    Remain in Mexico has a 0.1% asylum grant rate

    Data show that, as of September, of the more than 47,000 people in the program, fewer than 10,000 had completed their cases.

    Of that group, 5,085 cases were denied while 4,471 cases were dismissed without a decision being made — mostly on procedural grounds.


    Only 11 cases — or 0.1% of all completed cases — resulted in asylum being granted, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

    That 0.1% grant rate is significantly lower than the 20% who were granted asylum outside of the Remain in Mexico process

    “The situation has had severe impacts on U.S. border security and immigration operations,” the announcement read.

    “The dramatic increase in illegal migration, including unprecedented number of families and fraudulent asylum claims is making it harder for the U.S. to devote appropriate resources to individuals who are legitimately fleeing persecution.”

    each one do enting an increasing number of migrants being robbed, beaten, kidnapped and raped south of the border.

    The latest report, published Thursday, identified 636 reported cases of kidnapping, torture and other violent attacks on asylum seekers who were part of the Remain in Mexico program. That figure includes 138 cases of kidnapping or attempted kidnapping of children.

    “There are people who just cannot take it anymore,” he said. “They would rather die at home than die in a foreign country where their families won’t be able to come for their remains and give them a proper burial.”

    Remember these kidnapped and torture victims?

    Hungry, very cold, and no contact with parents.

    Merry Christmas to our caged children






    According to Donald Trump, the poor conditions and the family separations serve as a “deterrent” for others seeking asylum here. Child torture is a feature of his plan, not a bug:

    When you prosecute the parents for coming in illegally, which should happen, you have to take the children away.
    -Donald Trump, June 19, 2018

    Under Trump, Jeff Sessions and Stephen Miller were allowed to completely rewrite our immigration policy. Now,

    anyone who seeks asylum is immediately regarded as a criminal and

    treated as such before the asylum claim can be evaluated.

    No exceptions are allowed,

    Children and even babies were ripped from their parents and crammed in caged holding cells.

    Right now, there are thousands of families behind bars, and hundreds of children are still languishing in for-profit concentration camps.

    as one non-profit director,
    Hope M. Frye, testified before Congress:

    “Some children were too traumatized to even interact with us.

    Children who were lucid enough to interact with us were glad to see us.

    They were grateful for the opportunity to sit in an office which was warmer than their cages,

    to sit on a chair not on a concrete floor.


    The children we saw were filthy wearing the same wet and mud stained clothes in which they traveled.

    Many were covered in mucus and vomit.

    Babies had soiled diapers.”

    House Democrats now probing whistleblower's allegations of horrific medical care at ICE facilities

    House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is now investigating

    allegations made by a whistleblower in a Department of Homeland Security memo

    detailing medical care at Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities that was

    so substandard that it contributed to numerous deaths in custody and other horrors.


    According to the report, most, if not all, of these incidents were the result of

    gross negligence on behalf the ICE personnel and medical professionals tasked with caring for detainees,”

    “at least 17 complaints of inadequate medical treatment or oversight at nine different ICE facilities,

    resulting in two preventable surgeries and contributing to four deaths. …

    Specific examples of inadequate care include:

    An eight-year-old boy who had part of his forehead removed due to a delayed diagnosis.”

    his condition gravely worsened, and he was hospitalized, ultimately requiring surgery to

    remove part of his forehead after an infection led to abscesses forming under his skull.

    the ICE Medical Quality Management Unit found that the “inadequate medical care provided by [the detention center] was a contributory factor resulting in harm,”

    “inadequate medical care provided by [the detention center] was a contributory factor resulting in harm,”

    “a man who was improperly prescribed aspirin—

    which is a blood thinner, even though he was already bleeding through his skin—

    for six days, resulting in the detainee coughing up blood and being hospitalized.”

    the child, an indigenous boy from Guatemala, “exhibited increasingly alarming symptoms, including writhing in distress, collapsing, vomiting blood, and finally laying motionless on the floor for hours.

    “The Department’s failure to care for this sick child appears to be part of a troubling

    pattern of abuse and poor treatment of immigrants in the Department’s detention centers,”

    Maloney continued.

    “The lack of treatment appears to be a flagrant violation of CBP’s own detention
    standards and

    raises serious questions about whether whether??

    DHS is failing to treat children and adults with basic human dignity and compassion.”

    Trash/Miller still neglecting, abusing migrants

    Experts slam CBP's new migrant health screening plan as 'bare bones,' 'beyond disappointing'

    On New Year’s Eve, border officials released a
    medical screening “plan” that’s being criticized by leading medical professionals as “incredibly frustrating,” “bare bones,” and “beyond disappointing,”

    The plan “is lacking in many details and provides health screenings only for children, not adults,”

    will roll the plan out in phases, having agents "observe and identify potential medical issues” when they first detain someone, then conducting “health interviews” of people under 18.

    "This agency is responsible for people's lives and should act like it is.”

    “I
    t’s going to ... take another 90 days to figuring out a plan for delivering increased medical screenings of kids,” he wrote.

