Immigrant advocates sued Thursday to preemptively block President Trumps threatened new round-up of thousands of undocumented families this weekend.
The White House insists the raids the same ones that Trump scrapped last month will target immigrant families that have already been given deportation orders.
But the ACLU says many of them have never had a day in court due to massive bureaucratic bungling.
The Trump administrations threats against immigrants run roughshod over basic fairness and due process, said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. We will fight to ensure no one faces this kind of peril without having their case considered in court.
The suit was filed in Manhattan federal court on behalf of refugees from Central Americans, many of whom say they have tried without success to get hearings.
It demands that anyone detained in the planned raids be granted a hearing with a judge before being deported.

Get real, will you!
Wake me up when it happens.
Sorry, but being someones advocate does not give you standing. Make the illegal immigrant (alien) that IS affected, bring the suit. Oh BTW, you'll need to come to the courthouse. Just ask the guys standing outside the building wearing the dark jackets with the letters I-C-E on them which courtroom to go to. Good luck.
Insane.
I think I read that these people already went through the system, were given orders to leave, but didn’t.
Exactly what happens when you give a weeks notice. Just great give your opposition every opportunity to mobilize and stop you. A cynic might be tempted to think its done on purpose.
First, the original effort was leaked in advance by whatshisname (since resigned). When it was disclosed, President Trump pivoted and gave congress two weeks to resolve the border crisis through legislation. President Trump did this so that down the road, he can use executive orders with the reason being that congress failed to act.
Pelosi didn't lift a finger for the entire period. So when the media makes a fuss, and I'm sure they'll end up with footage or photos (real or fake) of illegals getting deported, the President Trump will lay it at the feet of Pelosi and the democrats in the House.
The President got screwed by Ryan for two years, and now he has to play catch-up..and he's playing chess, not checkers.
I’m sure the ACLU searched high and low for a good Democrat-appointed district judge.
Exactly
It’s not a roundup of FAMILIES; it’s a roundup of CRIMINALS. The illegals who’ve kept their noses clean are not a target (yet).
Roundup planned for Sunday?
Has anyone thouoght this thru? All these illegals, most of whom are devout Catholics and Evangelicals will be in church. They will be sitting beside us non-illegals. The natural inclination is to protect those sitting beside you in worship.
Sunday? Really?
Almost 50 years ago, I recall "Advocates" and SJW Lawyers standing outside a Central Florida jail trying to get in to represent their "Clients". At the time there were about 50 illegals which were transported to the jail for interviews and processing after an enforcement sweep.
The ranking Deputy at the County Jail came out to tell the gathering of "Advocates" that all they had to do to gain entry was to provide the names of their clients...
To no one's surprise, the few names they came up with were not in the jail... I'm sure they may have been but since most were using false IDs, no names matched!
I'm certain that many have observed such BS over their careers!
Again, why haven’t we been doing this all along? What’s worse, whey haven’t we been raiding and putting some fines on businesses? Why just threaten to shut the border down and not do it? And wasn’t Mexico supposed to up its game or we were going to impose tariffs? Why just sign a ‘money magnate’ bill and at not really do anything else?
I speculate that most of these under court order, who have been in the US many years now as the court process is slow, they are Mexicans and Asians more than Central Americans.
They break our law coming in illegally then want to use our laws to sue us.
It wouldn’t matter to the Dims if he were McCain or Romney. They ALWAYS go Hammer and Tong against the Republicans.
POTUS is building the wall - in portions.
“The only thing I can think of is Trump made this announcement so the Dems would block it in court.”
Trump makes these announcements for the base. No other reason to make this announcement.
every month he plays political games brings in another 100,000.
It’s not about money. Trump LIKES to tweet and keep his base in the loop. Unfortunately these tweets often tip off the enemy.
They’re going to do it anyway. May as well get it over with. Meanwhile, ICE is planning the eventual massive operations, marshaling resources, ferreting out illegals and keeping them under surveillance. Seeing if they flee and where. Make them feel safe before they lower the boom.
Illegal aliens aren’t doing diddly squat.
The all knowing all seeing Leftists are carrying the water.
