Looking beyond the handful of emotional personal stories that are gaining the media\u2019s sympathy, there\u00a0is a more predictable political power dynamic at play. The lawsuits largely stem from organizations bankrolled by billionaire\u00a0leftist George Soros and Democratic state attorneys general.<\/p>\n<p>New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who has carried out a political vendetta against Trump, led 15 other state attorneys general in a joint statement condemning what they called an \u201cunconstitutional, un-American and unlawful executive order.\u201d The Democratic AGs also said, \u201cReligious liberty has been, and always will be, a bedrock principle of our country and no president can change that truth,\u201d a curious statement from the party that targeted the Little Sisters of the Poor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone that pressure groups funded by George Soros are litigating to keep U.S. ports-of-entry wide open to terrorists and other people who hate America\u00a0\u2026\u00a0Soros has said he wants to bring America down.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last August, George Soros\u2019\u00a0son, Alex Soros, posted a picture of himself with Schneiderman on Instagram, and wrote, \u201cGreat to meet with\u00a0#newyork\u00a0attorney general\u00a0@ericschneiderman\u00a0who recognized that\u00a0@realdonaldtrump\u00a0was a fraud way before many and has courageously taken him on!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schneiderman, as well as Democratic attorneys general in Virginia and Massachusetts, intervened in existing lawsuits. The lawsuit brought by Washington State\u00a0Attorney General Robert Ferguson has achieved the most success, bringing the case that blocked the order nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit convinced a federal judge of the state\u2019s standing on the claim the order is \u201cseparating Washington families, harming thousands of Washington residents, damaging Washington\u2019s economy, hurting Washington-based companies and undermining Washington\u2019s sovereign interest in remaining a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"ndn_embed_1\" class=\"ndn_embed ndn_embedContainer ndn-widget-embed-1 ndn_widget_VideoPlayer-Single ndn_embedded\" data-config-type=\"VideoPlayer\/Single\" data-config-width=\"100%\" data-config-height=\"9\/16w\" data-config-pb=\"7\" data-config-float=\"bottom right\" data-config-widget-id=\"2\" data-config-tracking-group=\"92353\" data-config-playlist-id=\"18080\" data-config-site-section=\"polizette\" data-config-video-id=\"31940497\">\n<div class=\"ndn_floatContainer ndn_floatContainer_enabled\">\n<div class=\"ndn_floatContainer_header\">\n<div class=\"ndn_videoTitle\">Judge Blocks Immigration Order Nationwide<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/launch.newsinc.com\/?type=VideoPlayer\/Single&amp;widgetId=1&amp;trackingGroup=69016&amp;playlistId=19132&amp;siteSection=polizette&amp;videoId=31940497\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" frameborder=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Democrats are even raising money off the lawsuits. In a Facebook post, the Democratic Attorneys General Association said, &#8220;Stand with Attorney General Bob Ferguson and all Democratic State Attorneys General fighting for what&#8217;s right!&#8221; It added, &#8220;Chip in to support Democratic AGs fighting for progressive rights and freedoms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the politicians, Soros&#8217;\u00a0Open Society Foundations, which advocates for open borders, is financing several advocacy groups that initiated litigation against the order.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the way in these lawsuits in several states is the American Civil Liberties Union, which has gotten at least $35.5 million from the Open Society Foundations, according to the Capital Research Center, a Washington think tank that investigates nonprofits.<\/p>\n<p>Soros also gave $4.6 million to the National Immigration Law Center, which has been involved in litigation, according to the CRC; and $621,000 to the Urban Justice Center, which has an appendage known as the International Refugee Assistance Project that has jumped into the lawsuits, according to the CRC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone that pressure groups funded by George Soros are litigating to keep U.S. ports-of-entry wide open to terrorists and other people who hate America,&#8221; Matthew Vadum, senior vice president of the CRC, told LifeZette. &#8220;Soros has said he wants to bring America down. Flooding the country with Muslim aliens who won&#8217;t assimilate is one way to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a Seattle suit, separate from the Washington State case, ABC News reported the American Immigration Council, the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, and the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild filed a class action complaint on behalf of lawful permanent residents that want their immediate family members that are citizens of the seven countries be able to enter the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Soros&#8217;\u00a0Open Society Foundations\u00a0gave $425,000 to the American Immigration Council from 2011 through 2013, according to the CRC, which shows Soros&#8217;\u00a0group also gave at least $50,000 to the National Lawyers Guild.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that a lawsuit is politically motivated doesn&#8217;t mean it lacks legal merits. Republican attorneys general and conservative groups challenged the Obama administration&#8217;s executive actions. But as the media plays up emotional stories, no one should try to divorce politics from these legal maneuvers.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifezette.com\/polizette\/soros-fingerprints-all-over-anti-trump-lawsuits\/\">http:\/\/www.lifezette.com\/polizette\/soros-fingerprints-all-over-anti-trump-lawsuits\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soros Fingerprints All Over Anti-Trump Lawsuits Billionaire leftist teams up with Democrat attorneys general to bury administration in legal challenges by Fred Lucas | Updated 06 Feb 2017 at 9:49 AM PoliZette More than a dozen lawsuits and counting have &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=65478\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=65478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65478\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=65478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=65478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=65478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
