Moar judges mucking up the legal system

Ecuadorian who was supposed to leave in 2010 didn't. He got arrested, and now a Judge has blocked his deportation. WHY?

Quote
Villavicencio's wife, Sandra Chica, is an American citizen and their daughters, ages 2 and 3, were born in the U.S.

I wonder when he got married. He was supposed to have left in 2010, so his children were born 5 and 6 years after he shouldn't have been here. So I don't see that as a mitigating factor. And I'll bet he married after he was supposed to have gone, as well.

Quote
Haskins [Legal Aid attorney] said attorneys worked through the night preparing the emergency stay request that was argued in court on Saturday afternoon.

"Although we are disappointed that Pablo will remained detained, today's stay is a victory for him and his family, and also for due process and the fair administration of justice," said Gregory Copeland, the supervising attorney of Legal Aid's Immigration Law Unit. "This decision is also a reminder that the judiciary can still serve as a powerful check when other branches of government make hasty, cruel and reckless decisions."
How is helping someone who has violated the law in any way a victory for justice? What's "hasty, cruel and reckless" about enforcing an eight-year-old order?

This is what Trump (and we) are facing as we try to get some control over illegal aliens in the U.S.

Agreed.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Relax.  This is just a stay pending completion of the current litigation.  They toss the guy now, makes it harder for the court to resolve  the current case.  While the guy's lawyers may be doing cartwheels over this, it's meaningless in the long run.

Too, this is being left out of many of the latest editions of the news. I am sure it has no bearing on the hasty ruling though.

Again, hold off before leaping to any conclusions about this being some anti-Trump, anti-conservative, pro-illegal immigration conspiracy.  It is routine for a judge in a case to issue temporary stays.  A judge wants a defendant to stay in the jurisdiction. 

One other thing.  This morning, HLN reported that the subject was never legally deported, but entered some type of voluntary agreement to go back to Ecuador something like 8-10 years ago.  Now, I know nothing about immigration law, but I don't know if this was done as a settlement to a deportation hearing, or what.  Makes me wonder what put this guy on someone's radar to get a warrant issued, which is apparently how he got picked up trying to deliver pizzas at the Army base.
