(TNS) We’re a pretty law-and-order bunch around here, but given how the federal judiciary has continually infringed on the rights and the authorities vested in the Executive Branch, we look at this story as a ‘win’ for justice.
In a development that flew under the radar this week, what with all of the impeachment shenanigans in D.C., the Customs and Border Protection agency appears to have flouted a federal judge’s order to refrain from deporting an Iranian who may have been an “enforcer” for the regime.
Red State noted:
On Sunday, an Iranian holding a student visa to study at Northeastern University, 24-year-old Mohammad Shahab Dehghani Hossein Abadi, was detained by Customs and Border Protection (CPB) as he tried to pass through passport control at Boston’s Logan International Airport.
The bad news part of the story is that we’re still allowing a state sponsor of terrorism to send children of its ruling class to American universities. Kind of hard to believe that we still allow this to go on given the Iran’s attacks on US citizens and interests.
The first part of the good news is that CPB had received orders to prevent his entrance and put him on the first thing smoking that was heading out of the country. Somehow the ACLU and, it seems, the pro-terror non-declared-agent-of-a-foreign-government organization beloved of Ben Rhodes and the Obama White House, the National Iranian American Council, got involved.
The case was immediately pushed in front of a federal judge who summarily blocked the CPB from doing its constitutional and legal duty, ordering the agency to withhold deportation for at least 48 hours.
Nevertheless, Mohammad Shahab Dehghani Hossein Abadi, was placed aboard an Air France airliner bound for Paris, which left his supporters alone in a courtroom wondering where he was and the Marxists who represent one of the original 13 colonies incensed (as usual) that an Iranian was ‘dealt with.’
As a @Northeastern & @UMassBoston student, Shahab is my constituent & I’m demanding answers. @CBP hastily put Shahab on a flight out of @BostonLogan w/o due process, violating a court order. We won’t stand for this in the #MA7. #StopDeportingStudentshttps://t.co/Ef009VZ9cp
