ACLU sues to stop Trump policy on jailing asylum seekers

SEATTLE (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union 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.
The American Civil Liberties Union, American Immigration Council and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project filed a class-action lawsuit over the policy in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Thursday.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced in mid-April that asylum seekers who have shown they have a credible fear of returning to their country and are facing removal don’t have the right to be released on bond by an immigration court judge while their cases are pending.
