NY Governor Cuomo's Lawsuit Against Trump Could Be Our Only Hope..

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Tuesday that he will launch a multi-agency lawsuit against the Trump administration for its separations of families at the border, citing the infringement of the constitutional rights of the children and families.

“The Trump Administration’s policy to tear apart families is a moral failing and a human tragedy,” he said. “We will not tolerate the constitutional rights of children and their parents being violated by our federal government. New York will act and file suit to end this callous and deliberate attack on immigrant communities, and end this heartless policy once and for all.”

It might take some time, but if it gets to the Supreme Court, and if the Supreme Court rules this is "illegal" then Trump must return the children to their parents.

3. Turd is trafficking children to many states; every one of them needs to file another suit.

And every blue state needs to investigate any other crimes Turd has been committing in their states and prosecute accordingly. Bury Turd under an ever-increasing pile of prosecutions and lawsuits.
