The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other immigrant advocacy organizations have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over its recent executive action cracking down on asylum seeking at the southern border. They did so on behalf of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center and the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services.

The complaint was filed in a federal court in Washington D.C., with attorneys arguing that the decision violates a Congress' statute allowing migrants to request asylum regardless of whether they get to the country through a port of entry.
