Today @POTUS and @SecMayorkas issued their guidance to reimplement (and expand!!!) the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) - a deadly program that violates the human rights of asylum-seekers every day it exists. Aš§µon what this means and how it's really really bad.
ā Out of 60,000 people, our client Jose is one of 15 in #MPP history who now walks free on bond.
Our CBI (bit.ly/2E7H10O) Managing Attorney @CargioliM and @ImmFamTogether worked hard to secure Jose's entry into the U.S.

She is one out of 50k. Since Jan 2019, more than 50k asylum-seekers have been forced into the streets of dangerous border cities as part of the #migrantpersecutionprotocols. She is just one of the 50k desperate for help as they face a system completely stacked against them. 
Yesterday she and her mom attended our clinic in Mexicali where we filled out their asylum applications so they have something to file when they return to court. ImmDef's Cross-Border Initiative is a lifeline giving families like hers a fighting chance at safety and protection.
Under the #migrantpersecutionprotocols, border courts are overwhelmed. Since Jan, cities like San Diego have seen new cases jump from ~200 to more than 2,000 a month. Judges lacking judicial independence are under pressure to violate due process in order to keep their jobs.
