Thomas Lee was quoted in the Daily News about Trump’s executive order regarding immigrants and refugees.
Thomas Lee, a constitutional law professor from Fordham School of Law, said in general, these refugees — even those who are already well along in the process of applying for asylum — will have a difficult time winning relief from the courts.
“People not in U.S. in refugee application, I think they have essentially no constitutional claims,” he said. “For the people outside looking in, it’s going to be very difficult making constitutional arguments.”
