Immigrant rights groups sued the Trump administration Thursday over its brazen decision to force asylum-seekers from Central American to wait on the Mexico side of the border as their cases proceed. The policy is a blatant attempt to make it even harder for the desperate to exercise their legal rights to ask for protection from persecution in their home countries, and there doesn’t seem to be language in immigration law (unless you follow the government’s convoluted reading) that allows the government to make applicants wait in another country.
