If Kris Kobach had a love child with ICE, that child would be Judge Andrew Hanen.
Judge Andrew Hanen may be the most anti-immigrant judge in the United States.
During the Obama administration, Hanen didn’t simply strike down several of President Obama’s signature immigration policies, he ordered a dox attack against tens of thousands of immigrants (though this order was later stayed).
After a dispute arose between Hanen and a handful of Justice Department attorneys defending Obama’s immigration policies — Hanen claims that the lawyers intentionally deceived him, the lawyers claim that they merely misunderstood a question — Hanen ordered hundreds of government lawyers, most of whom had never appeared in his courtroom, to attend a remedial ethics course.