    “You can tell this is a real priority for them.”

    The plan comes more than a year after
    7-year-old Jakelin Ameí Rosmery Caal Maquin and 8-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo became

    the first migrant children to die in CBP custody in 10 years.

    More children have died in federal immigration custody since,

    including 16-year-old C
    arlos Gregorio Hernández Vásquez, who languished alone and died next to his cell’s toilet.

    Not only does s
    urveillance footage obtained by ProPublica show that border officials lied about checking in on the boy,

    but border officials
    have also refused to give detained kids flu shots,

    If you're taking people into your custody, you're responsible for their health.” White nativist racists responsible for foreign browns?

    bag Repugs in hole TX first to reject all refugees to please Trash/Miller

    Texas governor to reject new refugees under Trump order

    The Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has said the state will not accept new refugees under the US government's resettlement programme.

    The decision means Texas will become the first state known to do so.


    Last year US President Donald Trump signed an executive order allowing states to opt out of the programme.

    In the 2018 fiscal year, Texas took in 1,697 refugees

    - more than any other state, but a large drop from 4,768 in the previous fiscal year.

    ICE reopening long-closed deportation cases against Dreamers

    Now, in an escalation of its pursuit of undo ented immigrants, the

    Trump administration is moving to deport members of the very group that seemed until a few years ago the most protected: DACA recipients.

    ICE has begun asking immigration courts to reopen administratively closed deportation cases against DACA recipients who continue to have no criminal record, or only a minor record.

    Immigration attorneys in Arizona confirmed at least 14 such cases being reopened since October, and CNN also found DACA recipients whose cases recently were reopened in Nevada and Missouri.


    And that is just the beginning.

    ICE confirmed to CNN that all DACA recipients whose deportation cases have been administratively closed can expect to see them reopened.

    In an email, the agency stated that "re-calendaring of administratively closed cases is occurring nationwide and not isolated to a particular state or region."

    The move to reopen deportation cases against Dreamers comes as

    the US Supreme Court considers whether to let the Trump administration end the program — and during oral arguments in November, at least

    some justices made it clear that they were accepting the president's assurances that ending DACA would not mean deporting Dreamers.

    Chief Justice John Roberts said that the dispute over DACA is really "about work authorization and these other benefits." Referring to the Dreamers,

    Roberts said that the Trump administration, like the Obama administration before it, "said they're not going to deport people."

    But immigration attorneys say the cases they are now seeing reopened show how

    ICE is preparing to deport DACA recipients if the Supreme Court ruling terminates the program.

    Trash/Miller/racist terrorism and torture news

    Families reunite after nearly two years apart: ‘Beginning of a whole other journey’


    Esvin Fernando Arredondo embraces his daughter, Alison Arredondo, at Los Angeles International Airport. A federal judge found the U.S. had unlawfully deported Arredondo apart from his family.

    David Xol of Guatemala hugs his son Byron at Los Angeles International Airport as they reunite after being separated more than a year and a half ago.

    the lasting effects of the Trump administration’s family separation policy on thousands of children and their parents.

    Advocates for migrants say

    the administration has continued to quietly separate hundreds of families using different tactics.

    these parents and children who have been highly traumatized

    The total number of children separated from a parent or guardian under Trump remains unknown.

    At least 471 parents were deported without their children, and some have yet to be reunited.

    Nearly two years ago, Xol arrived at the border with his son, then 7 years old, to ask for asylum. According to Xol, immigration officials told him that if he continued with his asylum claim, he would be held for two years and separated from Byron.

    The father said he decided to sign a form that he believed would allow him to leave the country with his son. Sabraw found Xol’s removal to be unlawful because he had not withdrawn his asylum claim voluntarily.

    The Trump administration’s new “birth tourism” policy, explained

    pregnant people in serious need of medical care will be turned away,
    possibly to die.

    the new policy is part of a larger pattern by the Trump administration of

    compromising the reproductive rights and health of immigrants and people seeking to come to the US, many of them people of color.

    With this proposal, the

    Trump administration is “extending an agenda of white supremacy to US-bound travelers,”

    A woman saying she was a medical professional then

    escorted her to a bathroom and directed her to take a pregnancy test, Nishida wrote.

    When it was negative, she was allowed to board.

    The practice of testing passengers “is discriminatory in that it targets passengers based on their outward appearance by pinpointing those that ‘appear’ pregnant,”

    stopping non-US-born pregnant people from giving birth on American soil is a priority for the Trump administration.

    The new rule will not apply equally around the globe.

    Citizens of
    39 mostly Western countries — most of Europe, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Brunei, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea — generally don’t need a B visa to travel to the US for 90 days or less, and won’t be affected.

    Trump's budget proposal requests "wildly large" ICE funding


    The White House is
    asking for a boost to this year's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) budget,

    a proposal that includes 60,000 detention beds —

    6,000 more than last year's budget proposal and

    around 15,000 more than ICE actually received.

    By the numbers: The administration's

    immigration focus seems to have shifted from the border wall to detention.


