KBI and the NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice just released a joint-report entitled, ” Due Process Denied- CBP Abuses At the Border (October 2020-July 2021)” 

Excerpt: “The purpose of this report is to provide a snapshot of what occurs at the border and to press for external oversight to end CBP’s systemic culture of abuse of migrants. As members of Congress continue to push for increased funding for CBP as a response to asylum seekers arriving at the US-Mexico border, and the Biden Administration increasingly relies on CBP to do the work of asylum officers and trained Health and Human Services (HHS) employees, this report demonstrates that CBP is not the appropriate agency to channel migrants due process afforded them by asylum law, and rather is woefully inadequate is such a role.”
