Republican narrative

This judge is illegitimately trying to limit the president's power while also obstructing federal law enforcement and endangering the lives of agents trying to remove dangerous illegal immigrants. This deployment protects federal personnel while they're doing their job to make America safer. This ruling must be overturned.