    • The White House has proposed funds to hold an average of 55,000 adults and 5,000 family members each day in ICE detention centers. In the past two fiscal years, ICE has only been granted enough funding to fill an average of 45,000 beds each day.
    • Meanwhile, the administration is asking for just $2 billion for the border wall, significantly less than the $5 billion for the wall it requested last year, the Wall Street Journal reported.
    • The proposal also includes funds for 4,600 new ICE personnel.
    • At $9.8 billion, the administration wants nearly $2 billion more in ICE's total "operations and support" budget than they received for this fiscal year, as Politico reported.


    Between the lines: ICE held
    record numbers of migrants in detention during and shortly after the border crisis last summer — reaching an average of 55,000 detained migrants per day.

    The head of the powerful union representing border patrol agents nationwide said

    the FBI is working to identify who stole some $500,000 out of the coffers of the El Paso local.

    The theft raises more questions about lawlessness in the union’s ranks.

    This is why Moscow Mitch / Leonard Leo have been polluting the Federal judiciary to block these kinds of humane rulings

    Federal appeals court blocks inhumane and illegal Trump policy forcing asylum-seekers to Mexico

    the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday issued two rulings hitting the Trump administration’s attempts to obliterate the U.S. asylum system, including

    a decision
    blocking the inhumane and illegal Remain in Mexico policy,

    finding it “
    likely violated federal immigration law by ousting undo ented asylum seekers who are supposed to be allowed to apply for protection inside the United States,”

    The court further said that

    Remain in Mexico—officially called Migrant Protection Protocols, even though
    it’s provided no protections to the 60,000 people who’ve been shut out of the U.S.—

    “likely violated the United States’ ‘non-refoulement’ obligations under international and domestic law, which prohibit the U.S. government from sending people to a country where they could face persecution,”


    “The 57-page ruling cited multiple examples of Central American asylum seekers who feared kidnapping, threats and violence in Mexico.”

    https://www.dailykos.com/stories/1922791

    The 5th Circuit would very probably given Trash/McConnell a victory.

    I expect the govt to appeal

    In ICE Detention, Forced to Pay for Soap

    The for-profit model of private prison contractors has created artificial scarcity—and serious danger during the pandemic.

    ICE requires the privately run jail to serve detained immigrants three meals per day, but, in a clear effort to keep attendance low and costs down, breakfast is served at 3:30 am.

    the meals are sparse, and often days old.

    “Soap we have to buy from the commissary,” Escobedo says. “They give us a tiny soap that is only good for one use.” He says that once a week, on Tuesday, the jail gives each person a ration of soap, but it lasts about a day. If people want more, they have to pay.

    The coronavirus crisis has thrown the archipelago of ICE detention centers run by private prison companies into chaos.

    “We basically have to hunger strike to get what we need,”

    soap and cleaning products are rationed out in such meager amounts that he and other detainees have periodically stopped eating to pressure the detention center staff to provide enough supplies.

    multiple reports from detained immigrants who say they’ve engaged in mass protests in recent weeks demanding soap, cleaning products, and toilet paper.

    In 2019, a bar of Dove soap cost $2.44 in CoreCivic’s Stewart Detention Center in Georgia,
    according to a Reuter’s investigation; the same bar costs about a dollar at a drugstore.

    to “motivate” immigrants into working in-detention jobs, which can pay as little as $1 per day.

    detention facilities create “artificial scarcity” in order to coerce the people locked inside into working in-detention jobs.

    Geo purposely skimps on basic necessities—like food soap, clean water, medicine—in order to make it so that they have a readily available workforce.”

    Lawsuit alleges three women were raped in ICE custody before being deported

    three men in plainclothes appeared around midnight with their faces covered.

    Jane Doe says she was beaten and raped by one of the men, and that the other women in the cell were also assaulted.

    After the three women were assaulted, Jane Doe alleges that they were left in the cell until around 5 AM on June 2, 2018,

    when men arrived and told the women to change their underwear and clothing.

    Jane Doe says they were then loaded onto a bus with male detainees and detention center guards, transferred to Laredo, Texas, and then deported to Mexico.

    ICE purports to have a “zero tolerance policy” for all forms of sexual abuse,

    but abuse is rampant in the agency’s detention centers nationwide.

    An
    analysis of 33,000 complaints of sexual assault and physical abuse filed with the DHS Office of Inspector General between January 2010 and July 2016 found that more abuse complaints were filed against ICE than any other agency within DHS.

    Even more recently, an April 2018
    investigation by The Intercept reviewed

    1,224 complaints of sexual and physical abuse filed by detained people between 2010 and 2017.

    More than half of those accused of abuse worked for ICE.

    CoreCivic, the nation’s oldest and largest for-profit private prison corporation, operates more than 70 facilities across the country and is one of ICE’s largest contractors despite

    decades of do ented cases of sexual violence, abuse, medical neglect, and

    in-custody deaths spanning both the company’s
    immigrant detention centers and prisons.
