SAN DIEGO 鈥 A federal judge ruled that the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 challenge to the Trump administration鈥檚 practice of forcibly separating asylum-seeking parents and young children can proceed.

The Trump administration argued that these asylum-seeking families had no constitutional right to remain together. The court squarely rejected that position stating that 鈥淪uch conduct, if true, as it is assumed to be on the present motion, is brutal, offensive, and fails to comport with traditional notions of fair play and decency.鈥

Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Immigrants鈥 Rights Project, had this reaction:

鈥淚n the most forceful language, the court rejected the Trump administration鈥檚 claim that the Constitution permits it to engage in the inhumane practice of tearing little children away from their parents.鈥

The motion for the nationwide preliminary injunction and class certification is pending.
