Trump officials say judge blocking murderers’ deportations ruining U.S. foreign policy talks

Stephen Dinan, Washington Times

The Trump administration has obliquely warned judges for months that their immigration

rulings interfered with touchy foreign policy negotiations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now delivered the goods. In a startling filing with a federal court, Mr. Rubio said U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy may have fueled a civil war in Libya, disrupted U.S. counterterrorism operations in eastern Africa and dented America’s ability to deliver humanitarian aid in that region by considering an order to return deported murderers and sex offenders.
