Lawsuit Background:
As thousands flee drug-fueled gang violence, misery and poverty in Central America, President Trump is waging war on the immigrant population and their constitutional right to seek asylum. Sending soldiers to border, Trump continues his campaign to militarize the border and brutalize immigrant families to score political points and enflame racist tendencies among his supporters.
Nexus Services, Inc. is petitioning a federal court to protect these individuals seeking asylum from Trump’s illegal policies and its draconian enforcement by the military and other armed federal agents, as well as gun-toting white-nationalist militias.
Mike Donovan, President of Nexus Services, said: “Federal law enables migrants to apply for asylum in the United States. President Trump and his administration have used ‘increased enforcement,’ like separating families and lengthening detention to violate migrant rights. Now, the President has sent soldiers to the southern border to stop legal immigration and legitimate asylum seekers. The President’s rhetoric has inspired gun-toting racists to flood the border with the desire to shoot and kill migrants, many of whom are women and children. The President is violating federal law, trampling the rights of Americans and legal immigrants to be free from use of the military for law enforcement, and has set up a potential catastrophe at the US/Mexico border all in the name of white nationalism and with the objective of scoring political points. At Nexus we love the good people we serve who come to this country for a better life, and will stand with them against the hate of the Trump White House.”
