A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of terrorizing immigrants and recklessly violating the law in its efforts to deport millions of people living in the country illegally.

Citing the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, the judge said that the White House had also “extended its violence on its own citizens.”

“The threats posed by the executive branch cannot be viewed in isolation,” U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside, California said in a scathing decision issued late Wednesday.

    I no longer care about judicial rulings against the federal government. They’ve become empty gestures. I’ll pay attention when the federal government actually obeys a judge.

      Even if they may seem feckless, it’s still better to have as many judges officially rule against them because it literally legitimizes what we’ve been saying.
