Story highlights Judge Stephen Reinhardt calls Trump's deportation policies "inhumane"

"The government forces us to participate in ripping apart a family," he says

(CNN) A federal appeals court judge slammed the Trump administration's deportation policies on Tuesday.

Judge Stephen Reinhardt said it isn't fair or just for the government to kick out a 43-year-old coffee farmer who built a life as a successful businessman in Hawaii. But he said he can't do anything to stop the deportation of Andres Magana Ortiz.

"President Trump has claimed that his immigration policies would target the 'bad hombres,'" Reinhardt wrote in an opinion published by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday . "The government's decision to remove Magana Ortiz shows that even the 'good hombres' are not safe."

Magana Ortiz illegally immigrated to the United States from Mexico when he was 15 years old, according to court documents.

"The government's insistence on expelling a good man from the country in which he has lived for the past 28 years deprives his children of their right to be with their father, his wife of her right to be with her husband, and our country of a productive and responsible member of our community," Reinhardt wrote.
