A coalition of immigrants' advocacy organizations and individual refugees have sued the Trump administration in order to prevent enforcement of President Trump's Proclamation 10888. This proclamation prohibits non-citizens from seeking asylum through the Immigration and Nationality Act, allowing asylum-seekers to be deported without due process and returned to countries where they may face violence and persecution. The plaintiffs argue that Proclamation 10888 violates the Immigration and Nationality Act's asylum statute, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act, and the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act by removing long-established pathways to asylum. The plaintiffs request that the court declare the proclamation unlawful and unenforceable.
