KBI Media Report: May-June 2019

Our report this month includes news stories about the damaging effects of detention; the criminalization of humanitarian aid; and the journeys still ahead for released asylum seekers. Asylum Seekers in Detention: Though seeking asylum is a civil process, applicants often find themselves incarcerated in maximum-security, criminal-style prisons as they wait months or longer for their court dates.

The “Remain in Mexico” policy was piloted in the San Diego-Tijuana area in January 2019, and has since expanded to other border cities. Under this policy, some asylum seekers are being returned to Mexico for the duration of their asylum claims. The Remain in Mexico program has expanded rapidly since January, and over 10,000 migrants have currently been returned to Mexico. Its scope and numbers are likely to grow further.
