STOP ALL DEPORTATIONS TO CENTRAL AMERICA

We'll never know, but this number has to be an underestimate.

#Asylum is death penalty defense, and there is not a day since mid-2006 that I haven't felt the weight of that. I'll save the rest for my counselor.

Deportees are vulnerable to gang violence due to the social visibility caused by reappearing in their communities (often w/o family/friends) as well as perceived wealth after living in the U.S. Much of the responsibility for this violence is on us; it's past time we accepted it.

As noted here, the Obama administration was responsible for most of these cases in which deportees are *known* to have been killed. (The real # has to be many times more.) The Trump-era stories will come soon enough, but be sure that the liberals in your life know this history.

I am still processing the sense of responsibility I feel for the murder within days of his deportation of a client whose #asylum case I was unable to win. It's not rational, but it doesn't matter. He trusted me to save his life, and I couldn't.
