@IACHumanRights 2) Undertaking an urgent mission to visit sites both in the U.S. and Mexico where migrants are being held, are being metered, or are being returned to wait in Mexico, as well as to attend judicial hearings and interview migrants and their lawyers;
@IACHumanRights 3) Issuing a statement reiterating the U.S.' obligations against non-refoulement of asylum seekers under international law and concuding that policies like "Remain in Mexico", metering, and asylum ban run afoul of those obligations.
@IACHumanRights 4) Prioritize the handling of cases brought by migrants when they indicate that they are being returned to a country where they face persecution or to a country where their due process rights will not be protected as they try to claim protection from persecution. #IACHRHearing
