.becky_gendelman, author of the new humanrights1st report, says the Biden administration's policy 'endangers lives, separates families, inflicts trauma, wastes resources, and punishes people for exercising their legal right to request asylum.'
The paper's author says the administration's policy"endangers lives, separates families, inflicts trauma, wastes resources, and punishes people for exercising their legal right to request asylum."The Biden administration has unnecessarily—and often unlawfully—jailed tens of thousands of asylum-seekers, many of whom have suffered"severe" physical and psychological abuse and discrimination, according to a report published Thursday.
"Jailing asylum-seekers is inhumane, unnecessary, and wasteful," the report states."Moreover, the mass detention of asylum-seekers violates U.S. legal obligations under the Refugee Convention and its Protocol. In its guidelines on the use of detention, the U.N. Refugee Agency states that 'asylum-seekers should not be detained' and that 'the use of detention is, in many instances, contrary to the norms and principles of international law.
The paper claims the Biden administration"is using flawed 'enforcement priorities' that continue the failed approach of past administrations by targeting people requesting protection in the United States" and jailing them for prolonged periods instead of"allowing them to pursue their cases while living safely with their U.S. families and communities."
An asylum-seeker from Benin said:"We came here to a country of law, but I found my brothers in tears... I don't know what to say. I did not expect this."
