Donald Trump’s return to the White House has Democrats in a frenzy. Determined to oppose the president-elect at every turn, they’ve already vowed to block his efforts to fix the very problems they created.

Instead of working toward unity, they’re preparing for resistance. Worse, this defiance risks undermining Trump’s plans to address critical issues, like the border crisis.

This isn’t just political posturing—it’s un-American. For years, Democrats in blue states have gone out of their way to prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens.

Sanctuary policies have shielded violent offenders, including those responsible for taking American lives. Now, with Trump poised to tackle these failures head-on, Democrats are promising obstruction.

But a recent federal court ruling may throw a wrench in their plans to stop Trump from securing the border.

From The Post Millennial:
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled that the US government has the authority to deport illegal immigrants following a case brought by officials in Washington state.

Ninth Circuit Ruling: A Win for Trump’s Immigration Agenda

In a major legal victory, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the U.S. government has the authority to deport illegal immigrants.

This decision stems from a 2019 case involving King County, Washington, where local officials blatantly attempted to thwart federal immigration enforcement.

Democratic King County Executive Dow Constantine issued an order banning the use of King County International Airport for ICE charter flights. This move, meant to block deportations, effectively tied federal hands.

Constantine argued that such deportations were “deeply troubling” and inconsistent with the county’s values. But the Department of Justice, under Trump’s leadership, wasn’t having it.

In 2020, the Trump administration sued, claiming the order violated federal law and the Supremacy Clause. A lower court sided with Trump, but King County, wearing its “sanctuary” badge proudly, appealed to the Ninth Circuit.

Their arguments? Lofty claims about inclusivity and human rights. The court’s response? A hard no.

The Ninth Circuit’s Smackdown

The Ninth Circuit wasn’t buying Constantine’s ideological grandstanding. The three-judge panel ruled that his order violated federal law, the Supremacy Clause, and a World War II-era Instrument of Transfer agreement that guaranteed federal use of the airport.

Judge Daniel Bress, writing for the panel, pointed out that Constantine’s order unfairly discriminated against ICE contractors while allowing others to use the airport.

The ruling also slammed Constantine’s arguments as speculative and ideological. Federal deportations may raise “troubling human rights concerns,” but local officials can’t obstruct the law just because they don’t like it.

The court even called out the financial strain Constantine’s policies caused ICE, which had to operate less efficiently due to King County’s obstruction.

This decision isn’t just a legal win; it’s a game-changer. It ensures the federal government can continue deporting individuals who are here illegally, regardless of local opposition.

Democrats hoping to undermine Trump’s immigration agenda just hit a wall.

Sanctuary Shenanigans: Enough Is Enough

For years, Democrats have championed sanctuary policies, claiming they promote safety and inclusivity. The reality is much darker.

These policies often protect dangerous individuals, turning blue states into safe havens for criminals. The King County debacle is a prime example of this backward logic.

Constantine framed his executive order as a moral stand. Yet, it put Americans at risk and cost federal agencies time and money.

It’s the same tired playbook Democrats have used to prioritize illegal immigrants over their constituents. Trump’s victory in court is a much-needed course correction.

What This Means for Trump’s Second Term

This ruling couldn’t come at a better time. As Trump prepares to take office again, securing the border will be one of his top priorities.

The Ninth Circuit’s decision sends a clear message: federal law supersedes local posturing. Sanctuary cities and counties will have a harder time blocking deportations or ICE operations.

It’s also a sign of things to come. Trump’s second term promises to tackle immigration head-on, restoring order where Democrats have sown chaos.

With the courts increasingly on his side, the president-elect is well-positioned to deliver on his promises.

Key Takeaways

• The Ninth Circuit upheld federal authority to deport illegal immigrants, rejecting King County’s sanctuary policies.
• This ruling is a big win for Trump, ensuring his immigration agenda can move forward.
• Democrats’ obstructionist tactics are being exposed and dismantled, one courtroom at a time.
