We cannot emphasize enough how this is a fiasco of Trump's own creation.
He's understaffed ports of entry, slowed down asylum, outsourced the list to Mexico (making migrants themselves watch over it), & then punishes those who don't play by his rules.

This is an unlawful assault on the most vulnerable among us, who've trekked hundreds of miles to reach safety.
It's particularly harmful to those most endangered by a long wait in Mexico—women, children, & LGBTQ migrants like those we've been supporting.

We're grateful to @HoganLovells for leading the charge and proud to stand alongside @CAIRCoalition.
These rules are immoral and illegal, and we're hopeful that our suit will stop it.
