Over the past month, the Trump administration has begun to implement a policy that has reportedly led to the forced separation of hundreds of undocumented immigrant parents from their children after theyve arrived together at the U.S. border. This followed reports that a pilot program of such a policy had been undertaken between July and November 2017. Democrats have argued that this apparent practice is cruel, heartless, and betrays our nations deepest values. The ACLU, meanwhile, has argued in court on behalf of separated immigrant families that such a practice would beand isblatantly unconstitutional.
On Wednesday, Dana Sabraw, a federal district court judge in California, issued a stinging rebuke to the governments request to dismiss the ACLUs claim under the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment. He also indicated in his opinion that the government would likely be found to be in violation of the due process rights of these immigrant families. Judge Sabraw resoundingly rejected the argument that the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment had not been violated. (Sabraw, a George W. Bush appointee, at the same time accepted the governments motion to dismiss the ACLUs statutory grounds arguments.)

Can a child be sent on a one way flight to the US without a passport? Send them home.
How is a lowly district judge ever “stinging”? This is like that Hawaiian judge. They’re irrelevant, the higher courts will ultimately have the final say.
Another example of why the seating of Trumps nominated judges is so important. Absolutely disgusted with the slow pace the Senate is allowing to happen on this issue.
That is the CORE ISSUE in a nutshell. EXCELLENT point.
Any good lawyer would tell those in advance of committing any crime to "take your kids along" and we'll have a way to fight it should you be apprehended and a point of LEGAL contention on which to fight it in court.
As usual, the JUDGE sounds like a bleeding heart LIBERAL with his head up his A$$!
I'm NOT a hard a$$... just a minor character passin' through who BELIEVES "the LAW is the LAW" and must it be enforced if we're to have a Republic and a society.
Detain them all.

These Invaders know the consequences,but they come anyway believing their kids will help them be able to remain here.
And liberals are facilitating this.
If one’s parents are habitual criminals don’t their children
become wards of the state or something?
Hey Judge!
You are an IDIOT!!
Have you ever sent AMERICAN KIDS to prison with their parents when you sentenced them?
Ask a liberal if there is anyone on Earth (or beyond) who does not receive protection under the Constitution.
Then having a military with parents is unconstitutional and sending kids to camp or a private boarding school or public school for that matter!
Send the whole illegal family back.
It would be much more humane to dump them back on the other side of the border, wouldn’t it? Or, better yet, to have a real “Wall” so it wasn’t an issue.
Jail for judges! who cannot operate as judges that make lawful ruling based on legislated laws.
Impeach this judge.
No US authority prevents these law-breaking parents from taking their children with them wherever they go.
Then change the law to allow it.
Or we can use some national defense money to add more immigration judges! And make them roving judges with a Winnebago court room that travels with the buses, and they can hear the plaintiff’s before kicking them out.
Instant justice.
Criminals of all stripes are separated from their children every minute of the day all over the USA.
A bounty is the most efficient solution to illegals crossing the border.
Do you really trust this congress to pass an immigration bill that wont screw us?
Thanks for the PING
