Anastasia
I came to the U.S. in the winter of 2006. Life back home in Mexico was tough for me and my family. I dreamt of going to college and graduating but with my family’s economic status, that dream was too costly and impossible.
At least I was able to graduate high school and that is something I am proud of since I was also working at the time to help my family. I was always looking for an opportunity to have a better life as a young woman.June 23, 2023 -

“I hope my story is helpful to someone else…and can inspire many women to be stronger. We need to help young women identify toxic relationships, so that there are fewer Camilas that go through such difficult things, let alone have our children suffer.”

Tahirih Comments on Proposed Changes to Appellate Procedures and Decisional Finality in Immigration Proceedings
Tahirih submitted comments to the Executive Office of Immigration Review in response to the proposed rule published on August 26, 2020. Tahirih opposes the rule as both a matter of public policy and because it patently violates numerous laws, including the Immigration & Nationality Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the international obligations of the United States as a State party to the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and 1967 Protocol.
