Caravan Marchers File Lawsuit Against President Trump!

The lawsuit, which targeted Trump, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the DHS itself, as well as other agencies and officials within the department, claimed that Trump’s threats were “shockingly unconstitutional,” according to the filing, which was published online by BuzzFeed News.

It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in a joint effort by three separate U.S. firms: McFadden & Shoreman in Washington, D.C., Nexus Derechos Humanos Attorneys in Atlanta, and Williams Oinonen LLC in Atlanta.

“President Trump continues to abuse the law, including constitutional rights, to deter Central Americans from exercising their lawful right to seek asylum in the United States, and the fact that innocent children are involved matters none to President Trump,” the lawsuit stated.

It argued that if the Trump administration followed through on the president’s threats, it would be violating the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, including the due process clause, which plaintiffs said applied to everyone in the U.S., including those who arrive on U.S. soil to seek asylum.
