'No matter what they say, the goal is to send the message to immigrants that they should not come to the US and apply for asylum,' an ACLU attorney said.
The American Civil Liberties Union challenged in federal court Thursday a recent decision by Attorney General William Barr to deny bond hearings to certain asylum-seekers crossing the border without authorization, the latest standoff between advocates and the Trump administration.
The case spurred US Federal Judge Marsha Pechman in early April to rule that bond hearings in immigration court for detained asylum seekers should be held promptly. In the meantime, the ACLU, along with the other groups, are amending their original complaint, in an attempt to challenge Barr’s decision in court, citing due process violations.
“Through Attorney General Barr’s unilateral decision to eliminate bond hearings, the administration is once again breaking the law in its crusade to deter and prevent asylum seekers from requesting protection in the United States,” said Trina Realmuto, directing attorney of the American Immigration Council. “We will continue fighting the administration’s use of mass incarceration as a weapon to punish migrants.
