A dozen migrants traveling by foot from Honduras to the U.S. to seek asylum filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday against President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security and others, claiming a violation of their due process under the Fifth Amendment.
The Fifth Amendment states that, "no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
A recent PBS report cited former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who ruled in 1993 case that "it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in a deportation proceeding."
Twelve Honduran nationals, including six children, are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The suit, which was filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., said it is widely known that Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are undergoing a well-documented human rights crisis. The lawsuit also claims that the plaintiffs right to the Administrative Procedures Act and the Declaratory Judgement Act were being infringed upon.

Likely another Hawaiian judge will issue an injunction against Trump, which is only going to serve to cement the Red Wave that’s coming on Tuesday.
Hey, why not? According to the Dems, the whole world has a right to come to the US and get Welfare and Food Stamps, paid for by the US taxpayer.
Hmmm, if they are truly seeking asylum, wouldn’t the closest country where they are not in danger be the obvious place that asylum is sought? It’s pretty plain that their claims of seeking asylum are not valid since they have continued on their journey toward the goose that laid the golden egg instead of accepting Mexico’s generous offer of help!! That fact in itself should disqualify every single one of them for consideration for asylum. Period!!
No they didn’t. democrats contacted lawyers and paid them to file suit.
In their complaint they are seeking Class standing for an entire continent to seek asylum. Cant see how they have Standing in first place or how someone in Mexico can turn it down from Mexico and then seek it from another country.
So now people who are foreign aliens have Constitutional rights? Basically, the entire planet. The Democrats would probably agree.
Yep, think its called one set of laws for me and mine and another set of laws for the lawyers, judges, the legislature, and all except me and mine. Thats why each has to put up their own defense. The lawyers, judges, legislators have their backs covered. Aka deep state
Dems do agree, ever hear Occasional Cortex the NY socialist say this...I have.
“Likely another Hawaiian judge will issue an injunction against Trump, which is only going to serve to cement the Red Wave thats coming on Tuesday.”
Our Dear Hawaiian Leader.
Lawyers Americas #1 problem. They become judges and politicians.
Teachers Americas #2 problem. They indoctrinate our children.
Women voters Americas #3 problem. They emotion-vote.
If the Constitution applies worldwide, we’ve got a lot of wars to declare.
Are they going to impeach him if Trump doesn’t comply?
“Gross misapplication of the law and intellectual dishonesty.”
But this is typical leftist maneuvering. The ultra left radicals, snowflakes, dumbed-down morons and useful idiots that make up the dem party will never know the difference.
The case was thrown out because no plaintiff was available within the USA for deposition
“What is to stop some foreign government to sue to stop U.S. military action against it, or tariffs, or sanctions?”
Theoretically, a nation with a large population could take over the US in a few days or weeks. Just keep airdropping people, and sue the US if any are stopped. When enough arrive, have them vote to dissolve the United State government and annex with the host country.
IIRC, 1940 census records...just said alien or citizen.
I don’t doubt some lib judge will do it!
Praying for a Red Wave! I have voted.
Sure looks like Attempted Human Smuggling on behalf of the scumbag lawyers that filed this. ARREST and CHARGE them.
