This is not a meme. This is a quote from Trump’s border czar on why he was ignoring Judge James Boasberg’s orders.

The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union. Speaking after Monday’s hearing, ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt called the situation a “constitutional crisis.”

Lee Gelernt: “At this point, it seems like the administration is simply walking into court and telling a federal court they can’t look at the evidence, they can’t stop what they’re doing, and we see constant public statements from administration officials criticizing federal judges, saying they don’t have authority. I think we’re on dangerous ground here in the United States.”

    This is the second asshole he’s been allowed to serve under.

    Obama administration (2014–2016)

    He was appointed by President Barack Obama as Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.

    By 2014 under the Obama administration, Homan had begun to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective means of discouraging illegal border crossings. The journalist Caitlin Dickerson describes him as the “intellectual father” of the policy, which he outlined years before it was adopted by the Trump administration. “Most parents don’t want to be separated,” Homan told Dickerson. He argued that this fact made separation an effective tool for immigration enforcement: “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t think that would have an effect.”

    In 2015, President Obama gave him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive. A Washington Post article at the time stated, “Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.”

      The illusion of 2 parties is quickly broken when you look through history.

          Judging by how little resistance the democratic party is giving to the extreme measures taken by the GOP I stand by my statement. Would the democrats have implemented these things if they won? Their campaign claimed they were different but they sure aren’t doing anything to stop it! (Oh except for holding up signs in congress condemning the actions and then voting along with the GOP anyway)
