.@luzenlafrontera, an atty who has been working with asylum seekers at the border for years, tells me the group includes 8 unaccompanied children, a single mom with 5 kids, and a single man. Says all of them run the risk of some type of violence if they remain in Tijuana.
Metering, limiting the number of people who can make asylum claims at border crossings, has been a growing concern for advocates. "At what point does that wait become an actual denial and how much of a wait time is considered acceptable" for those at risk asks @luzenlafrontera.
There are no government figures available on metering but a DHS inspector general report found that turning asylum seekers away and asking them to come back later pushes people to cross illegally. buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
Strauss Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently published a report that looked at metering strausscenter.org/images/MSI/Asy…
Atty Nicole Ramos, @luzenlafrontera, who is with the group of asylum seekers at the Otay Mesa port of entry, says the group is already on US ground and still being turned away because CBP says there's no room.
@luzenlafrontera Ramos said CBP has allowed 8 unaccompanied children as well Maria Meza and her 5 kids to request asylum. There's still 6 people waiting to be allowed in.
