Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) joined Lou Dobbs on his Fox Business program and weighed in on the recent ruling against President Trump’s revised travel executive orders. He referenced his experience as a former judge and chief justice and the practice of relying on the facts before the evidence.
Congressman Gohmert stated, “As I understand it, [the ruling] was over 40 pages and delivered in two hours –so he [the judge] must have had his mind made up long before they even had oral arguments on the thing.”
He additionally mentioned a bill he plans to introduce that would “take away the jurisdiction of any district or circuit court to handle anything regarding immigration or refugees.” He passionately stated, “that needs to stop.”

President Trump addressed a law enforcement conference in Washington D.C. where he expressed his shock and dismay at leftist judges blocking the border security policies set forth in his recent executive order.
Trump read language from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 which clearly grants the President express powers to control the entry of non-citizens into the United States on virtually any basis, but specifically as a duty to protect the citizens from potentially dangerous groups of foreigners.
“Now we’re in an area that… they are interpreting things differently than probably 100% of the people in this room,” began Trump, referring to the judges involved in blocking his orders. “This was done for the security of our nation, the security of our citizens, so that people who come in who aren’t going to do us harm – and that’s why it was done.”

President Trump went to on make clear why the executive order went into place so suddenly, saying that he had proposed a notice period of either one month or one week – which his advisors shot down.
He distilled their explanation: “‘You can’t give a notice. If you give a notice that we’re going to be really tough one month from now, or in one week from now – then people are going to pour in before the… restrictions,’” to which the crowd of law enforcement and security specialists applauded.
He circled back to the previous night’s hearings: “I want to tell you – I listened to a bunch of stuff last night on television that was disgraceful.”

A recent poll conducted by Investor’s Business Daily shows that a majority of Americans (51%) support Trump’s executive order.
Additionally, a poll of nearly 10,000 Europeans from around the continent revealed that over 55% want immigration from Muslim-dominated countries halted completely.
