The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!

Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!

The key word there is "out".

“Sessions is about to run one of the largest court systems in the United States, with no congressional oversight.”

The immigration courts do not determine who is allowed into the country, only who is kicked out. The Executive Office of Immigration Review includes a network of 58 immigration courts, where judges hear the cases of immigrants the government is trying to deport and make a determination about whether they should be allowed to stay.

Over his two decades in the senate, Sessions has consistently distinguished himself as an immigration hard-liner beyond any other in Congress.

There are several ways the Department of Justice can decide the fate of millions of immigrants. Chief among them is the system of immigration courts. These tribunals function in many ways like normal courts, with judges hearing arguments from two sides of opposing counsel. But they are not a part of the judicial system — they are part of the Executive Office of Immigration Review, which lies within the Department of Justice.

The attorney general has near-total control over the functioning of the immigration courts, and can repurpose them toward the goal of deporting more people more easily and quickly. "There’s a lot of unscrutinized power that the attorney general has in making these decisions.”
