Judge Lopez Wants to Abolish Illegal Immigrant Detention Completely

Judge Lopez is charged with passing judgement on migrants who may be required to remain in detention before being deported to their home country, but Judge Lopez is an open borders radical who wants to swing open the doors of the prisons to put tens of thousands of illegal aliens on the streets.  Put simply he opposes detaining any illegal aliens.

“Immigration detention, at its core, is inhumane,” said Lopez with ISLA Immigration. “We should be done away with it completely.”

Further criticizing spending on illegal alien detention, Lopez called detaining immigrants a waste of money.

“They are typically the same representatives who are up in arms about spending on social services willing to indiscriminately waste taxpayers’ funds on these horrible conditions.”

Lopez is a danger on the immigration court.  He has shown that he is an open borders liberal who will put American communities in danger by dumping millions of illegal aliens crossing the border directly onto the streets of our communities.

Judge Lopez Opposes Efforts to Detain Illegal Aliens and Keep Them Off America’s Streets

During the Trump Administration, the Department of Homeland Security had made it a priority to detain illegal aliens so that dangerous criminals could be kept out of America’s communities and that illegal migrants could be easily deported to their home countries.  

Homero Lopez was an open-borders attorney in Louisiana, before being elevated to an Immigration Judge by the Biden-Harris administration, and he was actively working to undermine efforts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal aliens and making bogus claims about access to the court system. All of this is an effort to clog the system with bogus asylum claims.

Homero López, the executive director of the Louisiana legal aid organization ISLA, says that even some Louisiana detainees who can afford a lawyer aren’t able to get one because of how quickly ICE is expanding in the state. “ICE is saying they want to get to 15,000 [detainees] by the end of the summer in Louisiana,” López says, based on what he’s heard from guards and other lawyers. “There’s an intentional, purposeful approach behind this of putting people where they can’t access counsel.”

America’s communities are rightly concerned about the threat illegal aliens pose to public health and safety, yet the immigration judge who is responsible for protecting America’s communities is openly hostile to opening facilities to jail illegal aliens.
