Asylum-seekers and kids in court are Trump’s next deportation target
This is the moment for politicians to defend asylum and finally engage with policies that create a safe and humane border arrivals system.
Source excerpt
On Tuesday, the Trump administration introduced a new rule that diverts people who are applying for asylum straight to deportation court.
The new rule, which is being billed as an “efficiency” and went into effect immediately, is an attempt to multiply deportations by plucking people who applied for asylum out of an administrative line and dumping them into mass deportation hearings without time to prepare their cases.
The U.S. humanitarian protection system is not just collapsing.
It is being systematically attacked from within by an administration that is willing to send people to be tortured in a foreign prison, detain children on a toxic former military base and end their legal representation and deport Iranian women to war zones while sharing their confidential case information on activists with the Iranian government.
