The Tahirih Justice Center strongly opposes an interim final rule being issued by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, which will bar asylum for everyone approaching the southern border, with few exceptions. The rule will be applied at the screening stage at the border as well as in immigration courts. Families, unaccompanied children, survivors of violence – all will be prohibited from obtaining asylum.

Tahirih Chief of Policy Archi Pyati spoke with NBC News about the cruelty of the administration’s proposed fee on asylum seekers.

Tahirih is deeply concerned about the likelihood of new regulations pursuant to the presidential proclamation on April 29, which will make it nearly impossible for asylum seekers to access the rights to which they are entitled under international and domestic law.
