Prevailing against unrelenting attacks on immigrants, our SD Cross-Border team secured humanitarian parole for a Venezuelan family of 5 fleeing political persecution. Their 6 yo son's medical conditions incl epilepsy left him immobile @NBCUTelemundo shared their story tonight 1/4
Meanwhile our clients are presenting at POE as we speak to be paroled in where their son can receive adequate medical care. In exactly one month deserving families like these will be barred from asylum under new regulations enacted this week by the Trump Administration. 2/4
ImmDef Managing Atty who represented the family, @CargioliM shared, "We have hope that the new Administration will strike down Trump’s callous immigration policies and allow families who merit asylum to have access to justice." 3/4
They are 1 of many who deserve protection under asylum law, but in 30 days others like them who have crossed through more than one country and/or fled persecution related to political opinion will be turned away. Tonight this boy is a little closer to justice thx to our SD team.
