I know that case go to the District Court before anything else. So of course it would a District Judge hearing this case in District Court. Also, since when is going to a port of entry and requesting asylum a violation of our immigration law?
As for using the ACLU as a source, is it now frowned upon to use a primary source on this site? I mean they are the ones representing the plaintiff.

Why don't you ask our government that? Ms. L and her daughter arrived at a port of entry. That is a fact. So if the processing facilities are full why did they get detained in said facilities?

DHS does not have a blanket policy of separating families at the border. However, DHS does have a responsibility to protect all minors in our custody. This means DHS will separate adults and minors under certain circumstances. These circumstances include:
1) when DHS is unable to determine the familial relationship,
2) when DHS determines that a child may be at risk with the parent or legal guardian, or
3) when the parent or legal guardian is referred for criminal prosecution.
Familial Relationship – If there is reason to question the claimed familial relationship between an adult and child, it is not appropriate to detain adults and children together.
