SEIU Sues Trump

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration over the revocation of security clearances for at least 80 immigrant workers at U.S. airports.
The lawsuit alleges the revocation reflects an anti-immigrant agenda and violates workers’ due process rights.
The affected workers include individuals with valid work authorization, such as Temporary Protected Status holders.
Critics argue the policy is discriminatory and undermines public safety.
The case is pending in federal court, with updates expected in the coming weeks.

Labor unions and others criticize the changes as exploitative and harmful to fair wages for U.S. workers.
Detained immigrants filed a significant number of habeas corpus challenges against immigration enforcement.
