Immigrant rights organizations and the ACLU have filed a lawsuit against President Trump's ban on asylum claims. They argue that the ban violates both US law and international treaties, which protect the right of individuals fleeing persecution to apply for asylum. The complaint highlights that the president overstepped his authority and undermines legal protections established under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It emphasizes that returning asylum seekers to danger is illegal and highlights the urgent need to protect vulnerable populations seeking safety in the US.
No president has the authority to unilaterally override the protections Congress has afforded those fleeing danger.
This is an unprecedented power grab that will put countless lives in danger.
