A judge blocked a set of Trump administration asylum rules from going into effect.
U.S. District Judge James Donato in San Francisco on Friday ruled against the administration, saying that acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf lacked the authority to implement the December measures because he has never been confirmed to his position by the Senate. The judge said it was the fifth time a court has ruled against the department for the same reason. The government has recycled exactly the same legal and factual claims made in the prior cases, as if they had not been soundly rejected in well-reasoned opinions by several courts, Donato wrote. This is a troubling litigation strategy. In effect, the government keeps crashing the same car into a gate, hoping that someday it might break through.
