Honduran migrants traveling in a caravan to seek asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border are suing President Donald Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and other key figures, arguing the administration's stance is "shockingly unconstitutional."
The class-action civil suit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., claims 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."
The suit asks the federal court to declare a number of Trump's recent policy proposals to be in violation of the supreme law of the land "to end this case and controversy."

That didn’t take long. I doubt it will take long to dismiss it, too.
Illegal aliens have NO constitutional rights.
So called “constitutional rights “ have cheapened to the point of being meaningless. It’s like calling someone a racist.
“Illegal aliens have NO constitutional rights.”
Exactly.
If they are attempting to gain asylum, then by UN regulation, they had to apply for such in their home country -OR- in the first country they arrive in, which is Nicaragua.
If they are making the asinine statement that they have US Constitutional rights, then why not everyone else in the world? If then, that everyone in the world has US Constitutional rights, then what is the point of US citizenship?
We really need to get out of the UN.
How the heck do they sue us BEFORE they are even here yet????
:: Why is this suit accepted ::
Because our judicial system is building reasons to mass-deport thousands if a single class with a simple decision in a single case?
This would be a start...let’s see where this goes.
...let’s see where this goes.
Here hold mah beer!
Standing?
We don’t need no steenkin’ standing.....
The caravaneers already have received asylum from Mexico. Those continuing on are not in danger of persecution by Mexico’s government (which is a requirement of asylum), so they have no claim for asylum in the US.
No Standing, thud.
Not only do they lack standing as they have no rights to violate, they also lack jurisdiction. A 1st year law student should be able to get this case dismissed by one simple motion.
Funny though that New Yorkers seek asylum in Florida. They should be halted at the New Jersey or Pennsylvania State border.
How does a citizen of a DIFFERENT country have standing to bring forth a lawsuit regarding constitutional rights in a country they are not a citizen of?
Am I missing something here? Not a laywer but have been to civil court a couple of times for contract disputes, which only qualifies me to know a little more then nothing at all.
I don’t think PA or NJ wants them either.
That’s right, and they should sue for not receiving their free postage mail in voting ballots on time,too!
What’s the basis of the suit? Trump said they would process every request. It seems they people suing have no standing; they haven’t been denied process, they haven’t even entered the country yet (thus don’t have the 5th Amendment protections yet), and they haven’t filed for asylum. They could have saved themselves 1000s of miles by applying for asylum at any Embassy or Consulate they passed along the trek north.
Drop napalm on all of these leeches
