Activists sue to keep 350,000 would-be illegal immigrants in U.S.
 
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 9, 2018

Immigrant-rights activists said Wednesday they’ve now sued to stop the Trump administration from canceling special protections for 57,000 Hondurans in the U.S. who would otherwise be illegal immigrants, adding them into an already ongoing lawsuit over some 260,000 others from El Salvador and Haiti.

The lawsuit is the latest test for the Trump administration over Temporary Protected Status, the humanitarian parole past administrations have doled out to protect people stuck in the U.S. while their home countries recover from major natural disasters, wars and epidemics.

Can't these 'activists' be prosecuted under RICO statutes? After all they are abetting illegal behavior.

Of course I know they cannot as it seems two thirds of the legal system is in cahoots with them.

Even assuming they were aiding and abetting breach of the immigration laws, that isn’t a predicate crime under RICO, so they wouldn’t be liable.

Then we can hire more welfare workers to dole out the checks.
