Among other claims, Trump hinted that he might ask soldiers to fire on the migrants if they start pelting border agents with rocks, and that he would be building "Massive cities of tents" to house the would-be asylum seekers as they await their hearings in an effort to end the "Abuse" of the US asylum seekers.
Well, apparently these remarks haven't sat well with members of the caravan and their shadowy financial backers, because a group of 12 migrants, six of them children, have filed a lawsuit against Trump, claiming his efforts to beef up security along the border, and threats to deprive them of asylum, represent "Shockingly unconstitutional" attacks on their rights, according to Fox News.
Twelve Honduran nationals, including six children, were named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in the US District Court in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit alleges that it is widely known that Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are enmeshed in an "Undergoing a well-documented human rights crisis." Furthermore, the suit claims that Trump cannot stop migrants from entering the US when they have a credible claim of asylum, according to the Washington Examiner.
The lawsuit points to Trump's claim that he will prevent the caravan from entering the U.S. It claims that the president cannot stop asylum-seekers by employing the military - when they have a fair claim.
The suit criticized the president's attempt at stoking "Fear and hysteria," by claiming that criminals and gang members have joined the caravan.
The suit also alleges that the US can't send troops across the US-Mexico border to stop migrants from entering the US. It also argues that Trump can't demand that asylum seekers present themselves at lawful border-crossing points, as US law states that an asylum seeker can declare their intention to seek asylum anywhere.
Nexus Services Inc. is funding the lawsuits through a civil rights law firm called Nexus Derechos Humanos Attorneys Inc. "Federal law enables migrants to apply for asylum in the United States. President Trump and his administration have used 'increased enforcement,' like separating families and lengthening detention to violate migrant rights," Mike Donovan, president of Nexus Services, said in the release.
