During his trip to Japan, President Trump took to social media to condemn California District Judge Haywood Gilliam, who recently issued an injunction halting the transfer of Pentagon funding to construct physical barriers at the US-Mexico border.
“Another activist, Obama-appointed judge has just ruled against us on a section of the Southern Wall that is already under construction,” explained Trump, who said the ruling was “against Border Security and in favor of crime, drugs and human trafficking.”
Trump added, “We are asking for an expedited appeal!”

Trump supporters agreed, and urged the president to stand strong in the face of continued obstruction and judicial activism, which has hindered construction of the proposed border barrier since his election.
Thank you for being strong on immigration. This is why you will win by a landslide in 2020. 👌🏼🇺🇸💜

When Federal judges become liberal activists instead of honorable judicial officers they can AND SHOULD be impeached.

Every single judge appointed by Barack Obama should be thrown off the bench. They are not legitimate judicial officers they are far left activists!

America needs to stand united against the abuse of our great judicial system by radical leftist judges. Fire them all.

That is a Judge that must be removed from the bench for endangering the American people.

Just keep constructing, let that judge show his face on site and tell the crew to stop. I’d like to see that!

These judges that are endangering the American people need to be removed from the bench.
