Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I don't believe a word about him sharing the money with anybody until he does it.
Obviously Trump will fight this, so an apology won't happen and no chance deporting policy will change willingly.
My question is if he will be able to afford the lawsuit for as long as it will be drawn out. It is a pretty risky gamble that he will be able to win and get the lawyers paid off the money awarded. There will be lawyers that will take it pro-bono or on contingency, but are they good enough to win against the government?
This kind of pro bono work could skyrocket a young, talented, obscure lawyer's career!
That is the last type of lawyer you want for this case. You want a firm filled with experienced jaded amoral sociopaths that just want to get the win.
Just because I'm curious, is the fact that this is a "risky gamble" concerning to you? Or that a lawsuit such as this is expected to be drawn out, likely putting a large deterrent on less affluent victims from seeking justice?
Both. If he loses, it can set precedent that would negatively impact others who wish to seek similar lawsuits, even if they have a stronger case.
Anyone wanting to go to court with the administration over deportation issues should expect it to be a drawn out and costly affair that has a considerable chance of failure. They want to set an example to discourage similar suits.
They way to actually win would be a class action and to settle in for years of judicial process, but you would have to have deep pockets funding that.
