The bad news is that a three-judge panel on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a temporary restraining order to prevent President Trump’sroving ICE deportation patrols in Southern California. The good news is that the illegal aliens don’t care. They’re still in hiding! It’s like living in a brand-new country out here in California right now. CNN is hyperventilating about it, because America is, in fact, turning into a brand-new country before our very eyes.

An ACLU lawyer in California named Mohammad Tasjar took up the case of Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem. Mr. Perdomo has been living in Pasadena illegally for the past 14 years, while stealing construction jobs that were meant for blue-collar American workers. On the morning of June 18, Perdomo and three other illegal aliens were waiting at a bus stop to head to their stolen jobs.

An ICE vehicle pulled up to the curb. The four illegal aliens reacted the same way that all red-blooded Americans do in the presence of law enforcement. They calmly sat there and waited to see what the officers wanted.

Just kidding!

They ran like hell, which is what guilty people do.

Perdomo’s lawyer claims that he was chained in a room with 52 other people, with no access to a bathroom. He’s also a diabetic, which means he’s been collecting taxpayer-provided medical benefits for the 14 years that he’s illegally been here. He complained in a press conference that the food he was given while being detained was “inedible.”

Amazingly, Perdomo and his fellow criminals were released on bond by a liberal judge and are back out on the streets. And they sued Kristi Noem for arresting them.

The 9th Circuit panel has now ruled that Perdomo and his buddies were racially profiled, and that ICE didn’t have probable cause to stop and check the immigration status of four day laborers wearing toolbelts at a bus stop in Southern California. As a result of that ruling, the roving patrols must stop—at least temporarily.

While the Perdomo v. Noem temporary ruling is being hailed as a landmark victory, it’s unlikely to withstand full judicial scrutiny. The illegal aliens all know this, otherwise they’d be carrying on with life as usual again.

They’re not. They’re still in hiding.

The traffic in Southern California is gone. Errands that took two or three hours in May now take me about 20 minutes because the roads are so clear.

One American dad reported on X this week that he had to take his child to the emergency room in LA for stitches. That would normally be a six-hour ordeal in the waiting room, plus the hours in traffic to get to the hospital. He says they showed up and his child immediately got stitches. They were in and out in 25 minutes.

Traffic accidents in LA County plummeted by 10% in July, and traffic fatalities suddenly dropped 7%. As we reported last week, crime has dropped by 14 to 24% in all of California’s major cities this summer. Anyone care to hazard a guess why?

It will be amazing to see what happens in a couple of weeks when the school year starts in California.

President Trump’s next move will help curb visa overstays. Millions of foreigners get into the country on visas every year and then they just never leave. White House adviser Stephen Miller says they’re considering a $15,000 visa bond for anyone who wants to come in. The foreigner only gets the money back when they return to their home country.

Thank you, President Trump!

Watters: People are showing what Google maps looks like in L.A. now that all the illegals are hiding from I.C.E. There is no traffic on the freeway. You can go on the 405 and go 65 miles an hour. Trump has literally reduced traffic in Los Angeles pic.twitter.com/dC1FWNHLnY
