EL PASO, Texas/WASHINGTON - About 1% of the migrants sent to wait in Mexico pending the outcome of their U.S. asylum claims have successfully claimed that they would face danger if they had to stay in Mexico, a top U.S. immigration official said on Friday.
More than 15,000 migrants claiming asylum in the United States after crossing the U.S.-Mexican border, most of them Central Americans, have been sent back to Mexico to wait for their cases to be processed since January under the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols , according to Mexican officials.
The policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico has been criticized by asylum officers themselves. On Wednesday, their union filed a brief in a lawsuit challenging the policy, saying it was “contrary to the moral fabric of our Nation.”Cuccinelli said that some U.S. border patrol agents had begun conducting initial screening interviews to determine whether migrants were eligible to apply for asylum and early indications from the pilot program were “positive.
