Have the elf or the orangeman or any of their minions ever cited the particular law?

that the are interpreting in this ungodly manner?

1. Of course not...

there is a law that specified removing children from violent offenders crossing the border, but they won't quote the actual statute involved because that would belie their point. They basically switched the enforcement policy to define anybody who shows up at the border as a "violent" offender and act accordingly.

It's typical fascist bullshit.

2. No, just the Apostle Paul.

Something about government laws must be kept if they are "godly" or some such nonsense. To answer your question-NO. Why? Because there is no such law.

3. There is no law. They just made that up. nt

4. They are in violation of the 14th Amendment due process clause

Yick Wo v. Hopkins



118 U.S. 356
Yick Wo v. Hopkins ()
Argued:
Decided: May 10, 1886
_

In a suit brought to this court from a State court which involves the constitutionality of ordinances made by a municipal corporation in the State, this court will, when necessary, put its own independent construction upon the ordinances.

A municipal ordinance to regulate the carrying on of public laundries within the limits of the municipality violates the provisions of the Constitution of the United States if it confers upon the municipal authorities arbitrary power, at their own will, and without regard to discretion in the legal sense of the term, to give or withhold consent as to persons or places, without regard to the competency of the persons applying, or the propriety of the place selected, for the carrying on of the business.

An administration of a[n] ... ordinance ...violates the provisions of the Constitution of the United States if it makes arbitrary and unjust discriminations, founded on differences of race between persons otherwise in similar circumstances.

and

The guarantees of protection contained in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution extend to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, without regard to differences of race, of color, or of nationality.[/i]

their policy constitutes an arbitrary change from the prior law.
