The deep state judiciary struck again this week when Clinton-appointed Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump’s common-sense initiative to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement locate illegal aliens using IRS data. The ruling represents yet another example of how decades of liberal judicial activism continue to prioritize the comfort of foreign nationals over the safety and economic security of American citizens.
At the heart of this legal battle lies a groundbreaking partnership between the IRS and ICE—the first systematic approach to leveraging existing taxpayer information for immigration enforcement. Rather than creating new bureaucracy or expanding government surveillance, Trump’s team simply proposed using data the federal government already possesses to locate individuals who have been ordered deported but remain in the country illegally.
The numbers behind this crisis are staggering. Between 2012 and 2016 alone, an estimated 39 million cases emerged of Americans having their Social Security numbers stolen and misused by illegal aliens. This isn’t just paperwork fraud—it’s a systematic assault on American identity that affects credit scores, tax returns, and employment verification for millions of hardworking citizens. Yet Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s injunction effectively shields this criminal enterprise under the guise of protecting “reliance interests” and maintaining “strict confidentiality” for tax information.
The judge’s reasoning reveals the twisted priorities of the administrative state. While claiming concern over violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, she ignores the federal government’s fundamental constitutional duty to enforce immigration law and protect American citizens from identity theft. This selective application of bureaucratic procedure represents classic deep state tactics: weaponizing regulatory complexity to obstruct America First policies while claiming procedural high ground.
The former Department of Government Efficiency’s investigations vindicated what patriots have long suspected—millions of illegal aliens have infiltrated not just our labor markets, but our Social Security system, Medicaid rolls, and potentially our voter registration databases. Rather than celebrating the discovery of this fraud and supporting efforts to address it, establishment judges like Kollar-Kotelly rush to protect the very networks that have operated with impunity for decades.
This judicial obstruction carries profound economic implications for American workers. Every stolen Social Security number represents not just identity theft, but potential wage suppression, tax fraud, and unfair competition in the job market. When illegal aliens use fraudulent documentation to secure employment, they undercut wages for legal workers while simultaneously draining public resources through fraudulent benefit claims.
The constitutional framework couldn’t be clearer. Article IV, Section 4 guarantees states protection against invasion, while Article II empowers the executive branch to faithfully execute immigration laws passed by Congress. Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s injunction effectively nullifies both constitutional provisions by preventing the federal government from using its own data to enforce its own laws against individuals who shouldn’t be in the country in the first place.
The timing of this ruling also raises questions about coordinated resistance from Clinton-era judicial appointees. As Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts gain momentum, expect more procedural challenges from judges who spent decades watching America’s immigration system collapse without lifting a finger to protect American sovereignty.
However, patriots should remain optimistic about the path forward. The Trump administration possesses multiple avenues for appeal, and this temporary setback illuminates exactly why judicial appointments remain crucial to the America First agenda. Every constitutionalist judge confirmed represents one less roadblock to restoring immigration enforcement and protecting American workers from identity theft and economic displacement.
This battle also demonstrates why the American people chose Trump’s leadership. While establishment politicians from both parties ignored the identity theft crisis for decades, Trump’s team identified the problem, developed a solution, and moved to implementation—only to be blocked by the same judicial activists who created this mess in the first place.
The deep state may win temporary victories through procedural manipulation, but the American people’s demand for immigration enforcement and protection from identity theft will ultimately prevail. Constitutional governance, economic nationalism, and basic respect for American citizenship aren’t radical concepts—they’re the foundation of any functioning republic worth preserving.
