Furious Federal Judge Smacks Down Obama’s Amnesty Scheme; Threatens DOJ with Sanctions

A Federal judge in Texas has thrown Barack Obama’s illegal alien amnesty scheme into complete disarray, and is threatening the Department of Justice with “sanctions”after their attorneys were caught lying in his courtroom.

 

The judge could also cancel more than 100,000 deportation deferrals of illegal aliens — which Obama attorneys lied to the judge to conceal — and order radical changes to the way Obama’s DHS handles future immigration cases.

 

Such a move, if not reversed by a higher court, could delay any further amnesty actions until Obama leaves office — a huge blow to the Democrats’ efforts to get illegal aliens to the voting booth by 2016.

A top Obama lawyer faced a very tense one-hour hearing in Texas courtroom today, when a clearly angered federal judge confronted the DOJ attorney, sharply scolded her and threatened to sanction the Justice Department.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, who earlier blocked President Obama’s executive orders on illegal immigration, had called the hearing to determine if the Obama administration had misled him as to whether the president’s order to ease deportation for certain young illegals was already being implemented.

Fox News reports that the hearing was testy and at times contentious, causing the Justice Department attorney to apologize to the highly irritated Judge Hanen.

“Hanen chided Justice Department attorney Kathleen Hartnett for telling him at a January hearing before the injunction was issued that nothing would be happening with regard to one key part of Obama’s actions, an expansion of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, until Feb. 18.”

Judge Hanen showed his displeasure about the Obama attorney’s explanation of what she said was confusion over the amnesty order and its implementation by telling her, “Like an idiot I believed that.”

The federal judge then went on to ask the flustered attorney an extraordinary question concerning President Obama’s integrity:

“Can I trust what the president says? That’s a yes or no question,” Hanen asked.

“Yes, your honor,” Hartnett replied.

As TRN reported on March 9th, the DOJ attorney Hartnett clearly lied to Judge Hanen, and may face disbarrment in the state of Texas, and could face possible jail time under statute, although that is very unlikely.

The judge said if he decides to impose sanctions against the Justice Department for misleading the court and making him look “like an idiot,” according to coverage in The Los Angeles Times, “the taxpayers of the [26] states would end up paying their own damages.”

The case landed in Judge Andrew Hanen’s courtroom after 26 states, including Texas, sued the Obama administration over the president’s unilateral move to defer deportation and offer certain rights and privileges to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants.

The Times article notes that Hanen’s comments during the hearing “left little doubt that he sympathized with lawyers for the 26 states, who said they suffered ‘irreparable harm’ when federal officials granted more than 100,000 applications for deferred action after Obama announced the program Nov. 20.”

Judge- Sanctions Possible In Obama Immigration Court Case

 

 

BROWNSVILLE, Texas — A federal judge who has blocked President Barack Obama’s immigration executive action suggested on Thursday that he could order sanctions against the Justice Department if he rules it misled him about when exactly the administration began implementing one of the measures. During a sometimes testy court hearing, U S District Judge Andrew Hanen went back and forth with the Justice Department over whether it had mislead him into believing that a key part of Obama’s program would not be implemented before he made a ruling on a request for a preliminary injunction. In fact, federal officials had given more than 108,000 people three-year reprieves from deportation before that date and granted them work permits under a program that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U S illegally as children. Obama’s executive actions would spare from deportation as many as 5 million people who are in the U S illegally. Many Republicans oppose the actions, saying only Congress has the right to take such sweeping action. Twenty-six states led by Texas joined together to challenge them as unconstitutional. Hanen on Feb. 16 sided with the states, issuing a preliminary injunction blocking Obama’s actions. Hanen chided Justice Department attorney Kathleen Hartnett on Thursday for telling him at a January hearing before the injunction was issued that nothing would be happening with regard to one key part of Obama’s actions, an expansion of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, until Feb. 18. Like an idiot I believed that, Hanen said. A flustered Hartnett repeatedly apologized to Hanen for any confusion related to how the reprieves and work permits were granted. We strive to be as candid as possible. It truly became clear to us there was confusion on this point, she said. Hartnett continued to insist that the 108,081 reprieves had been granted under 2012 guidelines, which were not stopped by the injunction, and that government attorneys hadn’t properly explained this because they had been focused on other parts of the proposed action. But Hanen pointed out that the 2012 guidelines only granted two-year reprieves and that three-year reprieves are being proposed under the program now on hold. Can I trust what the president says? That’s a yes or no question, Hanen asked. Yes your honor, Hartnett replied. The states asked that Hanen consider issuing sanctions because Justice Department attorneys had made representations (that) proved not to be true or at a minimum less than forthcoming, said Angela Colmenero, a lawyer with the Texas Attorney General’s Office, the lead attorney for the states. Colmenero said the three-year reprieves that were granted might have caused the states economic harm as the states may have already issued various benefits, including driver’s licenses, to immigrants who received a reprieve. There is absolutely no basis for sanctions here, Hartnett said. The government is absolutely trying to do the right thing. Hanen said he would issue a ruling promptly on what action, if any, he will take against the Justice Department. The federal government has asked the 5th U S Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to lift Hanen’s injunction while the case is appealed. The other states seeking to block Obama’s orders are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

  • If Judge Hanen issues arrest warrants for the criminals we could get the evil doers off the streets where it would be harder for them to cause more harm to the American people.

  • It was the only thing that could happen or the judge will be committing treason with the negro sodomite. Speaking of treason American, why do you commit treason by obeying the sodomite negro and your treasonous Congressmen.

    Isn’t it time you stop being complicit in their crimes? Don’t you even know your own Constitution. It’s your OWN, it’s not your governments. They are elected to rule you by your CONSENT, but only to SECURE your rights to your Constitution!

    Thus, to be your enablers, not to enable themselves. Which practically happened since you had a Constitution.

  • Obama’s the Antichrist. Run and reveal that. You’ll be saved in heaven by that only.
