There's evidence that the decision to change the policy to zero tolerance was to force family separations as a deterrent. Infants were separated from mothers. There was no effort made to track children and parents, causing officials to still be unable to connect hundreds of children with their parents nearly 3 years later. Family arriving and legally requesting asylum were illegally detained and separated. 

The above scenario would be accurate if the person committed a crime that we normally briefly detain and then give a court date for but instead locked them up. The child would normally be taken to social services for a relative to be contacted only being placed in foster care if one couldn't be found. In your scenario they would have to be placed in a juvenile center crammed with dozens of other children of all ages, to the point that there's no room. The court would then have to have made no record of the relationship between the the parent and child. The two would likely be in different states now too. There also would be other kids there whose parents entered a police station and asked for a place to live because of domestic violence at home but were instead arrested.

If all of that occurred, they absolutely could sue the government that did that. Because that's really shitty and what is likely to happen when one of your top immigration advisors is an open white supremacist who emails journalists and tells them to write about obscure white supremacist books about poop eating immigrant (all real).

Ok. So what gives the immigrants, who don't pay taxes and aren't legal citizens, the right to use tax payer funds to be detained and what gives them rights in a foreign country?
