WASHINGTON, D.C. 鈥� Following Attorney General Merrick Garland鈥檚 decisions vacating key pieces of the Trump administration鈥檚 systematic assault on the U.S. asylum process, Peter Isbister, Senior Lead Attorney with the 澳彩开奖鈥檚 Immigrant Justice Project released the following statement:听
听
鈥淭he 澳彩开奖 commends Attorney General Garland鈥檚 decisions vacating Matter of A-B I & II and Matter of L-E-A-. These decisions were a key piece of the Trump administration鈥檚 systematic assault on the U.S. asylum process and betrayed our nation鈥檚 obligation to protect victims of persecution鈥攑articularly those who have faced persecution by non-state actors or persecution on account of their sex, gender, or family membership.听
听
鈥淭oday鈥檚 action by Attorney General Garland is an important first step toward re-establishing that asylum seekers are entitled to fair, case-by-case evaluation of their claims. We are encouraged by the Attorney General鈥檚 commitment to issue long-overdue regulations defining 鈥榩articular social group鈥� to protect future asylum seekers from the political meddling of Attorneys General who are ideologically opposed to asylum, which happened repeatedly under the Trump Administration.听
听
鈥淲e also urge him to ensure that the forthcoming regulations reflect respect for human dignity and honor our commitments under international law. 听We look forward to further action by Attorney General Garland to undo the enormous damage wrought by the Trump administration and finally protect the rights afforded to individuals seeking asylum.鈥澨�
