If you have an asylum case pending in immigration court right now, the government may be about to pull the rug out from under you. ⚖️ It’s called a motion to pretermit. An ICE attorney asks the judge to throw out your case before you ever tell your story, with no hearing and no chance to present evidence, and send you to a so-called safe third country under an asylum cooperative agreement. ✈️ Countries like Guatemala, Ecuador, or Uganda made deals with the United States to take asylum seekers in exchange for money. On paper it sounds orderly, but the reality can be dangerous and unstable. 🚨 Some of these countries face armed conflict, impose extreme penalties on LGBTQ+ individuals, or lack a functioning asylum system. In many cases, people are deported right back to the very country they fled. These motions can be filed at any stage of your case, and a judge may give you only days to respond. The government is often sloppy, and skilled attorneys are tearing these motions apart and winning. 📄 If this happens to you, call an asylum lawyer immediately. Every day matters. If you need help with an asylum case, send the word “CONSULT” in a direct message. ⏳
