MAGA adherents have taken to social media to proclaim that the federal judge who ruled against the Trump administration's attempts to stifle asylum-seekers should simply be ignored.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled in favor of 13 individuals seeking asylum, as well as three immigrant rights groups that challenged Trump's executive order suspending U.S. asylum law.
"In his decision, Moss ruled that neither the Immigration and Nationality Act nor the Constitution give the president and administration officials 'the sweeping authority' asserted in his proclamation," CBS News reported.
Top White House aide and architect of Trump's deportation program Stephen Miller posted, "To try to circumvent the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions a marxist judge has declared that all potential FUTURE illegal aliens on foreign soil (eg a large portion of planet earth) are part of a protected global 'class' entitled to admission into the United States."
Far from simply expressing their opposition to the ruling, MAGA took to social media to demand that the judge's opinion be discounted altogether.
Eric Daugherty with Florida's Voice News posted, "Federal judge says President Trump needs to RE-OPEN the border for 'asylum seekers' - POLITICO WTF? A JUDGE is trying to REINSTATE INVASION! Do not listen to this ruling AT ALL!"
Two MAGA commentators, @GuntherEagleman and @MrPitbull07 wrote, simply, "Ignore the judge."
Others commented on the recent Supreme Court decision blocking universal injunctions, with The Conservative Alternative writing, "The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that these universal injunctions don't hold legal authority. Trump needs to ignore every order that doesn't come from the Supreme Court itself."
Radio host Cash Loren posted, "Ignore that commie Judge. SCOTUS has already ruled they don't have the authority."
SeekingTruth took a more drastic approach, writing, "Send in the FBI or, better yet, the military police and charge the insurrectionist judge with treason and insurrection. Lock him up in a military prison while awaiting trial."
