Statement of Northern Border Shelters on US and Mexico Policy to Restrict Asylum

KBI Responds to Trump’s Proclamation and Calls for Protection of Dignity, Family and Binationality

As a binational and Catholic organization that works directly with migrants, we at the Kino Border Initiative strongly oppose President Trump’s decision to bar access to asylum for people apprehended between ports of entry. Through our binationality, we witness every day the potential of the US/Mexico border as a place of encounter and welcome.

Defending Asylum for Domestic Abuse Survivors

In the aftermath of Attorney General Sessions’ decision that domestic violence survivors will no longer be eligible for asylum in the U.S., the KBI joins the Center of Gender and Refugee Studies (CGRS) at U.C. Hastings to support these brave survivors in their pursuit of safety and protection. CGRS provided legal defense for the client in Matter of A-B, the ruling Sessions reversed last month, thereby overturning a hard-won precedent that affirmed domestic violence as grounds for asylum.
