East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, et al. v. Donald J. Trump, et al.
After the Trump administration declared migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry ineligible for asylum, the 澳彩开奖 filed a federal lawsuit challenging the asylum ban.
The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco,聽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. It was filed on behalf of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant, Al Otro Lado, Innovation Law Lab and the Central American Resource Center in Los Angeles.
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 filed a previous聽lawsuit聽challenging that unlawful conduct. The asylum ban,聽coupled with CBP鈥檚 鈥渢urn back鈥� policy at ports of entry, would effectively聽deny protection to thousands of vulnerable individuals.
A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction against the asylum ban in December 2018. That same month, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the administration鈥檚 request to immediately enforce the ban.
