Immigration: Thousands of migrants forced to stay in Mexico wait for direction from the Biden administration

CNN  

CNN — Within the span of a year and a half, a Cuban couple living on the US-Mexico border were repeatedly threatened, attacked and lost a baby after being assaulted, as they waited for their next immigration court date in the United States under a Trump-era policy. What we saw our clients go through is the opposite of dignity.” RELATED: Biden wasting no time naming officials to reverse Trump’s immigration policies Under Trump, migrants from Central America and other parts of the world who were seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border were forced to remain in Mexico until their immigration court hearings in the United States. “It’s really, really difficult for people that are desperate and in dire situations in Mexico,” said Taylor Levy, an immigration attorney based in California who works with clients in Juarez. “These asylum seekers are extremely vulnerable in Mexico, more vulnerable than your average Mexican.” ‘Every day there’s some new rumor’ Biden plans to announce executive actions that would establish a “fair but efficient asylum program” that includes ending the “Remain in Mexico” program, Esther Olavarria, deputy director of the Domestic Policy Council for immigration, said last weekend. “We’ve generally been getting repeated callers asking the same questions in different ways to understand what the process is,” Clark told CNN, adding that some people have called three to four times “with the hope that we’re going to say something different.” View of tents belonging to migrants, in Matamoros, Tamaulipas state, Mexico, near to the border with the United States, on November 1, 2019.
