Starting today, the Trump administration will begin denying asylum to migrants who fail to apply for protection in at least one country they crossed on their journey north to the U.S. border.
The young Honduran woman hoped to enter the United States through Brownsville, Texas, but early Tuesday she was among thousands of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border who could not be sure what might happen next.
“We are not safe either in Honduras or in Mexico,” said the 27-year-old, who asked to be identified by her first name only after fleeing death threats in Honduras. “The only country that can give me my freedom of expression, my personal freedom and my security, is the United States.” The Border Patrol has caught 363,300 Central American family members at the Mexican border since the fiscal year started in October, many seeking asylum. As asylum seekers wait,that include African, Cuban and Haitian immigrants — all of whom would be barred from applying for asylum under the Trump administration’s new rule.
While decisions in asylum cases can take years due to a nationwide backlog, Quigley said that in Mexico, “They have their own backlog.” The Mexican government has worked with the United Nations to improve its asylum system, but applications this year were expected to reach 60,000, up from 15,000 two years ago.
