in World News Federal Judge Blocking Trump from Deporting Biden’s Migrants Has Past Ties to Democrats
by John Binder
United States District Judge Indira Talwani, appointed by former President Barack Obama, has past ties to Democrats and ruled against immigration enforcement in the first Trump administration. This week, Talwani blocked President Donald Trump from deporting migrants who were released into the United States interior via former President Joe Biden’s parole pipeline.
The decision by Talwani to prevent Trump from ending Biden’s parole pipeline, thus preventing the administration from deporting more than 530,000 migrants with no legal status in the United States, is among many from Democrat-appointed federal judges who have halted the White House from implementing its agenda.
Talwani was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in 2013 by then-President Obama. In her Senate questionnaire, Talwani revealed that she had volunteered for Obama’s presidential campaign.
Talwani also volunteered for Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D), and Martha Coakley’s (D) failed Senate campaign.
