Asylum approval rates just hit a record low, and fear is keeping people out of court

Asylum approval rates just hit a record low, and fear is keeping people out of court. 📉 A report from the Los Angeles Times found that fewer than 3% of asylum cases decided in January were approved, while no-shows have surged nationwide. When immigrants miss court out of fear, judges issue deportation orders by default. ⚖️ The administration of Donald Trump has reopened old cases, narrowed protections through the Board of Immigration Appeals, and created a system designed to overwhelm people. Stephen Miller says no one crossing the border qualifies for asylum, but that is not what the law says. People are still winning asylum every day, and protection is still possible. 🔥 Stay strong and keep fighting for your future.
