidance from the Department of Homeland Security that blocked people from applying for asylum other than at a designated port of entry. Those who did show up at a port of entry faced new, stringent document requirements, including medical and criminal histories. Asylum seekers, according to the proclamation, raised “health, safety, and security concerns” of sufficient gravity to require a presidential intervention.
Much of the earlier ruling blocking the president’s order, by Judge Randolph D. Moss of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, had been temporarily set aside by an appeals panel in August. That meant that Mr. Trump’s proclamation had still largely been in force….

The administration “will seek further review of this badly flawed decision,” the White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement. “We will never cease in our efforts to safeguard the American people.”…

Trump Reposts Tirade Against Chinese and Indian Immigrants
Trump and his assistant Stephen Miller ARE on the record against immigration except for rich ones….
President Trump provoked a broad backlash this week when he posted a transcript from a right-wing podcast in which the host referred to China and India as “hellhole” places and said recent immigrants from those countries had not “integrated” into America as “European Americans” had.
The transcript, which Mr. Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Wednesday night, came from a recent episode of “The Savage Nation,” hosted by Michael Savage, a popular conservative talk radio host. Mr. Trump also posted the original video clip of Mr. Savage’s podcast.
The president did not add any commentary to his posts, but across Asia and the United States, many people saw an unwelcome message that demanded a response.
In a rare public rebuke of the White House, the Indian government took to X to criticize the comments, calling them “obviously uninformed, inappropriate and in poor taste” without explicitly naming Mr. Trump.
Asian American advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers faulted Mr. Trump for amplifying xenophobic rhetoric at a time when the administration’s efforts to restrict even legal immigration have left many Indian Americans and Chinese Americans worried about their place in American society….

Trump’s ‘gold card’ visa starting at $1 million granted to just 1 person so far, White House says
President Donald Trump’s “gold card” visa, where a foreigner can shell out at least $1 million to legally live and work in the U.S., has been approved for one person, said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Thursday — appearing to fall a bit short of an earlier claim.
After it launched in December, Lutnick said that the government had sold $1.3 billion “worth” in just several days, as Trump stood by holding up the gilded ticket and said, “essentially it’s the green card on steroids.”

The website also touts the upcoming $5 million Diss’s Chinese and Indian Migrants…which offers up to 270 days in America without being taxed on non-U. S. income.
While Trump has created a presidential identity partially around deporting immigrants without legal status, he has repeatedly supported skilled immigration to the U.S., which the gold card program could facilitate….
