As another tumultuous week ends, it ends relatively well. I am heartened by the actions of the ACLU and US. District Judge Emmet Sullivan. In the middle of the immigration case, the government deported Carmen and her daughter to El Salvador. Judge Sullivan ordered their return to the United States of Carmen until her case could be heard and ruled upon in the Federal Court. The ACLU brought the suit on her behalf. The judge threatened Attorney General Jeff Sessions with contempt if the Government did not comply with the order.
We are a nation of laws. Thankfully our institutions withstood the capricious and brutal acts of the Administration.
Dina d’Malchuta Dina, the Law of the land is the Law.
