    July 05, 2017 4:00 PM


    An inmate is led out of his cell at San Quentin State Prison in San Quentin, California, Aug. 16, 2016. A group of 114 Iraqis held in detention in the U.S.
    and due to be deported argue that their forcible repatriation and threats they would face in their homeland would run counter an international treaty against torture.

    A new lawsuit brought by 114 Iraqi nationals, who are in detention and scheduled for imminent deportation from the United States, invokes the international treaty against torture - and could have far-reaching consequences for thousands of other foreign nationals.

The real problem is that the judge doesn't throw it and the lawyer who filed it out.
