The state of California is suing the government of illegitimate, popular-vote-losing, manifestly unfit president Donald Trump over a new rule allowing indefinite detention of migrant children and their families.
“The 19-state lawsuit, which is co-led by Massachusetts, was unveiled by Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra, who criticized the president for ignoring a court settlement agreement that limited detention of children to 20 days,” reports the the Los Angeles Times:
“No child deserves to be left in conditions inappropriate and harmful for their age,” Becerra said Monday. “We’re taking the Trump administration to court to protect children from the irreparable harm caused by unlawful and unnecessary detention. With our partners across the country, we will fight for the most vulnerable among us.”
As the state with the largest immigrant population in the country, including an estimated 2.2 million people in the U.S. illegally, California officials have repeatedly clashed with Trump over his crackdown on migrants, including those seeking asylum.
