American citizens are suing President Trump’s administration .. What is the story?
The lawsuit submitted to reactivate the conditional humanitarian release programs, which allowed 875,000 migrants from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Nicarajoa and Venezuela, and had pastors of legal residents in the United States.
Trump administration prosecute
President Donald Trump ended the legal paths of migrants to enter the United States, and implement his electoral promises to deport millions of people in the country illegally.
The prosecutor’s list includes eight migrants who entered the United States legally before the Trump administration ended what it described as a “extensive abuse” of the conditional human release.
They can remain legally in the United States until the end of the release period, but the administration has stopped addressing their requests for asylum, visas and other requests that may allow them to stay longer.
Conditional human release
“The Trump administration is trying to attack the conditional humanitarian release in all aspects,” said Esther Song, a lawyer of the Justice Work Center, who filed the lawsuit with the Human Rights Organization.
She added: “The main goal, above all, is to defend the conditional human release. These operations were very very successful,” she added.
The U.S. Justice and Internal Security Ministries in the United States did not immediately respond to suspension requests.
Immigration to America
The authority to release began in 1952 and was used by both Republican and Democratic presidents to allow people who cannot use traditional legal methods of migration, due to limited time or due to the lack of diplomatic relations between their government and the United States.
Under the release, immigrants reach “urgent humanitarian reasons or for a great public.”
They are allowed to work during their endeavor to obtain another legal way to stay in the country, and Trump ordered the end of “Codeing Release Programs” on the day he returned to his position.
