Mr. Speaker. as it turns out. deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants and banning Muslims from entering the country might not be the most radical antiimmigration ideas that the Republicans have come up with. There seems to be a sinister. antiimmigration arms race breaking out in the Party of Trump. Last week. a Federal judgeJudge Andrew Hanen of Texas. pictured herethe same one whose judgment on immigration executive actions is being deliberated by the Supreme Court. ordered the punishment of every single lawyer in the Justice Department in 26 States. His claim is that some DOJ lawyers misrepresented to him whether they were complying with his injunction suspending the immigration executive actions announced by President Obama in November of 2014. After his injunction. they were only supposed to issue 2year work permits under the old rules to immigrants who applied for and received. after an extensive criminal background check. the ability to be treated as the lowest priority for deportation. But the remedial ethics classes are for every single Department of Justice lawyer in 26 States. You say you werent in any way associated with the case before the judge? Too bad. Never practiced law that is remotely related to immigrants or immigration? Sorry. the judge is ordering your punishment. Never been to the State of Texas in your life?
