In a ruling that will likely block a large number of immigrants from lodging successful asylum claims moving forward, Barr overturned a previous decision made by Board of Immigration Appeals, which found that being a member of family targeted by gangs or other criminal organizations could qualify them as a “particular social group” worthy of U.S. asylum. The White House’s top lawyer argued that the decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals was too broad, making it so that “virtually every alien” could make an asylum claim under such conditions. “While the Board has recognized certain clans and subclans as ‘particular social groups,’ most nuclear families are not inherently socially distinct and therefore do not qualify as ‘particular social groups,'” read Barr’s conclusion, according to a Justice Department official. “Further, as almost every alien is a member of a family of some kind, categorically recognizing families as particular social groups would render virtually every alien a member of a particular social group. There is no evidence that Congress intended the term ‘particular social group’ to cast so wide a net,” Barr’s findings continued. Barr said that, while there can be specific situations when belonging to a prominent family can suffice, such a broad standard cannot be applied automatically. The ruling pertains to a case known as “Matter L-E-A,” which involves a Mexican national caught twice entering the U.S. illegally. Upon his second deportation proceedings, the individual, simply referred to by the initials L-E-A, claimed asylum. He argued that his father’s store was being targeted by a cartel that wanted to force the store into selling drugs, which ultimately led to the cartel harassing him specifically. While the Board of Immigration Appeals denied his asylum claim, it did find that L-E-A was part of a recognizable group. Barr on Monday ruled that board was incorrect in the second part of its decision. The ruling comes after a string of wins for the White House’s immigration agenda. President Donald Trump on Friday announced that his administration reached a safe third country agreement with Guatemala, requiring U.S.-bound illegal immigrants who cross Guatemala first to apply for asylum in that country instead of lodging their claims at the U.S border. Also on Friday, the Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s decision, allowing the federal government to use $2.5 billion in military funds to build 100 miles of additional border wall. Poster Comment: I thought Barr would be a lame Bush milquetoast but he is running circles around Sessions.
Attorney General William Barr ruled Monday that being a member of a family harassed by gangs is not enough to qualify for asylum. 
No asylum for you, lying line-jumpers!

William Barr’s Connection to Ruby Ridge, Defending FBI Snipers
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Barr did help defend the accused. But it was Louis Frieh, Xlinton FBI director, who let the sniper and the ranking officials off the hook with little or no punishment. I'd bet there isn't a U.S. attorney of the era who didn't advocate the same things that Barr did. The feds are very protective of anything FBI does, even when they are dead wrong. And they are lawyers, not exactly moral people to begin with. And Barr is still a far better AG than Sessions.
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
