In a head-scratching move, the migrant caravan has filed a preemptive lawsuit against President Trump and the United States government. The caravan is a long way away and they are already trying to tie up our court system.

According to The Daily Caller:

The U.S. border isn’t in sight, but twelve caravan migrants filed a lawsuit Thursday against President Donald Trump for supposed violation of their constitutional rights.

As Fox News reports, the lawsuit also names the Department of Homeland Security and cites Trump’s vow to send the illegals back where they came from with the backing of military force as a violation of the Fifth Amendment that states, “no person … shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

The 12 from Honduras allege in their lawsuit, filed in Washington’s U.S. District Court, that some aren’t aware of the “well-documented human rights crisis” that is affecting Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. The plaintiffs also say they have been denied access to the Administrative Procedure Act and the Declaratory Judgement Act.

The plaintiffs are particularly concerned about how Trump has affected public opinion by employing tactics of “fear and hysteria,” specifically suggesting there are MS-13 gang members and other criminal elements traveling with the caravan, Fox reports.

It seems as though the migrants have done this as a publicity stunt. They have not yet reached the United States rendering their case moot because they are not covered by U.S. law until they enter the country.
