‘We will not stand idbenos’: groups of rights file a lawsuit against Trump’s asylum prohibition | News Donald Trump
Washington, DC – Several groups for immigrants’ rights in the United States, as well as the US Union Civic Freedom (ACLU), filed a lawsuit that challenged the ban on President Donald Trump as Asylum.
The case is the latest attempt to oppose Trump’s Hard immigration policieswho were aiming for people who are already within the country, as well as those who seek safety from abroad.
Like other lawsuits that are underway against Trump’s administration, on Monday complaint He claims that the President exceeded his constitutional powers and violated the existing law.
Currently, it is legal to seek asylum seeks to go to the US if they run away from persecution.
“This is an unprecedented grab of strength that will bring countless life in danger,” said Lee Gallant, Deputy Director of the Project of Immigrants ACLU Rights, said UA statement.
“No president has the authority to unilaterally override the protection of Congress to those who are running away from danger.”
The appeal states the domestic legislation and the obligations of an international contract that require the US government to allow individuals to apply for asylum. This includes the Law on Immigration and Nationality (INA).
“The Congress created a comprehensive legal system through an immigration and citizenship Act that enabled to flee the persecution or torture to seek protection in the United States,” the lawsuit reads.
“According to the proclamation, the Government does exactly what Congress has determined that the United States should not work. Returning asylum seekers – not only single adults, but also families – in countries where they face persecution or torture. “
Day-one proclamation
The complaint on Monday is a direct goal of one of the proclamation that Trump signed on the first day of his second term.
Shortly after his inauguration on January 20th, Trump discovered a document entitled, “guarantee of the protection of states against invasion”.
In it, he stated that unfathomrated immigrants “limited from calling the provisions of INA that would enable their continuous presence in the United States.”
The Republican leader cited the risks for “national security” as well as the possibility of “infectious disease” as his explanation. He also claimed that the southern border of the US was “overwhelmed” by entering.
“Therefore, I direct that entering the United States of such foreigners is suspended until I have issued the finding that the invasion of the southern border has stopped,” Trump wrote.
The Republican leader has long been engaged in a stubborn approach to immigration, including the idea of sealing the border to the asylum seeker.
His offer for the 2024 re -selection was defined by the same rhetoric of the Fire Ship, including the Nativist claims that the United States had overcome the migrant “invasion”.
Trump has repeatedly blamed the unfathomable people for the troubles of the country, from violent crime to unemployment.
A return blow
But groups like ACLU have sought to distract against Trump’s policies, using the court system to question their legal merit.
In the case of Monday, the lawsuit claims that Trump’s proclamation is not only contrary to US law, but also to its obligations in international contracts.
For example, the US ratified the 1967 protocol relating to the status of refugees, a contract that establishes protection for refugees.
In a statement on Monday, Jennifer Babaie, the director of the advocacy and legal services at the Processing Center for immigrant Las American in Texas, said that the lawsuit shows that she and others “will not stand peacefully because our immigration laws are manipulated.”
“Regardless of the individual beliefs of any person about immigration, any attempt to the Government obviously violates our laws is a serious question that affects all communities throughout the country,” Babaie said.
The Texas Group is one of the four appointed prosecutors in a lawsuit, together with the Texas Civic Rights Project, the Center for Education and the Legal Service for Refugees and Immigrant (RAICES) and the Florence Imagrant and Refugee Project.
Wave of legal challenges
But the immigration actions that Trump have taken in the first weeks of his second term extend beyond the search for asylum.
Even in the first hours of his Presidency, Trump signed several Executive actions intended to limit immigration and expulsion of unfathomable people already in the United States.
Trump has increased their immigration implementation activities, beat up the troops to the US border, suspended the US refugee program for 90 days and canceled an internet report used by asylum seekers to schedule a meeting in the USA.
Some asylum seekers have been waiting for the meetings they have booked in the application for months, known as the CBP One. The removal of the app has canceled its scheduled meetings, leaving them in the limb.
Subsequently, the rights for the rights launched a legal challenge, questioning the dissolution of CBP.
Other legal challenges seek to confront Trump’s spread of the “accelerated removal” process, which would quickly eject unfathomrated individuals from the country.
Others also sought to undo the stop order stopping financing legal services for immigrants held in custody.
Meanwhile, advocate groups and various state governments filed at least five lawsuits against Trump’s executive order Wanting to finish Nationality of birth in the US.
In January, the federal judge quickly blocked Trump’s command, calling him “sharply unconstitutional.”
