Another activist judge has stepped in to block President Trump from enforcing our immigration laws. A Biden-appointed federal judge stopped the deportation of Guatemalan children who were already on planes ready to leave the country. This is exactly the kind of judicial interference that Americans are tired of seeing.
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan issued her order at the last minute on Sunday, forcing immigration officials to take the children off planes that were about to take off from Texas. The timing was clearly designed to create maximum chaos and embarrassment for the Trump administration. These kids were being sent back to Guatemala as part of a proper agreement between our two countries.
The National Immigration Law Center rushed to court to stop these deportations, claiming the children would face danger back home. But here’s the real question: why are hundreds of unaccompanied children crossing our border illegally in the first place? This is exactly the kind of crisis that happens when we don’t secure our borders properly.
More than 600 Guatemalan children were identified for deportation under this pilot program. That’s 600 kids who entered our country without permission and without proper documentation. American taxpayers are now forced to house, feed, and care for these children because activist lawyers want to keep them here.
The judge’s order blocks all deportations for 14 days, giving lawyers more time to find ways to keep these kids in America permanently. This is how the system gets gamed by people who want open borders. They use the courts to stop every single effort to enforce our immigration laws.
President Trump made a deal with Guatemala to take back their own citizens, including these unaccompanied minors. But one liberal judge can apparently overturn international agreements and stop the president from doing his job. This is not how our system is supposed to work.
The children are now back in government custody, costing American taxpayers even more money. Meanwhile, the lawyers who filed this lawsuit are probably celebrating another victory against common-sense immigration enforcement. They care more about blocking Trump than protecting American communities.
This case shows exactly why we need judges who will follow the law instead of their political feelings. Americans voted for secure borders and proper immigration enforcement. One activist judge should not be able to stop the will of the American people.
