As of Nov. 19, a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's asylum ban. Stay tuned for updates from the 澳彩开奖.

The 澳彩开奖 filed a federal lawsuit today against the Trump administration鈥檚 asylum ban, challenging an interim final rule that was issued yesterday and a presidential proclamation that President Trump signed this morning.聽

The ban makes migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry ineligible for asylum. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) already has a widespread practice and policy of turning back individuals who attempt to seek asylum at ports of entry, and the 澳彩开奖 has filed a previous lawsuit challenging that unlawful conduct.

Today鈥檚 lawsuit charges the administration聽with violating the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the U.S. Constitution鈥檚 due process protections.

鈥淭he asylum ban is unlawful and morally unconscionable,鈥� said Melissa Crow, 澳彩开奖 senior supervising attorney. 鈥淭his policy,聽coupled with CBP鈥檚 widespread practice and policy of turning back聽individuals attempting to seek asylum at ports of entry, would effectively聽deny protection to thousands of vulnerable individuals. The government鈥檚聽blatant disregard for the rights of asylum seekers cannot stand.鈥�

The lawsuit, East Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Trump, was filed in federal court in San Francisco.聽It was brought on behalf of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, Al Otro Lado, Innovation Law Lab, and the Central American Resource Center in Los Angeles.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Constitutional Rights joined the 澳彩开奖 in filing the lawsuit.
