The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order restricting some asylum seekers to traveling only with law enforcement officials, and directing state troopers to stop vehicles suspected of transporting migrants. The ACLU denounced the policy as illegal and inhumane and warned it will create the “perfect storm” for racial profiling. A federal judge earlier this week temporarily blocked the executive order — until next week, when another hearing is scheduled.
