Excerpt from “OC weekly” regarding Taitz cases before judge Hanen
Posted on | February 18, 2015 | 1 Comment
Hanen’s ruling is aimed at giving the states more time to put together a lawsuit that would seek permanent reversals of Obama’s orders on grounds the president overreached his constitutional authority. The judge previously denied Taitz’s request to consolidate her litigation with the states’ case, although last week he did allow her filings to be considered a friend of the court brief…

The judge who President George W. Bush nominated to the federal bench in 2002 regularly handles border cases but wasn’t known for being outspoken on immigration until he suggested in a 2013 ruling that the Homeland Security Department should be arresting parents living in the U.S. illegally who induce their children to cross the border illegally. Some who follow the exploits of so-called Queen of the Birfers Taitz claim she shopped for Judge Hanen to hear her“emergency request” last August aimed at stopping the transfer of undocumented immigrants in federal custody from South Texas to California, alleging they take jobs away from citizens and bring with them increased crime and infectious diseases.
When Hanen advised Taitz would have to show she was personally harmed by the immigrant transfers, she filed papers indicating she likely contracted a respiratory infection after treating an undocumented child as part of her dentistry practice. But with the Ebola virus in the news by the time government officials took the stand in Hanen’s courtroom,that became the main focus of Taitz’s line of questioning. Hanen’s ruling is pending.
The Department of Homeland Security says it will comply with Hanen’s orders in the states’ case, for now, as the Justice Department announced separately it will appeal the judge’s ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The White House has previously argued that setting immigration enforcement policy has been within the authority of presidents from both parties.
Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Garden Grove) called Hanen’s ruling a “political plot” to undermine Obama’s effort to increase border security.
“There is a clear precedent that the president’s policies are within his legal powers,” Sanchez says in City News Service coverage of the ruling. “Families who seek and deserve help under these new policies should not feel deterred by this fear tactic.”
