Attorneys ask federal judge to rule against U.S. policy of turning back asylum seekers

Published

According to this article on The San Diego Union-Tribune, by KATE MORRISSEY

“A federal judge in San Diego may soon rule whether the United States is required by law to process asylum seekers when they come to ports of entry.

The case, first filed more than 4 years ago, challenges a practice that turns asylum seekers back to Mexico when they try to request protection at ports of entry along the southwest border. The policy began under the Obama administration at the San Ysidro Port of Entry before expanding to the entire border in November 2016. It was amplified under former President Donald Trump.

In a hearing Tuesday, attorneys representing asylum seekers and Al Otro Lado, a legal services organization that supports migrants in Tijuana, argued that the turnback policy is unlawful and should be permanently blocked. Attorneys from the Department of Justice argued that the policy doesn’t exist, that it is ending soon and that federal agencies can delay doing what they are legally required to do.”

According to this article on Associated Press, by STEPHEN GROVES

“WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans for months have railed against the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. border with Mexico, holding hearings, visiting border communities and promising to advance legislation to clamp down on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

But so far, they have failed to unify behind a plan, delaying efforts to pass legislation.

Now they are hoping to change that. Republicans on Wednesday jump-started work on an immigration and border enforcement package that would remake immigration law to make it more difficult to apply for asylum and easier for the federal government to stop migrants from entering the U.S. It combines proposals from a number of conservative hardliners into a single bill.”

According to this article on Politico, by Myah Ward

“President Joe Biden’s immigration problem isn’t just about policy. It’s that he’s not talking about the issue enough, voters say in a new survey from a Democratic polling firm.

Fifty-eight percent of voters in seven key Electoral College battleground states disapprove of how the president is handling immigration, compared with 32 percent who approve, according to a new swing-state poll from Global Strategy Group first shared with POLITICO. And a majority of voters surveyed, at 52 percent, believe Biden is ignoring problems at the border, while 50 percent said the president is ignoring the situation around undocumented immigrants.”
