Article from The Hill by Zach Budryk.
The federal government has violated the rights of more than 1 million people by placing them on a watchlist of “known or suspected terrorists,” a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
The plaintiffs, 23 U.S. citizens, argued, with the backing of the Council on American Islamic Relations, that they were wrongly placed on the list, causing “a range of adverse consequences without a constitutionally adequate remedy.”
The plaintiffs, ruled U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga, “have constitutionally protected liberty interests that are implicated by their inclusion” on the list, and the Department of Homeland Security process by which people listed on the watchlist can challenge their inclusion “is not constitutionally adequate to protect those liberty interests.”
Trenga, a George W. Bush appointee, added “there is no evidence, or contention, that any of these plaintiffs satisfy the definition of a ’known terrorist.’ ” While Trenga’s ruling grants summary judgment to the plaintiffs, it directs both sides to file supplemental briefings on appropriate remedies before he rules further.

I’m sorry; but, just “pucker up”. The attacks on America have not been from Christians or Jews.
What? From what I understand 9/11 it was an Israeli Jewish plot carried by Pres. Bush using controlled demolition means and drone planes. all the Muslims named in the attack were framed.
At least that’s what many on the left tell me.
(Satire)
You know how the left constantly lies – the government had been watching these people in the 911 attacks and the Boston attacks for a long time. There is nothing Jewish related about it at all. We also hear it was a government coverup, induced by the government – but who was at the helm that was caught red-handed, and yet no one has come forward to dispute it but damned conspiracy theorists with nothing more to do than create ‘dramatic’ news stories that never pan out as stated.
Another anti-American POS who doesn’t belong on the bench.
Just do it and don’t tell the judge how you found out about them. None of the Judges business. Looks as if many of them hate the country.
Anyone supported by the terrorist organization CAIR should be thoroughly investigated by ICE (not the subversive FBI). Most of the list are foreign individuals with a few valid names of so-called American citizens on it. The judge was probably appointed by either Clinton or the imposter Obama, although Bush was no better than the other two losers. This is just another attempt by subversive slime in this country to undercut the current administration.
If they’re NBCs, then ICE has no jurisdiction.
RIGHT you are Robert.
If it’s somebody that CAIR defends , you know they are less than a brain decision away from being sleeper cell terrorists ! Not Americans !
Ditto, I thought CAIR WAS DESIGNATED AS a terrorist group. How can they be pay of a, lawsuit?🤔
The federal judges need a crash course in reality. There’s registered sex offenders, there’s felons who are on the no gun list, there’s a no fly list and, for now, there’s a voters rolls that you need to be on to vote and there’s a love affair with red flag laws, lists for terrorists just makes sense. Saul Alynski, Cloward and Piven would be proud of the federal judiciary.
If we can’t watch the Savages then I want every single one of them Deported Now!
You know the CIA is spraying poison on your family.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5vLuGPV-lU&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR3Pfxy1fwCLLzroPWj0n2bPO5qRBW-e3i2Pe0h79-ozSDybnqadsJEPkdA&ytbChannel=null
Now, I wonder what effect this will have on “Red Flag” actions? Probably none, but I was hoping that justice and due process would prevail.
I DO NOT AGREE WITH COMMIECRAT JUDGE.ALL OF OUR ENEMIES NEED TO BE WATCHED.AND THE ENEMY HAS NO RIGHTS.
Looks like terrorist judges are protecting terrorists. They dont care at all about out safety
unsubscribe me please
Allowing 9-11 was the excuse for the Industrial/Military complex to blow up more munitions in the Mid East.
It was also and excuse for “Big Brother” to create Homeland Security
and take away more Citizen Rights.
Like hell… Appeal the commie SOB.
There’s nothing wrong with a “Terror Watch List.” We need to know who’s in Our Country.
