Last week, the Supreme Court decided to allow the government to enforce a Trump Administration rule barring most people from eligibility for asylum. Watch the Immigration Justice Campaign’s webinar to learn about the impacts of this decision, other policies harming asylum seekers, and how you can help.
Only 14% of detained immigrants have an attorney. We are mobilizing attorneys nationwide to stand alongside immigrants in court. Watch our introduction video here.
“My client is a gay man who was persecuted in his home country because of his sexuality. He was beaten repeatedly, but the police did nothing. The government in his country implicitly condones violence against gay men so he had no legal recourse. Then, his partner was murdered. Fearing for his life, my client escaped to the United States.”
