HAPPENING NOW: We are at the San Ysidro/TJ POE with @ImmDef where our clients, including 13 children, are being denied the fear interviews that would make them exempt from #MPP aka Remain in Mexico Policy. Our team has been here since 12pm advocating on behalf of these families.
@ImmDef Current #MPP policy states an asylum seeker must prove they face imminent danger in MX via non-refoulement interview (NRI), in order not to be returned to MX. An asylum seeker can request an NRI at any time. CBP is denying clients their right to an NRI and only hope for safety.
These children and families have survived several kidnappings, been assaulted by MX police and held at gunpoint. By the government’s own policy, these families DO NOT belong in MX, and yet CBP is telling us they’ve been instructed not to let anyone. #restoreasylumnow
People like @DHS_Wolf @CBPMarkMorgan refuse to acknowledge the documented cruelty + danger thousands have been subject to under #MPP instead praising it as successful + necessary for U.S. safety. Tell us how denying these children + family their right to asylum making us safer?
Thank you to our incredible friends @ImmDef who have been out here with us advocating on behalf of children and families as well. We will stay out here as long as we can, but soon shelters in MX will stop accepting folks and we don’t want our clients to miss that cut off.
