The Collapse of Asylum at the Border

Throughout 2019, the Trump administration implemented a series of dangerous, immoral, and illegal policies that severely restricted the right to seek asylum. These included returning vulnerable people to await their court dates in Mexico, the implementation of a transit ban, the development of expedited removal programs, and the signing of “safe third country agreements” with Central American nations.

Testimonies from MPP

The following testimonies are from families who came to the Comedor during the month of January.

Join Public Actions Against the Assault on Asylum

The violations against asylum-seekers are illegal and dangerous. By moving asylum-seekers further from the public eye—across the border in Mexico, in expedited removal proceedings, or in Central America—the administration is intending to make them invisible. A number of groups and events are organizing public witnesses in protest.
