A federal judge in Ohio ruled against the Trump administration Monday, citing bigoted comments President Trump and Vice President JD Vance made about immigrants.

U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ordered the White House to unfreeze immigrants’ benefit applications, citing Trump and Vance’s “outright hostility towards immigrants, both before and after the 2024 presidential elections.” These applications include filings for work authorization and green cards from people in the U.S. from countries including Burma, Canada, Iran, Nigeria, Syria, Tanzania, and Venezuela.

“Their ire appears focused on immigrants from countries in the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia,” Marbley, nominated to the federal bench by President Clinton in 1997, wrote.

    5-4 decision

    I wouldn’t give it more than 6-3. Isn’t there 6 bigots on the big bench, or is one a wildcat?

      Alito and Thomas are always terrible. Roberts sometimes does the right thing when he is worried about what history books will say about his court. The three Trump justices each have their moments of good and bad. Every decision is a roll of the dice.
