¡HUGE! news coming out of the immigration sphere today! AG Garland just overturned two devastating decisions made by ghouls, ahem, former AGs Sessions and Barr, that sought to restrict asylum even further by limiting the qualifications for protection.

The first decision, Matter of A-B, all but precluded domestic violence as a reason to seek asylum. The second decision, Matter of L-E-A, seriously limited asylum for people who were being persecuted because of their family associations.

So what does this mean exactly? It means that people fleeing domestic violence and persecuted families will now have the chance to seek protection under U.S. asylum law! This is going to make the difference between life or death for so many people fleeing danger.

Yes, this is a major step in the right direction of restoring asylum law, but the government must continue to roll back Trump era monstrosities like Title 42!
