Cuccinelli has suggested that states invoke “war powers” to turn back the migrant “invasion” mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/2…
"They can literally just line their National Guard up with, presumably with riot gear like they would if they had a civil disturbance and turn people back at the border. ... You just point them back across the river and let them swim for it."
Cuccinelli also has a long, long record of anti-LGBTQ bigotry: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/2…
Cuccinelli could potentially affect the lives of numerous LGBTQ individuals in this position. The Human Rights Campaign has documented "the precarious position of transgender immigrants and asylum seekers" and how "the crisis at the border is an LGBTQ issue."
