Because The New York Times isn’t interested in the topic of immigration, outside of seeing more destitute foreigners flood the country, we get highly annoying headlines like this one: “Judges in Deportation Cases Face Evasion and Delay From Trump Administration.”
That one on Tuesday accompanied an article detailing the myriad ways the Trump administration is opposing legal efforts to thwart its deportation of illegal aliens residing in the U.S. “Over and over, officials have either violated orders or used an array of obfuscations and delays to prevent federal judges from deciding whether violations took place,” read the manipulative piece of propaganda by Alan Feuer and Glenn Thrush. “So far, no one in the White House or any federal agency has had to pay a price for this obstructionist behavior, but penalties could still be in the offing.”
Wouldn’t Feuer and Thrush love to see a Trump official “pay a price” for the “obstructionist behavior.” They’re like parking enforcement cops, but with less charm.
The article said the administration has used “repeated claims of privilege,” has “slow-walk[ed] disclosing documents,” and has used “intransigent tactics,” all in an effort to rebuff federal judges attempting to stymie mass deportations. Or, as Feuer and Thrush put it, to “gum up the works.” The administration “challenged minor matters,” they wrote, “filed appeals at every turn and repeatedly asked judges for delays.”
Welcome to America, guys — the land of endless immigration court appeals and motions. But what Feuer and Thrush are finding out is that “obstructionist behavior” and “intransigent tactics” form a two-way street. It’s not just their precious illegal aliens who get to “gum up the works” with a bunch of lawyerly maneuvers.
Literally the entire legal strategy deployed by “immigration lawyers” — meaning, the corrupt SOBs representing illegal aliens — is “obstructionist behavior” and “intransigent tactics” in order to “gum up the works.” We need look no further than illegal alien fan favorite Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia to see precisely how the scheme plays out.
Recall El Salvador native Abrego Garcia as the alleged Latin gang affiliate who illegally entered the United States more than a decade ago and who was deported by the administration to his home country. Or as the Times likes to call him, “Maryland man.” We wouldn’t know Abrego Garcia’s name if not for Democrats and their co-conspirators in the dying news media protesting at a operatic scale for his return, despite proof he was in the country illegally and overwhelming evidence he was a gangbanger and a wife-beater.
In any event, Abrego Garcia is a perfect case study in scamming our immigration legal proceedings. First they break into the country and either sneak past authorities or claim asylum; then they dwell in some corner of America as their immigration case is adjudicated over the course of years by way of unlimited motions and appeals; and then when they’re finally told to go home their lawyer concocts another way to delay their removal if not outright guarantee their indefinite stay.
Garcia got here in 2011. He was deported in March of 2025, a whole 14 years after his illegal break-in to the U.S. In the course of that time, he was: arrested by Maryland law enforcement in 2019; turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement; processed as an “inadmissible” by the Department of Homeland Security; denied bail by a court; deemed by that same court to be a gang affiliate; deemed again by that same court as a traffic violation delinquent; provided hearings for an asylum claim (something he had not requested until being caught more than seven years after his unauthorized entry); denied asylum; and ultimately granted de facto U.S. residency by a judge who said while Abrego Garcia could be deported, the government couldn’t send him back to his home country.
The bulk of that was six years ago. Trump has been in office for four months. But please, New York Times, tell me about how no one in the administration has yet to “pay a price for this obstructionist behavior.”
If the illegal alien legal process is going to be nothing more than a matter of running out the clock, or testing every legal maneuver until one takes, the current administration should have at it with the full backing of every American who has ever had to pay a parking ticket.
