Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) is condemning a recent federal judge's ruling against a Trump White House attempt to rescind legal status for migrants who used the CBP One app on social media.
The CBP One app was launched by the Biden Administration, allowing illegal aliens who entered the country through the southern border to obtain temporary legal status. However, the Biden Administration allegedly neglected to track migrants, who would, in turn, have no incentive to depart if their legal immigration applications were rejected.
Once President Donald Trump returned to the White House, the CBP One app was rebranded as the CBP Home app, which assists illegal aliens in self-deporting, with the opportunity to return via the legal pathway in the future.
With the retooled app's launch, the Trump Administration announced that users' legal status would be rescinded.
However, U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs is ruling that this is unlawful and that legal status must be restored to these users, who number nearly 1 million.
"In no universe does it make sense that Biden was allowed to facilitate the invasion of our southern border, but his successor is being blocked from reversing it," Rep. Hamadeh shared on social media. "This outrageous double standard threatens the rule of law."
Rep. Hamadeh further condemned "activist judges who keep choosing partisan politics over legal standards and American safety are destroying the foundations of our republic."
This is not the first time federal judges have acted against the Trump Administration's agenda, as over 170 lawsuits and 50 judicial injunctions have been filed against the White House since Inauguration Day.
Attorney General Pam Bondi called this pushback from federal judges a "constitutional crisis."
Last January, Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) introduced the Injunctive Authority Clarification Act, which prohibits federal courts from issuing injunctive orders that bar enforcement of a federal law or policy against a nonparty unless a party in a class action lawsuit represents the nonparty.
