Sadist Trump Judges.

The article discusses the dehumanization of immigrants by Republican politicians and judges, highlighting the cruelty and pleasure some judges seem to derive from denying immigrants' humanity. It specifically focuses on a recent decision by Trump-appointed judge Trevor McFadden, who allowed a lawsuit to proceed alleging environmental harm caused by the Biden administration's border policies. The article criticizes the judge's reasoning, which prioritizes the well-being of cows over the basic needs of immigrants, portraying them as "thirsty trespassers." Ultimately, the article argues that the treatment of immigrants is not just an environmental issue but a moral one that tests our humanity. [Extracted from the article]
