Sure, I get that a lawyer filed it. So how did the migrant hire the lawyer?

So a non-citizen not physically in the US filed a lawsuit against the US for an event that hasn't actually happened yet.

Some American NGOs on the ground down there just grabbed 12 people got their names then called the organization in the USA that filed the suit. The Hondurans have no idea someone filed a suit on their behalf.

Exactly, how could some Inca descendant that probably doesn't even know the laws of HIS land know anything about the US Constitution. Man, these Demons are their namesake, Demonic. They'll stop at nothing and stoop to nothing.

Goal is to avoid tent city processing for 1) catch and release 2) get as many applying for refugee status. BTW refugees get free housing, free food, free medical care, free monthly stipend.

Now Redwing knows why his taxes went up. He should be ecstatic!

We need a wall. A big beautiful wall

Thats my point---how does a person on Mexican soil who has yet to be questioned by US authorities have standing to file the suit?

Good coverage on those Obamaphones

They are not migrants in the first place.

this seems too stupid to pay attention to. compelling nonetheless

I dont know if I am more disappointed in the courts that let this filing go through or in the attorneys that filed this lawsuit...

Really!

They aren't even here yet and they're already acting like out-of-power Democrats.

Pretty sure we have laws that protect those seeking asylum here if they meet the criteria. What I'm not positive about is whether the law (or a governmental policy) only permits a certain number from each country every year and what the current totals are from their home country already.

I see nothing wrong with them preemptively looking into what they are legally entitled to in case they are not afforded protection under those laws when they finally arrive at the border.

They were offered asylum in Mexico and refused it.

To me that means this is a frivolous lawsuit.

But then again why leave Honduras or even Mexico? We've been told these are safe, beautiful places.

They were offered asylum in Mexico. If they need a new place due to “imminent” danger in Honduras, I think their problem has already been solved. Unless their asylum claims are bullshlt...

What? file a lawsuit over something that might happen. Laws already exist.

OK lookey here,

Here is who filed the suit.

Libre by Nexus helps post bond for people being held in immigration detention centers while they wait for their cases to be heard in backlogged courts. In exchange for their freedom, immigrants sign contracts promising to pay Libre $420 per month while wearing the company’s GPS ankle devices.

The contracts have been the subject of lawsuits and allegations of fraud by immigrants who claim they did not understand them.

Libre by Nexus has vigorously denied any wrongdoing, saying its contracts are transparent and preferable to someone remaining behind bars.

The Washington Post reported a year ago that at least two states were investigating the company at the time but did not name them.

Details of the investigations are revealed in a flurry of recent legal filings by and against the company.

Our quota for latin america and the Caribbean is 1,500 and 955 have already been granted asylum.
