Judge blocks deportation of Honduran boy in what could be first step in unraveling Trump admin. policy.
Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union arguing the case said the government is applying Title 42 too broadly in order to accomplish its own immigration policy goals.
In a court filing, they said,"the Administration's use of Title 42 is a transparent end-run around Congress's considered decision to provide protection to children and others fleeing danger even where communicable disease is a concern — and to address that concern through the use of testing and quarantines, not deportations."
Sullivan previously struck down then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions' asylum policies and recently appointed a retired judge to argue the case against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn after the Justice Department dropped its prosecution. But Sullivan may not be the judge who oversees the case of deported children during COVID-19 going forward. In his motion, filed late Tuesday, he said he would"contact the assigned judge" to"stress the importance of resolving this case."Julia Ainsley is a correspondent covering the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
