The ACLU and other groups are again going to court to challenge the Trump administration, this time over its policy to bar detained asylum seekers from asking a judge to grant them bond.
Michael Tan, senior staff attorney with ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, said the policy unconstitutionally strips people of their right to a hearing.
Barr's ruling is scheduled to take effect in mid-July and comes amid a frustrating time for the administration as the number of border crossers has climbed sharply. Most are families from Central America who are fleeing violence and poverty. Many seek asylum. "We will continue fighting the administration's use of mass incarceration as a weapon to punish migrants," Realmuto said in a statement.
