A Trump-appointed judge has authorized migrants targeted by the President’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to proceed with a class-action lawsuit. Judge Rodriguez is only the latest judge to obstruct the Trump administration agenda.

From Fox News. A federal judge has allowed Venezuelans targeted for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act in the Southern District of Texas to proceed with a class-action lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., who was appointed by Trump during his first term, issued a 12-page order on Thursday granting a group of petitioners “class certification.”

“The unusual circumstances of this case present a compelling justification to utilize a procedure equivalent to a class action authorized by Rule 23,” Rodriguez wrote. …

The judge considered whether individual “habeas corpus hearings” would be required for every Venezuelan national targeted under the Alien Enemies Act in the Southern District of Texas to determine whether they are members of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang the State Department designated as a foreign terrorist organization in March. Rodriguez said “requiring individualized habeas corpus proceedings to repeatedly address the common legal issues unduly wastes judicial resources.”

Trump issued an executive order on March 14, “Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren De Aragua.” …

According to Reuters, the Trump administration deported at least 137 Venezuelans from the El Valle Detention Center in Raymondville, Texas, under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15, but relatives of dozens of the men say they are not TdA members.

In a separate 36-page opinion, Rodriguez also said Thursday the Trump administration could not rely on the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals who are TdA member anyway because the gang’s presence in the U.S. cannot be classified as an “invasion” or “predatory incursion” under federal law. …

“The Court concludes that the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and, as a result, is unlawful,” Rodriguez wrote. …

Rodriguez’s ruling Thursday is significant because it is the first formal permanent injunction against the administration using the AEA and contends the president is misusing the law. The Trump administration claims that TdA is acting at the behest of the Venezuelan government. …

Lord, I pray you would take hold of these rogue Judges and remove them. I pray you would give them the opportunity to repent. Please in Jesus name over shadow these decisions and make them null and void.your word tells us what ever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. I pray binding on these judges that go against our constitution and bind their power. Amen!

Absolutely ridiculous! This judge (and all 700 or so rogue and Left appointed” district judges have no authority to try and interject their views on The Executive Branch (President Trump). They need to “stay in their lane, sit down and shut up.” The T’dA need to be eradicated from this country never to return again. The El Salvadorian President refuses to send back illegal aliens to America.!!!!! May God Almighty continue to intervene in this situation to remove and replace these scufflaws from office.

Pray not just that whatever Trump wants happens, but that the Almighty, who sees into the hearts of people and beyond the words, effect justice according to His will.

Why are these judges giving citizen rights to illegal aliens? They came here illegally; why can’t Trump deport them?

    Call your representatives in Congress at 202 224-2121 NOW and demand this judge be removed from the federal bench and disbarred. And call your state representatives to begin conflict of interest and other ethics complaints leading to disbarment started.

God be with our leaders who are seeing a problem and trying to use wisdom to protect our nation and ultimately families. Lord, give us Your wisdom and lead the way.

Lord, we are not wise in all-knowing as you are. Teach us Your Ways.
You told us in your word to obey the law and those in authority over us, to render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. I believe, and history illustrates to us, that if you start out “illegally”, you will have to do many more illegal things to hide and falsify your true identity, thereby pulling out all the stops. The “broken window policy” defines the escalation of criminal activity in people. Therefore I support President Trump’s promise and even more deportation of all illegals. Let them seek citizenship legally, so that they take pride in righteousness, not in circumventing the system.
Teach us, oh Lord. Amen

I think I’m ready for all of the federal court system to be dismantled. They have become one of the strongest supporters of injustice in our nation, and arrogantly presume to have powers not given them by our Constitution – because the only court established by our Constitution was SCOTUS.
YHVH, please act and intervene in this situation. You are Supreme Judge – make Your just rulings and enforce them over the judges of this earth.

Father God, we ask that you would release warning angels at the gateway of the destiny you have prepared for the restoration of these United States of America. We decree the enemy of that destiny is a defeated foe. In the name of Jesus we forbid the voice of the enemy to continue to operate through the Judicial Branch of our government. You are silenced now in Jesus name.

We further call forth fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom to fall upon our judiciary. As directed in the scriptures we break off every curse, every mindset and every lofty thing separating our Judiciary from all TRUTH.

In Jesus name.

