Can't do much if the government refuses to pay. Who would enforce it?

Feel free to email the Justice Department with your suggestion that they take this to court and then refuse to pay out when they inevitably lose, then. I find it really fucking funny that you think the worst thing that could happen in this instance is that the US government loses some money, and not what would be brought to light during the proceedings... oh, and let's not forget the millions and millions of dollars for each of these 900+ cases going to court instead of being settled, lol. So much for avoiding expenses.

It's cool that you support US government agencies violating the rule of law with impunity. Big cuck energy.

The government has sovereign immunity, so it is doubtful the migrants can successfully sue.

You can sue government agencies, which is what has been done here. Please stop pretending you understand US law; if it could not be done, the over 900 lawsuits here would have already been thrown out.
They would not be negotiating settlements if the case could not be made.

Paying a bunch of foreign nationals that broke the law,

How many times does it have to be explained that they DID NOT break the law? People have the legal right to cross borders to seek asylum and the law is very clear on this subject.

Jesus, do any of you know fucking anything about the law?

Edit:

The Convention further stipulates that, subject to specific exceptions, refugees should not be penalized for their illegal entry or stay. This recognizes that the seeking of asylum can require refugees to breach immigration rules.
Prohibited penalties might include being charged with immigration or criminal offences relating to the seeking of asylum, or being arbitrarily detained purely on the basis of seeking asylum. Importantly, the Convention contains various safeguards against the expulsion of refugees. The principle of non-refoulement is so fundamental that no reservations or derogations may be made to it. It provides that no one shall expel or return (refouler) a refugee against his or her will, in any manner whatsoever, to a territory where he or she fears threats to life or freedom. Finally, the Convention lays down basic minimum standards for the treatment of refugees, without prejudice to States granting more favourable treatment. Such rights include access to the courts, to primary education, to work, and the provision for documentation, including a refugee travel document in passport form. Most States parties to the Convention issue this document, which has become as widely accepted as the former Nansen passport, an identity document for refugees devised by the first Commissioner for Refugees, Fridtjof Nansen, in 1922.

The Trump administration's policy violated US law, international law, and probably multiple treaties as well. They will get FUCKED in court, and the court costs alone will vastly outweigh these settlements.
