Since January 2019, more than 50,000 asylum-seeking human beings have been forced back into Mexico under the Migrant Protection Protocols, that we refer to as Migrant Persecution Protocols (MPP). The cruel policy has forced thousands into the streets of notoriously dangerous border towns and overcrowded shelters with unsanitary conditions while they await their asylum hearings. ImmDef’s Cross Border Initiative team is fighting back every day against cruelty against migrants at the border with a focus on assisting children and families. Under both the Trump and Biden administrations, asylum seekers have been illegally and inhumanely barred from their right to seek asylum through the Title 42 policy. ImmDef fights to restore asylum and protect the rights of vulnerable asylum seekers.
