How many States in the United States have sued Trump's "separation of flesh and blood" policy?

According to American media reports, prosecutors from 17 democratic states, including new york and California, launched a joint prosecution on the Trump administration's "separation of flesh and blood" policy at the border on 26th.

The lawsuit filed in the federal court in Seattle that day was the first legal lawsuit accepted by the Trump administration since it began to implement the "zero tolerance" and "separation of flesh and blood" policies.

The States participating in this class action lawsuit include New York, California, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington, D.C. ..

The Attorney General of New Jersey said in a statement, "The Trump administration's practice of separating families is ruthless, as simple as that. The Trump administration seems to be proposing discordant regulations every day, but we must not forget that the lives of those who exist are being threatened. "

According to the report, since the Trump administration began to implement the "separation of flesh and blood" policy at the border, immigration law enforcement officers have separated about 2,300 children from their parents, and many children and parents have been detained in different places thousands of miles apart.

Although Trump later signed an executive order to cancel the "separation of flesh and blood" policy, the Democratic Attorney General of this state 17 believes that those separated children have not been successfully "returned" to their parents.

According to the lawsuit, the Trump administration did not give these parents and children who fled the violence in Central America due legal procedures, that is, they were "autocratic" in implementing relevant policies.
