A mother and her two young children are fighting for their release from a Texas immigration detention centre, in what is believed to be the first lawsuit involving children to challenge the Trump administration's policy on immigrant arrests at courthouses.
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, argues that the family's arrests violate their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizure, and their Fifth Amendment right to due process. This challenge comes despite the family having entered the US legally after fleeing Honduras, utilising a Biden-era appointment application.
