Clinton camp blasts Trump for attacks on Latino judge

“Donald Trump’s highly personal, racially tinged attacks on a federal judge overseeing a pair of lawsuits against him have set off a wave of alarm among legal experts, who worry that the Republican presidential candidate’s vendetta signals a remarkable disregard for judicial independence”. “It’s reasoning I don’t relate to, I completely disagree with the thinking behind that”.

Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in IN to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern US border, the Journal said.

Ryan told WISN’s “Up Front with Vicki McKenna” on Friday that the comment was “out of left field”, NBC News reported.

“I think Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself”, he said, “I’m telling you, this court system, judges in this court system, federal court, they ought to look into Judge Curiel”.

On Wednesday, Curiel ordered some records that were released in the class action lawsuit against Trump University be yanked from public view.

“Judge Curiel and his family epitomize the American Dream”, Clinton Hispanic outreach staffer Lorella Praeli said.

Curiel’s past association with the plaintiff’s attorney requires him to step aside, Trump argues. He and his brother became successful lawyers. “His other brother served in Vietnam”.

“The fact that Donald Trump doesn’t see Judge Curiel and his family as Americans makes him unfit to be President of this great nation, a nation of immigrants”, she said in the statement. But they are America.

The revelations come as the 2016 presidential race shapes up as a contest between Trump and the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, who has sharply criticized his remarks.

Earlier, at his San Diego rally Monday, Trump spent 12 minutes of his 58-minute speech on the Trump University issue.

Trump has drawn criticism for his comments about immigrants from Mexico, some of whom he has said were criminals and rapists. “It’s an inherent conflict of interest”, Trump said, according to the newspaper.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson falsely asserted Curiel is a member of an Hispanic activist group, the National Council of La Raza, staging anti-Trump protests around California.

Earlier this week, Curiel ruled to unseal documents in the Trump University case, including sales and marketing “playbooks” from 2007 through 2010 that advised instructors on how to sell the courses to students.
