👎🏽IS GARLAND PULLING A SESSIONS-STYLE SHENANIGAN TO COMPROMISE JUSTICE @ EOIR? — Immigration Judge Removed From High-Profile Case After Criticizing DHS!

 

Sessions in a cage
“Comeback Kid?” — Advocates thought they were getting a welcome change from “Gonzo Apocalypto’s” vile legacy of abuses at EOIR. But, Garland seems to be warming to the idea of “wholly-owned courts” where he can manipulate “his” judges, many of them Sessions-Barr holdovers,” to achieve pro-DHS results in key cases.

KCRA3 in Sacramento reports:

The judge overseeing the last two weeks of hearings and testimonies of Omar Ameen’s immigration case has been changed by the Department of Justice, sources close to the case told KCRA 3.

Ameen was the Sacramento refugee accused of being an ISIS leader and killing an Iraqi police officer in 2014.

Earlier this year, a Sacramento federal judge said there were major problems with the case against Ameen and refuse extradition to Iraq.

However, the U.S. Immigration Department took Ameen into custody the day he was released and began proceedings to deport him, claiming he lied on refugee applications.

Sources told KCRA 3 Investigates that immigration Judge Scott Laurent, after weeks of hearings and testimony in the deportation case, is no longer the judge in the case.

The removal comes just two weeks after Laurent issued an order that was, in part, critical of the government’s case against Ameen.

In particular, Laurent was critical of the Department of Justice for wanting FBI agents to testify for the government, but not be cross-examined by Ameen’s attorneys.

Unlike a criminal court, immigration judges work for the Department of Justice, which is the agency looking to deport Ameen.

No reason was immediately provided for Laurent’s removal from the case.

In what other system can the prosecutor “switch judges,” with no explanation in the middle of a case?

Given the DOJ’s lack of transparency, one has to assume the worst!

🇺🇸Due Process Forever!
