The U.S. Is
Outsourcing Asylum to Guatemala,
Here's Why That's Dangerous
Video The New York Times 13 March 2020
Instead of a
court hearing,
the Trump
administration
is giving Central Americans a chance to seek asylum — in
Guatemala.

Why I Quit My
Job Carrying Out Trump’s Immigration Policies
Video The New York Times 20 November 2019
A former
asylum officer says “remain in Mexico”
and other
policies undermining asylum aren’t just racist,
they’re
illegal.
In the Video Op-Ed above,
a former
asylum officer reveals why he resigned:
to protest
President Trump’s
policy
requiring migrants to remain in Mexico
while awaiting
hearings.
Doug Stephens
had been an
asylum officer for two years.
But two days
and five interviews
that resulted
in sending asylum seekers
back to danger
shook him.
He drafted a
memo
detailing his
legal objections to the policy,
and circulated
it to 80 of his colleagues,
his
supervisors and a member of Congress.
And then he
quit.
Mr. Stephens
is not the only asylum officer
who has
grappled with following orders.
In interviews
with a half-dozen current
and former
asylum officers across the country,
The Times
learned of individuals leaving their posts,
requesting job
transfers and falling into deep depression.
The right to
asylum
has been a
cornerstone of international immigration law
since the 1951
United Nations Convention
Relating to
the Status of Refugees.
The United
States, along with 144 other nations,
made a
commitment to protect those who arrive at our borders
with “a
well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race,
religion,
nationality, membership
of a
particular social group or political opinion.”
To date, Mr.
Trump’s remain in Mexico policy,
officially
known as one of the “Migrant Protection Protocols,”
has left
nearly 58,000 asylum seekers stranded in Mexico.

Trump Is Building Tent Courts Along The Border.
Here's What
They Look Like.
Video Visual Investigations The New York Times 29 August 2019
Tent courthouses
are the administration’s latest move
in its “Remain in Mexico” policy,
forcing asylum seekers to wait
in one of Mexico’s
most dangerous states until their hearings.
We track the tents’ expansion
through satellite imagery
— and explain how they could make
the asylum process even
harder.