Just another judge working for satan’s agenda and he has shown himself to be another activist judge who think they have the final say in how the other 2 branches are allowed to operate. I don’t believe our constitution affords due process to illegal immigrants they should be sent back to their country without all this waste of we the people resources. Where was his wisdom to force the biden admin to enforce our federal laws. Shut tight just as I would expect from an anti american and maybe anti goddly person. For these activist judges any US citizen that suffers a loss or dies at the hands of an illegal whether in a gang or not is not as important as any illegal. What about those who entered the USA legally this is a slap in the face to them. I pray that God will intervene and bring His righteous judgement upon all who defend criminals and sacrifice US citizens. Trust in God.

Father, we agree, we declare, and we decree that where there seems to be no way, there is a way because YOU will make a way. We agree that you will make the way to bring justice all across our land regarding illegal immigrants. We thank you that you knew from the inception of this nation what its issues would be. You saw this time, aforetime. We thank you for showing those in authority how to rightly apply your rule of law as per the Constitution in order to again bring your order to this nation. We thank you for airtight cases regarding this illegal invasion of people. We thank you they will be returned to their homelands. May they come legally . We have no problem with that. In the name of Jesus. Amen

All of “this” is so difficult to comprehend….my husband is a naturalized citizen who followed every legal expectation and worked with diligence (we both did) to obtain citizenship. He was thoroughly vetted.

Adonai, lower the heavens, and come down; touch the mountains, make them pour out smoke.
Shoot out lightning, and scatter them; send out your arrows, and rout them.
Reach out your hands from on high; rescue me; save me out of deep water, out of the power of strangers(aliens, foreigners, strange sons, enemies) whose mouths speak worthless words and whose right hands swear false oaths. Psalm 144:5-8 Complete Jewish Bible

Dear Adonai, You are our Rock, training us for battle, our steadfast love and fortress, our stronghold and deliverer, our shield and in You alone we take refuge. I love the Psalms of David and join the countless faithful before me, praying Palm 144. Your Word says woe to those who call evil good and good evil, exchanging bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Ruinous trouble, calamity and affliction seem a horrible end for any woman or man but I cannot help but think woe to Fernando Rodriguez. You see every lawyer and judge. You see every needful lawsuit as well as the unreasonable ones. You see everything Lord. I submit all to You…I really do not understand…please LORD of Justice, bring justice down upon this man and all others who are authorized to judge. May the judgement in his court and each courtroom throughout our nation be aligned with Yours, just and impartial. I ask this in the Name of Christ. Amen

Another Judge that needs to find a new job. None of these so called Judge’s should have the power to stop the President from cleaning up Biden mess. They seem to care more for illegals over Americans. The people they are supposed to be working for. And if your are an illegal how do you get constitutional rights !!!!!!!!

I am sickened by the justices who are in SUPORT of criminal, illegals, everyone who has hurt, raped, maimed citizens of my country.
It is incredulous that so many are apparently compromised and have turned their back on me and all of us born into the United States of America or legally became citizens.
They are traitors!!!!! They are now part of the evil plots to overturn our world. They must be dealt with! Just because they are judges does NOT mean they can erase 250+ years of our country. Let them go live in the prison in El Salvador with their new friends.

LORD, forgive us that we as a nation are continuing to turn our backs on You. That we, as a whole, have not awakened to the true signs of the times. Your time. We have been and are being deceived that what is bad is good and what is good is bad. Your word clearly foretells of this day and more to come. May surveys and ears be opened to see and know Your truth. That we no longer be deceived, and take the actions needed to stop this deception.

This is so sad. Illegals have the same or more rights as American citizens.

It is hard to believe that Federal judges are following the rule of law now when they allowed the invasion of these dangerous threats to American citizens in the first place. If the Supreme Court does not act to correct this serious problem, then Congress or the military must.

    Amen Ron, the USA was invaded! Let’s prayer there is a way to remove and deported these criminal judges. “Here ye judges – the stone which you roll down upon true citizens of America will come rolling back upon you via the illegal aliens when they harm your families.”

    Ron, I just remembered Oswald Chambers’ (October 17th) Utmost message, which I have referred to so many Times over the years. Pray, pray, pray.
    “Prayer doesn’t prepare us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work… Prayer doesn’t prepare us for battle; prayer is the battle. It doesn’t matter where we are nor how God has engineered our circumstances; our duty is to pray…We have to work according to God’s direction; and he says, simply, pray. https://utmost.org/modern-classic/greater-works/

    Peace to you sir and as you seek justice, may God bless you richly.
