In another blow to the Trump administration’s policies on immigration, a federal court on Monday blocked the systematic detention of migrants who have shown credible evidence that they were fleeing persecution in their home countries.
In a sharply worded ruling, Judge James Boasberg of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia found that the government’s own directive calling for asylum applicants to be freed when appropriate while their cases are pending “has been honored more in the breach than the observance.”
At issue is the right of those seeking shelter in the United States to be released while their applications for asylum are making their way through the courts, a process that can take years. While the government is entitled to hold them in detention, a 2009 directive provides that those who have shown what is known as a “credible fear” in an initial interview have a right to be considered for release.
In a court challenge, lawyers for nine plaintiffs who had been held in detention presented evidence that parole rates under the Trump administration have plummeted more than 90 percent to “nearly zero,” a shift they attributed to the government’s new “zero-tolerance” policy on immigration and an attempt to deter would-be asylum seekers from traveling to the United States and making a claim.
Judge Boasberg said the government denied that it had any blanket policy of denying release to asylum applicants, but failed to rebut the plaintiffs’ figures demonstrating the steep drop in releases since Mr. Trump took office. Court Blocks Trump Administration From Blanket Detention of Asylum Seekers
Now the INHUMAN MONSTER Trump just needs to be charged and imprisoned for "Crimes Against Humanity"!
Directives are not laws and need only be administratively changed.
Quote:
Directive. A written issuance which serves to direct, guide, and/or generally impel a person or unit toward an action, attainment, or goal; a pronouncement urging, requiring, or prohibiting some action or conduct. (See related definitions for External Directives and Internal Directive)

Why shouldn't asylum seekers be detained? We don't know who they are. No background check has been completed. No medical evaluation done. There are a good many reasons why they should be detained.
meh...this has been gong on since 2009...by the OPs own link....
Let me translate this:
trump won and I'm so mad....I have no clue what o do....Obama did and I just did not give a crap at that time.....but trump won....trump won...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And gotta love this little gem...

A gang that supported the official attacked him in 2014, breaking several bones and setting his motorcycle ablaze. It also threatened to kill him.
On arrival at the border in Southern California, Mr. Damus presented himself to immigration authorities and requested asylum. He passed his credible fear interview in December 2016, and in April 2017 was granted asylum by a judge. Despite that, he has remained behind bars while the government appeals his case.
So, in 2014 this guy was attacked and he waited until December of 2016 (who was president in 2016?) for his interview?
DAMN PRESIDENT TRUMP....all his fault....
