(via CLINIC): It is important to send your comments to the Biden administration so they hear in detail about how this rule will harm people seeking asylum at the southern border and how the narrow exceptions it allows for are not enough. Under the proposed rule, individuals will be required to seek asylum in transit countries, some of which have substandard asylum systems and where asylum seekers could face further harm or persecution. The proposed rule violates both domestic and international law.
Please remember each comment must include unique information and circumstances so the government considers and counts each comment.
