    Show me the statute stating that asylum seekers need to be kept in open air detention with inadequate food, water, and hygiene.

      Cites to the statutes for detention on who and how long, as well as the 2018 Supreme Court decision I referred to, authorizing indefinite detention.

      The horrid conditions are factors of other statutes related to budgets and sovereign immunity. I’m sure I can point you to some of the civil lawsuits about conditions so you can trace back the Republican policy of cruelty as it permeated immigration law.

        Well, I’m sure you know the law better than the judge who ordered them to improve conditions.
