BREAKING: Our clients are being barred from presenting their non-refoulement (fear of MX) interviews at the border. Approx 30 @ImmDef @AlOtroLado_Org clients have been barred since noon. Our atty @CargioliM is taking over to report the latest updates #RestoreAsylumNow (THREAD)
Children and families who have survived multiple kidnapping attempts, those assaulted by MX police, families held at gunpoint - all NOT ALLOWED non-refoulement interviews for the last 5 hours @CargioliM
Among the vulnerable families we are presenting at the POE is a family with a 6 year old who were threatened by narcotics traffickers in Mexico. #SaveAsylum
These beautiful young girls were nearly kidnapped. Their parents fled Nicaragua due to participating in a peaceful march where their family member was killed.
There are 13 children waiting at the POE asking the U.S. government to remove them from harm. We have been waiting for hours. The U.S. government’s own policy states MPP Respondents who fear for their lives in Mexico may request a fear interview at a POE.
It is getting cold and dark without any answers from CBP. We have repeatedly asked to speak with a supervisor only to be told that one was coming. No supervisor has come out to speak with us.
On the day when many of us are casting our votes, remember those who have no voice. Among our group is a Cuban man who was detained in Cuba for expressing his political beliefs. #SaveAsylum
A CBP Supervisor came out and confirmed our clients who have been waiting for hours at the POE have a right to request a fear of Mexico interview. But he is not letting our clients into the U.S. to begin the interview process. #rightsmatter
