For asylum seekers and refugees forced to remain in Mexico as their programs to enter the U. S. entry procedural limbo, their lives are reduced to political and legal ping-pong balls, coming and going from the new (incomplete) border wall with each and every court ruling or executive order of the Trump administration.
On Monday, October 19, the U. S. Supreme Court agreed to review the Trump administration’s “Stay in Mexico” policy, officially known as the “Migrant Protection Protocols,” which calls for migrants to return to Mexico to end their wiretaps at the U. S. Immigration Department. Court. Typical of the Supreme Court, with its calfinishar already complete until the end of the year, there is no announcement that you would hear the case, only a directory of orders. The case will not be heard until 2021.
Trump’s leadership had asked the High Court to interfere in reducing the court rulings against him.
If Joe Biden wins the presidential election and cancels Donald Trump’s policy, the case would generally be debatable, as the new administration would likely put in place new policy procedures for asylum seekers on the southern U. S. border.
Introduced in January 2019, Trump’s policy has a key pillar of the administration’s terrible reaction to the administration’s unprecedented wave of asylum seeker families arriving at the border, which led to a strong complaint about keeping families waiting in inhumane housing situations in harmful Mexican cities.
“In recent months, migrants and asylum seekers have told us about the horrific situations of detention: that they are denied medicines, food and water, other people who get sick, abuse, abuse psychologically . . . they were talking about a nightmare of detention,” said Fernando Garcia, founder and ceo of the Border Network for Human Rights in July 2019.
“Last week, at least 4 refugees were killed in Juarez. We have also learned that a circle of refugees from the relatives we helped from Honduras, a mother specifically, has survived an attempt to kidnap her and her children; are being sent to some other nightmare, ” he said.
To date, there are a total of 1246164 cases pending in US immigration courts. But it’s not the first time For asylum seekers, refugees and migrants, an increase of more than 200,000 from 2019.
Since its implementation, the policy has faced public and legal lawsuits related to its indecency and inconsistency with “American values. “
The U. S. Court of Appeals has not been able to do so. But it’s not the first time For the Ninth Circuit he blocked the Trump administration’s policy in two states, Arizona and California, in March 2020 and upheld a decreasing court decision that politics violated the law; however, there is some confusion about the component of judges who were unsure of the scope of their precautionary measure, since the legal factor surrounding politics “is a matter of intense and active controversy”.
The written ruling marked the number of statements by anonymous asylum seekers detailing their difficulties and fears of returning to Mexico.
“Several enrollees have described violence and threats of violence in Mexico. Much of the violence went against those enrolled because they were not Mexicans, that is, because of their nationality, a flat under the Asylum Act,” the appeals court wrote.
The court also reported that when asylum seekers were questioned through Department of Homeland Security officials, officials once asked if they feared returning to Mexico.
Gregory Doe wrote, “The officer never asked me if I was afraid of being in Mexico or if something serious had happened to me here [in Mexico]. “
The trump administration’s policy blockade through the ninth circuit court of appeals brief, as the administration appealed without delay to the U. S. Supreme Court, which then allowed the questionable policy to continue as the case continued with its legal appeals.
More than 60,000 asylum seekers have been returned to Mexico under this policy, and the Department of Justice estimated in February this year that another 25,000 people were still awaiting a hearing at the U. S. court in Mexico.
All hearings suspended after the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s been more than a year since a federal district oversteerned the administration’s illegal policy of forcing asylum seekers to wait in Mexico,” said CGRA Legal Director Blaine Bookey.
“However, thousands of families remain stranded in dangerous conditions, where many have faced brutal violence and homelessness. We will continue the struggle to end this cruelty once and for all.
