Since taking office, the Trump administration has enacted policy after policy aimed at eviscerating the legal rights of people seeking asylum and creating the harshest conditions possible for them, with the stated goal of deterring others through the suffering of migrants who have already made the journey. This war on asylum-seekers has created a humanitarian crisis with tens of thousands of vulnerable migrants – fleeing violence and persecution – trapped in Mexico living in dangerous and often squalid conditions. By sabotaging the asylum system, President Trump has made a mockery of the United States’ international reputation as a country that respects human rights and the rule of law. This cannot and must not stand.
