人兽性交: Our Fight Against the Trump Administration鈥檚 War on Asylum Continues

WASHINGTON, D.C. 鈥 The Southern Poverty Law Center (人兽性交) issued the following statement by Melissa Crow, senior supervising attorney with the 人兽性交鈥檚 Immigrant Justice Project, about the U.S. Supreme Court鈥檚 ruling allowing the 鈥淩emain in Mexico鈥 policy to remain in effect pending the filing and disposition of a petition for review by the Supreme Court. Late last month, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court鈥檚 decision holding that the policy is illegal.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 ruling does not deter us in the least. We will continue to fight this clearly illegal and unconscionable policy and the myriad of other policies this administration has implemented to eviscerate the legal rights of people seeking asylum.

鈥淭ens of thousands of vulnerable migrants from all over the world have been trapped under desperate conditions in Mexico for the duration of their removal proceedings. We must restore the rule of law.鈥

Background:

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies filed a lawsuit, Innovation Law Lab v. Wolf, challenging the 鈥淩emain in Mexico鈥 policy.
