❗BREAKING ❗: A federal judge has put an emergency stop to Trump’s latest attack on asylum seekers. IDP is proud to partner with @NIPNLG, @HLS_Immigration, and @sidleylaw to represent @PangeaLegal, @cliniclegal, @CAIRCoalition and @sfdeportdefense on this lawsuit!
Today’s decision puts a halt to Trump’s latest attempt to criminalize immigrants. Trump’s rule—which was set to go into effect tomorrow—would have imposed sweeping new bars to asylum based on broad categories of criminal offenses.
Under that Trump rule, an asylum officer or immigration judge could have categorically denied relief based on convictions that were vacated or expunged. Denials could also have been based on mere allegations of some criminal offenses, even without a conviction.
IDP is proud to stand against Trump’s hateful and xenophobic agenda. Together with our partners, we will continue to fight against the push to criminalize and deport our families, friends, loved ones, and community members.
