Former top GOP officials file brief calling Trump asylum ban illegal
Former top GOP officials file brief calling Trump asylum ban illegal
By Justin Wise - 12/17/18 05:09 PM EST
A group of lawyers who served in past GOP administrations, as well as many high-ranking former Republican officials, said in a Supreme Court filing that President Trump's attempted asylum ban is illegal.
The lawyers and officials argue that the "government is simply wrong" in its position that the Trump administration can enforce the policy under federal asylum law.
BuzzFeed News first reported on the friend-of-the-court brief on Monday night, noting that it was filed by several officials who held high positions in places such as the FBI and Department of Justice.
The former director of the FBI and CIA, William Webster, and two former acting attorneys general, Peter Keisler and Stuart Gerson, were among those that filed the brief. The brief was filed by nine others, including former DOJ official and Supreme Court advocate Carter Phillips.
BuzzFeed noted that its signatories included Ray LaHood, a former Republican member of Congress and Todd Whitman, an EPA chief in the Bush administration.
"The relevant provision of federal asylum law begins with the command that '[a]ny alien' who crosses the southern border illegally outside 'a designated port of arrival ... may apply for asylum,'" the Republican brief, which was written by Richard Bernstein, said. "The Attorney General’s regulation is inconsistent with the plain text and meaning of [that law]. That should be the end of the matter."
The Trump administration has attempted to institute a policy that would prohibit migrants from claiming asylum if they enter the southern border outside of ports of entry. A federal judge put the policy on hold before Thanksgiving.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals then denied the Trump administration's effort to delay a judge's order blocking enforcement of the asylum policy earlier this month.
The developments led the Department of Justice to ask the Supreme Court to place the injunction on hold on Dec. 11 while a challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) proceeds, according to BuzzFeed News.

And the SWAMP rises up!!
What about the LAW that says the President can stop any group of aliens from entering the country if they pose a risk or threat to our country? I think that LAW came first, and the second law granting asylum to law breakers is illegal and any and all asylum grants to law breakers should be rescinded.
Just my GOP opinion. First in time, first in line.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan

LOL!! Exactly. Funny, made me laugh out loud, Newmexican. They're also why we have insecure borders, stupid loopholes in immigration law, 800,000 backlog on deportations, 30 million or more illegal aliens roaming our land sucking on taxpayer money, tens of thousands of Americans robbed of their lives killed and murdered by illegal aliens, and why they hate Trump so much because he is committed to finding a way to stop this scourge of illegal immigration, one way or another.
