Executive orders and judicial lawlessness

meet your new dictator, Ed Chin

Less than three months ago the left had no problem when Biden used his executive authority to unilaterally extend the refugee visas he’d previosuly passed out to almost a million of his 23 million invited guests:

Biden extends time in US for 800,000 Venezuelans, Salvadorans as Trump readies immigration crackdown

MIAMI (AP) — About 600,000 Venezuelans and more than 230,000 Salvadorans already living in the United States can legally remain another 18 months, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday, barely a week before President-elect Donald Trump takes office with promises of hardline immigration policies.

Biden’s administration has strongly supported Temporary Protected Status, which he has broadly expanded to cover about 1 million people. TPS faces an uncertain future under Trump, who tried to sharply curtail its use during his first term as president. Federal regulations would allow the extensions to be terminated early, although that’s never been done before.

But now, and without citing any judicial authority to do do (because there is none), a federal judge has assumed command of this country’s immigration law. Where are the howls of outrage from Larry Tribe and his ilk?
