Under this unlawful plan, immigrants who have lived here for years would be deported with less due process than people get in traffic court. We will sue to end this policy quickly.

Asylum seekers are being put at serious risk of harm every day that the forced return policy continues.

Asylum seekers are being put at serious risk of harm every day that the forced return policy continues, notably, two of the three judges that heard this request found that there are serious legal problems with what the government is doing, so there is good reason to believe that ultimately this policy will be put to a halt.

Omar Jadwat law specifically allows individuals to apply for asylum whether or not they are at a port of entry. It is illegal to circumvent that by agency or presidential decree.

The President can not erase The Constitution with an executive order, and the 14th Amendment's citizenship guarantee is clear, this is a transparent and blatantly unconstitutional attempt to sow division and fan the flames of anti-immigrant hatred in the days ahead of the midterms.

Even when this administration otherwise banned large numbers of Muslims, it explicitly provided that it was not taking away the right to apply for asylum, but if the reports are correct, under this new plan, the administration would now target asylum and refuse to protect individuals who can prove that United States will be persecuted -- a breathtaking moral failure.

It has been widely reported by the media that most of the people in the caravan are coming to United States for economic reasons, and that is not grounds for political asylum, there are countless failing countries across the globe where there is a breakdown of civil society, which is obviously a very serious issue, but it is not political persecution.

The ruling will go down in history as one of the Supreme Court's... by Omar Jadwat

The ruling will go down in history as one of the Supreme Court's great failures.

What President Donald Trump has suggested here is both illegal and unconstitutional. Any official who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws should disavow it unequivocally.

The last thing the government should be doing is putting immigrants into prisons so that it can detain even more people who pose no threat to anyone.

The Trump administration has conceded that its original Muslim ban was indefensible, unfortunately, it has replaced it with a scaled-back version that shares the same fatal flaws.

The only way to actually fix the Muslim ban is not to have a Muslim ban, instead, President Trump has recommitted President Trump to religious discrimination, and President Trump can expect continued disapproval from both the courts and the people.

President Trump has recommitted himself to religious discrimination, and he can expect continued disapproval from both the courts and the people.

That is ridiculous, especially when federal law makes perfectly clear that what the state is demanding is illegal.
