This Judge Became a Citizen in 2019 and Started Overruling Trump An Egyptian Muslim judge keeps issuing rulings to help Egypt. Earlier this year, Judge Amir Ali was able to get some revenge by illegally overriding President Trump’s pause on visa applications from 75 countries, many of them Muslim countries associated with terrorism, including Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iran and Ali’s native Egypt. Judge Amir Ali should have also recused himself from that case, instead the newly arrived federal judge and recent citizen, used his D.C. judicial base to abuse his power and to make a name for himself in what Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito called “an act of judicial hubris.”
