(Reuters) - Immigrant rights groups asked a U.S. court on Thursday to reverse a Trump administration decision that allows asylum seekers who cross the border illegally to be held without bond.
The groups, which include the American Civil Liberties Union, say an April 16 decision by U.S. Attorney General William Barr violates the asylum seekers’ rights under U.S. law and puts thousands of people at risk of being detained for months or years while they wait for their cases to work their way through a backlogged immigration court system. {snip}
...The court challenge came in the form of an amended complaint to an existing lawsuit. Earlier in April, U.S. federal judge Marsha Pechman had ordered the U.S. government to provide faster bond hearings to asylum seekers who pass their initial screenings.
Before that ruling could go into effect, the Attorney General reversed an immigration court precedent that had allowed asylum seekers who entered the country illegally to ask an immigration judge to release them on bond. Barr delayed the implementation of his decision by 90 days, and the rights groups are suing to stop it from going into effect.

They aren’t “civil rights” groups, they’re open borders 5th columnist.
JoJo Krako: “I got rights!”
Chief Engineer Scott: “You got nothin!”
So funny. USSC just decided a similar case which says that bond id not allowed based on the status they are in. Any court that doesn’t follow the USSC precedent is looking for quick a$$ chewing and overturning of their ruling.
Stop the Madness.
Americans have no standing, though illegal aliens do? I’m sure the Framers were totally on board with that. It’s right in there, emanations and penumbras.
“Asylum seekers” my ass.
