This is the loss of dignity and decency in the USA. Trump has now resorted to calling up closed immigration cases. I don't believe that is legal. A person in the USA seeking asylum is no different than a USA citizen for the period of time the legal case hangs in the balance. Once the case is closed and the people are allowed their asylum there is no doubt they have the same rights to a peaceful and productive life as any American.
In order to satisfy his base, Trump now assaults immigrants with closed cases and stable lives. These people have long established a home, source of income in work and children garnering an education that serves the country as witnessed with "The Dreamers." Trump is an ignorant oaf that has no cultural significance to society and removes all the characteristics of decency.

In recent months, immigrants have been arrested while delivering a pizza or watering the lawn....
