    Class action lawsuits for detainment of non us citizens?

The discovery process is going to be mighty interesting.
    Trump will just try to use the same no obstruction since no collusion logic.

    They're illegal so they shouldn't be allowed to use our justice system to sue us and be awarded money!



    Edit: NVM I see it was already in the back of thethe's mind.

    It is an obvious point. But there are laws and legal arrangements that constrain what the government can do to people under detention, regardless of citizenship or legal residency status.

    And what has been done that is deemed illegal?

    There is the Flores agreement. To cite one example. But there is much more than that. The federal government is not free to treat illegal immigrants as it wishes. There is a legal framework that applies.

    You will find out soon enough when that 3-judge panel rules on whether there has been a violation of the Flores agreement.

    And if the separation policy is justified by the lack of ability to verify familial relationships?

    As I said the discovery process on this should yield some interesting nuggets.

    Worth noting that we’ve progressed from “there is no family separation policy,” which was untrue, to “Obama instituted the family separation policy,” which was also untrue, to “the separation policy is justified by the lack of ability to verify familial relationships.”

    I mean, thethe likes and supports the policy. Why play games? Just accept it and own it for what it is.

    For starters, i do like the policy because it acts as a deterrent and protects children unless you dont believe the cartels are using kids to make it into the US.

    And it is pretty clear the policy was crafted to act as a deterrent by making life unpleasant for these children and families. If a few of them died as a result, hey c'est las guerre. And I'm sure the discovery process will show that. Good luck in court. And yes the taxpayer will likely have to fork over a substantial settlement/judgment.

    All while trying to say all live is precious and if you are on the side of allowing abortion, you are a murderer

    They always move the goal posts cause it’s easier to justify the horror they support if they get to the truth slowly instead of being honest from the start

    Children are being killed because there parents made an irresponsible decision to break a foreign countries laws and make a perilous journey with no guarantee.

    No child is being killed by the US.

    wow, the fence you are trying to straddle to support children dying while trying to absolve yourself is amazing
