Trump Asylum Policy Class Action

Casa Inc., individual asylum seekers, and the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project filed a proposed class action against Trump. The case apparently concerns Trump administration policies affecting asylum seekers, as indicated by a motion to add class representatives. These are allegations in a newly filed case and have not been proven.

Filed: January 21, 2025
Represents: Donald J. Trump, Secretary of the United States Department of State, Attorney General of the United States, Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security, Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, United States of America

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
