No More Asylum

Over the past year, through a series of executive orders, asylum cases have all but halted. Asylum was a legal method of fleeing persecution and fear of life to find safe harbor in the United States. In the recent past, the process to gain asylum had been lengthy and grueling for most applicants with the vast majority of applicants being rejected but now it appears the doors have closed, altogether. In this episode of the The Raid, Maria Salguero an attorney from Immigrant Legal Defense Center specializing in asylum law, speaks candidly about the ever-changing landscape for asylum seekers and how many are now being barred from applying or detained and even deported.  https://www.sbimmigrantdefense.org/  https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
