The Trump administration, showing some incredible strategic brilliance, transferred Khalil to an ICE facility in Louisiana before Judge Furman could effectively intervene.

[PJMedia.com] We all know what the radical left's favorite tactic is for undermining President Trump's agenda: activist judges legislating from the bench.

The fact that a left-wing judge is bending over backward to protect someone who led antisemitic demonstrations tells you everything you need to know about their priorities...
