The Brethren Hammering Immigration Ban Case Study
Headline: Checkpoint: Impact of The Brethren’s Hammering Immigration Ban

The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals pounded the brethren’s gavel last Thursday against the Republican administration’s assimilation ban of immigrants and refugees from seven predominantly Muslim nations on the administration’s list of terror-sponsoring states.

The three judges of the San-Francisco-based Ninth Circuit, among the most liberal in the nation, struck down the administration’s appeal to immediately restore the presidential executive order imposing the controversial travel ban. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-live-updates-9th-circuit-arguments-trump-travel-ban-2017-htmlstory.html

The appeal arose from US District Judge James Robart in Seattle granting

However, more than a dozen nationals from these countries have shown up repeatedly in terror attacks from coast-to-coast including San Bernadino, Boston, Orlando, and New York. Osama bin Laden was a Saudi citizen, and his top deputies, including the current leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, were Egyptian.
Case Brief: Writ of Certiorari to the US Supreme Court and Other Statutory Options

Following the issuance of the Ninth Circuit’s denial of the government’s appeal, US President Donald Trump thundered on Twitter about swift justice in the courts which was interpreted by legal pundits as seeking an appeal to the US Supreme Court to grant the writ of certiorari for expedited review of the order of the Ninth Circuit similar to the truncated appellate process in the Panama Papers case.

The curve ball of an appeal to the US Supreme Court for the administration involves the possibility of a split decision (4-4) among the justices which results in affirmance of the lower court. However, bypassing the intricacies of the appellate process, the White House this weekend also indicated exploring other available options, including issuing a new executive order with slight modifications to overcome anticipated legal

    Further below, I will address other options that are not as likely including the case being remanded back to the district level for “evidence” which could leave the stay in place while it works its way back to a nine seat SCOTUS. Another, albeit unlikely event, is that the court rules 4-4 “per curiam” which would allow the law to stand, but not set precedent. Per curiam is a term used when there is a tie in the SCOTUS due to a justice’s absence or recusal from a case. The least likely scenario is one of the liberals switching sides along with the moderate Justice Kennedy joining with the conservatives to uphold the law. Another variable will depend on the current nomination for SCOTUS being confirmed amid the election season in which we could see a shifting of the parties in the White House and a more conservative member nominated.…

    In 2011, Alabama legislator had enact an anti-immigration law (HB56) and with this law there was several implications. There is a lot consequences of this new law because in a certain way, it is a racist because this law allows police officers to ask for papers to any person if there is any suspicion that he or she is illegal in the country. Businesses and schools have to make sure their employees and students are legal. It is known that most illegal immigrants in the United States of America are from Central America and Mexico, so the suspicion of the officers will be based on skin color, stature and typical physical people. Certainly, one factor is the economic crisis and the fact that many Americans unfairly blame illegal immigrants for the bad situation of the country. Some politicians have realized that they can gain power by exploiting the widespread suspicion that immigrants take jobs from citizens and empty government coffers. Attacking illegal immigrants, who have no one representing their interests, can give them the boost that they need to win the elections. Furthermore, there is enough Latinos in the United States willing to vote for candidates who really understand the Hispanic community and to be able to defend it against unfair attacks. But it’s not everybody that think that unlawful aliens must get out of…

    The legality of Bush’s M.O. immediately became the subject of debate upon its publication. For example, the president argues that he is fully authorized to enforce the use of military tribunals based on the historical precedents set in place by former presidents. He also argues that he is permitted to establish tribunals based on his declaration of “a national emergency on September 14, 2001.” The M.O. order states that “this emergency constitutes an urgent and compelling government interest, and that issuance of this order is necessary to meet the emergency.” By declaring a state of national emergency, Bush suggests that tribunals are now a matter of “military necessity.” Those subject to the order are defined in subsection 2(a)(1) as someone who “is or was a member of the organization known as al Qaeda,” as well as someone who meets the following criteria:…

    Just recently, Trump signed a new executive order banning immigrants from six Muslim majority countries. In the new order, Iraq is not included because they agreed to share more information with the United States. In the new order, there is explicit language that allows green card holders re-entry into the United States. The new order does not indefinitely ban Syrian refugees “and called for prioritizing the admission of refugees who are religion minorities in their home countries” (CNN), prioritizing Christian over Muslim refugees. In an attempt to gain support for the new travel ban, it states that the FBI has reported “that approximately 300 … refugees are currently the subjects of counter-terrorism investigations” (CNN). The order lasts for 90 days, starting March 16. As of now, multiple states have joined together to challenge the order in court and one judge has already struck the ban down regarding a Syrian family trying to find refuge in Wisconsin. The order has not yet taken effect but already seems to be on a path towards…
