Trump’s big stupid mouth is the smoking gun in court fight over immigration

mostlysignssomeportents:

Remember when the words “shithole country” erupted from Trump’s oozing, racist mouth-hole? Yeah, so does everyone else.

The remarks have proven particularly useful for immigration advocates
who are suing the Trump regime over its policy of revoking Temporary
Protected Status from 200,000 brown people from four countries who are
lawfully resident in the USA.

At the first hearing last week at a US District Court in San Francisco,
ACLU Southern California legal director Ahilan Arulanantham argued that
“shithole country” was evidence that the Trump regime’s ethnic cleansing
program “was motivated by its racism against non-white, non-Europeans
immigrants,” and “That racist motivation was obvious from a number of
statements that this president and others in the administration made,
including about TPS holders specifically.”
