"We had hoped this would be a historic opportunity to undo the damage that had been done and to rebuild and reimagine a more just system for asylum seekers and in particular survivors of gender-based violence who had been particularly targeted and their rights eroded." 2/4
"Instead, the Biden administration has expanded the Remain in Mexico policy, and continued implementation of #Title42—illegally expelling Venezuelans to Colombia and returning individuals to their countries of origin, including Haiti, Guatemala, Honduras, and Brazil." 3/4
