…what sets the ruling apart is its mix of unapologetic evisceration of #Trump & admiration for the rights he has trampled on. That it is no ordinary ruling is apparent from the first words of the 161-page decision.

Young, who is 85 & was appointed to the bench 4 decades ago, begins by quoting a postcard he received on June 19 that reads: “TRUMP HAS PARDONS AND TANKS …. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?” Young replies in the ruling:
“Dear Mr. or Ms. Anonymous,
“Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, We the People of the United States—you and me—have our magnificent Constitution. Here’s how that works out in a specific case—“

A Reagan-Appointed Judge Just Wrote a Blistering Anti #Trump Decision
Federal judge William G. Young attacked the president’s crackdown on civil liberties as un-American.
“#ICE goes masked for a single reason—to #terrorize Americans into quiescence,” the Reagan appointed judge wrote.

Young, a Reagan appointee, described the case as “perhaps the most important ever to fall within the jurisdiction of this district court.” He said he would decide an appropriate remedy for the #Trump admin’s conduct after a future hearing.

In a scathing rebuke, US District Judge William Young in Boston said that #DHS & the #State Dept sought to target non-citizens “for speaking out” with the “goal of tamping down pro-Palestinian student protests & terrorizing similarly situated” students.
Young decried the #Trump admin’s conduct in striking terms, quoting President Ronald Reagan’s declaration that freedom must “be fought for & defended constantly by each generation.”

Labour yesterday telling us they are Progressive, the very next day they do this....
Labour aren't going to win against Reform, they're too busy fighting themselves and the Voters.

It provides the telephone numbers of the #universities that employ them for students & parents to register their complaints. While the site claims the organization supports #FreeSpeech, many #professors have recounted enduring campaigns of #harassment after being put on the list. (Nikole Hannah-Jones was placed on it in 2021 because of her work on the #1619Project, after it was announced that she would be a professor at Howard University.)
