Asylum Under Attack – Restrictions on Asylum at the Border and Beyond

Topics:
  • Immigration Policy
  • Political asylum

Asylum seekers are facing unprecedented hurdles to presenting their claims in the United States. This training will begin with an update from Luis Guerra, a Strategic Capacity Officer for CLINIC who has been working with asylum seekers in Tijuana with Al Otro Lado. We will then discuss efforts by the administration to restrict access to asylum, as well as litigation challenging these restrictions. This webinar will not be recorded, so be sure to join CLINIC live.

Topics:

  • The November 2018 presidential proclamation to restrict asylum to those who enter the United States at ports of entry and updates on  East Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Trump
  • “Remain in Mexico” and updates on Innovation Law Lab v. Nielsen
  • “Firm Resettlement” issues in asylum law
  • Special considerations for advocates volunteering in Mexico
