Immigrants鈥� rights advocates sued the Trump administration over the president鈥檚 recent proclamation aimed at completely shutting down asylum at the border, a move that puts thousands of lives at risk.

Under the 鈥�212(f)鈥� proclamation, which falsely cites an 鈥渋nvasion鈥� as justification to deny asylum protections expressly granted by Congress, families and individuals face return to countries where they are at grave risk of persecution with no recourse.

Trump鈥檚 action ignores protections put in place by Congress and backed by the courts for generations that ensure people have a chance to have their asylum claims heard. This proclamation also differs from Trump鈥檚 previous attempts to shut off asylum in his first administration because the recent move leaves no avenue open for people to seek asylum, even if they present themselves at a port of entry.
