Biden's Department of Justice has withdrawn its plan to pay illegal immigrants $450,000 in compensation after having had their families separated at the border during the Trump administration. Fox News' Petere Doocy asked Deputy Press Sec. why the Biden administration is suspending that plan. "I would refer you to the DOJ," Jean-Pierre said.

Following President Biden's repeated denial that his government would give illegal immigrants separated under Trump up to $450,000, the DOJ has said once and for all that such a payout will never happen.
On Thursday, the DOJ sent out a message to the lawyers of those separated at the border that negotiations over a possible payout were off the table. The American Civil Liberties Union broke the story, taking to Twitter to voice its displeasure.

In October, rumors that the Biden administration would pay migrants hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation began floating around, leading to backlash from Republicans.

That's a shame, I was hoping they would do it so the 2022 slaughter would be even worse than it is going to be.

We can say they had to be forced by exposure from being co-conspirators in the theft of millions of dollars in hard-earned American taxpayer money.

There's no "theft" here, these people have a claim for damages that any court of law would at least take seriously.

Seriously.... at some point, the GOP needs to keep giving them rope, sharp things and loaded guns to play with.

No they don't, they have a claim of being illegal and need to be deported. Dropped off on the other side of the Mexican border by the truck load.

No one here, including Luk, is anti-American, SpazBot2k. Why do have to go so far off the rails instead of acting like an adult human being?

The alleged claim just got canceled.

In fact, I don't think they even have standing to sue in federal court.

The claim still exists -- its existence did not depend on the DOJ's rumored plans to pay it.

The migrants do have that standing.

The migrants do have that standing.

The Supreme Court of the United States has long held that lawfully admitted resident aliens have the same right to sue for personal injury as U.S. citizens, because they have the same rights as U.S. citizens under the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution.

“It has long been settled … that the term ‘person’ … encompasses lawfully admitted resident aliens as well as citizens of the United States and entitles both citizens and aliens to the equal protection of the laws of the State in which they reside.” In reaching its decision, the Supreme Court observed that like citizens, aliens: (1) pay taxes; (2) may be called into the armed forces; (3) may live within a state for many years; (4) work in the state; and, (5) contribute to the economic growth of the state."

"Although United States Supreme Court has never addressed the question of whether an undocumented immigrant may sue for personal injuries, and different states have reached different conclusions on this issue, Virginia has answered the question in the affirmative."

That from a leading law firm in the field, so, to my eyes it isn't settled law, yet.

In those terms, it's hard to imagine any argument to the contrary -- "person" necessarily would include illegal immigrants.
