“Massacre” at the BIA Portends Bigger Changes at #EOIR The BIA mass firings are only the beginning. It seems the Trump Administration plans to radically re-make the Immigration Courts and dramatically reduce due process protections for non-citizens. asylumist.com/2025/02/26/mas…
Ice Raids: Ambition Meets Reality Now that he is in office, President Trump's pledge to deport "millions" of non-citizens is colliding with reality, and it appears that the new Administration is falling short of its goals–at least for the time being. asylumist.com/2025/02/19/ice…
If #TPS Is Cancelled, Could #asylum Be an Option? For Venezuelans and people from other countries who may lose Temporary Protected Status, what are the options? asylumist.com/2025/02/05/if-…
Are Asylum Seekers Safe from ICE? There are probably 4+ million #asylum seekers in the USA. These are people who filed an application for asylum with the Asylum Office or Immigration Court. Are such people safe from detention and deportation by ICE? asylumist.com/2025/01/29/are…
