Its complete bull#. Illegals sueing our gover ment.
Get the hell out of here.
So laws be damned , spoken like a true authoritarian, you don't get to pick and choose which laws are followed based on your feelings....
Just like lefties don't get to pick and choose who to impeach based on feelings.
The fact that they aren't U.S. citizens. Unless you are arguing that they aren't from central America, and are indeed legal U.S. citizens.

Logic cannot defeat it
It would appear that the woman and her daughter filed a lawsuit against the administration, through ACLU, but it would appear they were sent away before they could make an appearance in court. The Judge has threatened not only the Hobgoblin with contempt, but also HS Secretary Nielsen and other HS officials if they did not return the plaintiffs to court where they sought justice.
Are you seriously trying to tell me that NON American citizens are LEGAL American citizens???
The Fifth Amendment then says that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." This means that if someone seeks justice in our court of law and files a lawsuit in our courts, they are Constitutionally protected.

Only if they are citizens.
The Constitution provides no exception for illegals
Immigration restrictionists sometimes claim that noncitizens have no rights under the Constitution, and that the US government is therefore free to deal with them in whatever way it wants. At least as a general rule, this claim is simply false.
Noncitizens undeniably have a wide range of rights under the Constitution. Indeed, within the borders of the United States, they have most of the same rights as citizens do, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent bans most state laws discriminating against noncitizens. There is little if any serious controversy among experts over this matter.
Should a noncitizen be charged with a crime, he has exactly the same Fifth and Sixth Amendment procedural rights as a citizen, including the right to a jury trial, the right to counsel, and protection against self-incrimination. If convicted, the Eighth Amendment prevents the government from subjecting aliens to “cruel and unusual punishment” in exactly the same ways as it does with citizens.
Not true!

Not only does the Constitution grant noncitizens most of the same rights as citizens, but longstanding Supreme Court precedent also forbids many state laws discriminating against aliens. In cases such as Bernal v. Fainter (1984), the court has ruled that laws discriminating on the basis of alienage are subject to “strict scrutiny” — that is, they will be struck down unless the government can prove that they are “narrowly tailored” to the promotion of a “compelling state interest.”

What makes you think this woman and her child are illegal. All the article says is that they're asylum seekers from El Salvador.
They were denied an asylum hearing based on Session's new rule eliminating domestic violence and gang violence victims from seeking asylum. The ACLU, with this woman as their client, is suing the DOJ because of that (arbitrary) rule change, which goes against our international refugee treaties and federal law that incorporated refugee/asylum procedure.
