Donald Trump found himself in the familiar embrace of controversy this week when he claimed Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage made him unfit to preside over the Trump University case. The media seized the story but seemed to ignore Curiel’s past support of illegal immigration.
United States District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the man presiding over the class-action lawsuit against Trump University, is a member of the La Raza Lawyers of San Diego and oversaw the gift of a law school scholarship to an illegal alien.
In his 2011 judicial questionnaire to become a federal judge, Curiel revealed his history with La Raza. GotNews.com originally reported this Tuesday, and The Daily Caller has independently verified.
Curiel lists “La Raza Lawyers of San Diego” as a legal association he has been a part of in the questionnaire. Curiel’s office at the United States District Court for the Southern District of California confirmed to TheDC the judge’s membership in the group.
A judge’s heritage may not be reason alone for disqualification, but being an active proponent of illegal aliens may. Considering Trump’s fierce immigration stance, this may not be a race issue at all, but a clash of ideology. Still, the media will play the race card whenever they can.

Trump has every right to be concerned about not getting a fair trial by this La Raza member so-called [impartial] judge! Pray for Trump! God has brought him this far but he needs our prayers in many ways. GO TRUMP! This “judge” should recuse himself, but probably won’t because he has an agenda for promoting illegal immigration.
This judge really does have a Conflict Of Interest. Trump is correct in what he says, as this won’t be a FAIR TRAIL. It’s the same as when they put$#%&!@*Judges to judge the JEWS . They were ruled guilty by the$#%&!@*judges, before the trial started, and then SHOT! Are these the kinds of non-neutral Judges we want on the bench at our trials? If the Judge were Solomon, maybe, but he’s not Solomon. This is nothing but CORRUPTION AT THE JUDICIAL LEVEL. HISPANICS FOR TRUMP 2016.
Figures. That makes Trump right on once again lol.
Wake up ! Trump is right. A judge can be wrong to.
Remove this judge
He needs to be kicked of the bench!!!
