The restrictions of the Trump era make it more difficult for asylum seekers who have fled domestic or gang violence to obtain protection in the United States.

The Biden administration abolished Trump-era policies that made it difficult for asylum-seekers fleeing domestic or gang violence to obtain protection in the United States. This move was welcomed by immigration advocates and viewed it as an important step forward. step.

In a three-page legal opinion, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland stated on Wednesday that the broad language in the decision made during the administration of former President Donald Trump “may cause confusion and hinder asylum applications. Make a careful case-by-case ruling.”

Garland has issued a new policy that will make it easier for asylum seekers fleeing domestic and gang violence to win humanitarian protection cases.

Kate Melloy Goettel, director of litigation law at the U.S. Immigration Commission, said: “The importance of this matter cannot be overstated.” “This is the worst anti-asylum decision of the Trump era. One, this is a very important first step in revoking this decision.”

President Joe Biden promised to pursue a more “humane” immigration system than his predecessor, who formulated a series of anti-immigration policies, including Ban entry for citizens of several Muslim-majority countries Strict restrictions on the southern border with Mexico.

The Center for Gender and Refugee Research (CGRS) at the University of California, Hastings School of Law explained in a statement on Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Justice under Trump has issued a precedent decision that effectively “imposes Hit”.

The center stated that these restrictions have caused disproportionate harm to women, children, and LGBTQ+ people, as well as deporting people to the country from which they fled.

“These decisions are legally flawed and have brought unnecessary confusion to the decision-making process, causing judges to wrongly refuse protection by prejudging the case instead of fair consideration based on the facts of each case,” the statement said.

CGRS welcomed Garland’s statement, saying it “marked the great progress made by the Biden administration in rebuilding the asylum system”.

Garland also revoked a separate decision on Wednesday that restricted asylum applications based on persecution of family relations.

“Today’s statement will help eliminate some of the damage caused by the Trump administration’s attack on the asylum. Together with our colleagues, we call on the Biden administration to speed up and deepen their efforts in this regard,” a full-time lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Cody Wofsy said. The Immigration Rights Project also stated in the CGRS statement.

Immigration advocates urged Biden to take more steps to fulfil his promise to rebuild asylum in the United States, including stopping use Public health directives in the Trump era – Called during the COVID-19 pandemic – Allow most asylum seekers to be turned away without hearing their request.

But the President of the United States is facing increasing political pressure from Republicans and other critics because Record number of asylum seekers Arrived at the country’s border with Mexico to seek protection.

Biden promised to address the “root causes” of immigration, and he instructed Vice President Kamala Harris to curb immigration.She visited Guatemala and Mexico this month Tell potential asylum seekers: “do not come.”

These remarks aroused widespread criticism from immigration advocates who stated that asylum is a right guaranteed by international law and urged the Biden administration to honor its promises that violated Trump’s policies.
