BORDER/CONGRESS/COURTS/IMMIGRATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump warned Thursday [11-22-18] that someone – a group of judges or Congress – must step in to stop what he called ‘horrible decisions’ by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that blocked several of his border and immigration orders…His remarks at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, followed a ruling Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar – who is not an appeals court judge – that halted the administration’s attempts to bar immigrants who enter the country illegally from applying for asylum…Any appeal to the ruling would be filed in the 9th Circuit, which is based in San Francisco and has appellate jurisdiction over district courts in the West, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Washington state. Trump doubled-down on his complaints despite a rare rebuke Wednesday by Supreme Court Justice John Roberts who said there are no ‘Obama judges’ or ‘Trump judges’ but ‘an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.’”
