The Tahirih Justice Center’s Senior Immigration Policy Counsel, Irena Sullivan, wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Times about the consequences of the Attorney General’s ruling which seeks to tighten standards for asylum claims.
“Congress enacted our asylum laws intending for the United States to provide safe haven for individuals, many of them women, who face extreme threats to their lives and safety. If we fail to do so, we will be sending those most vulnerable back to face violent abuse, and will be complicit in the harm that comes to them.”
