DHS Seeks to Block Asylum in US, Leaving Immigrants in Limbo
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
The Department of Homeland Security is attempting to dismiss asylum claims in New Yorks immigration courts, arguing that individuals can seek asylum in Honduras, Ecuador, or Uganda instead. This tactic, known as pretermitting asylum claims, could leave individuals vulnerable to deportation to countries they may not be from or have never visited. The impact on individuals is already clear, with many bursting into tears at the thought of applying for asylum in these countries. The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for increased third-country removals, and the number of deportations is expected to rise significantly. The challenge for asylum seekers is immense, with many feeling helpless and confused about their future.
