KQED News–
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Thursday that he will join nine other states suing the Trump administration over its “cruel and unlawful policy of forcibly separating children from their parents without any legitimate justification.”
The lawsuit, which is still being crafted, will seek to create a process for reunifying more than 2,300 children who have already been taken from their parents, Becerra stated. It will challenge the underlying policy of separating children from their families as a violation of children’s due process rights.
That policy was halted Wednesday by President Trump, who issued an executive order instructing immigration officials to continue to criminally prosecute anyone who crosses the border illegally but to keep families together in detention.
