President Donald Trump’s disparaging remarks about Mexicans, some of whom he referred to as “bad hombres” and "rapists,” were highlighted in a lawsuit by a group of more than a dozen states challenging his decision to end a program protecting so-called Dreamers from deportation.
The suit filed by attorneys general from 15 states plus the District of Columbia seeks to block Trump’s plan to roll back a program used by about 800,000 undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. About three quarters of the young people are Mexicans.
