San Francisco judge blocked sending asylum seekers to the United States to wait for decisions to Mexico

A US judge blocked the policy of the administration of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to send asylum-seekers back to Mexico while the immigration court considers their cases. But this court decision, taken on April 8, did not take effect immediately.

On Monday in San Francisco, Judge Richard Seeborg granted a claim by 11 Central American asylum seekers and human rights groups to stop sending immigrants to Mexico while applications are pending. But the decision will not take effect until Friday, March 12, to give the government an opportunity to go to the appellate court.

The judge said that Trump’s policy does not guarantee that migrants will not face “undue risk to their lives or freedom” in Mexico.

It is not known whether the administration will ask the appellate court to suspend this decision. The US Department of Justice declined to comment.

The decree was issued the day after Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kirsten Nielsen resigned, and the administration has faced repeated failures in court regarding strict anti-immigration measures.

Launched in January 2019 Trump administration policy The dispatch of asylum seekers back to Mexico during the consideration of their cases marked an unprecedented change in the US asylum system, government officials and asylum experts said.

The Trump administration says it is responding to the crisis on the country's southern border with such measures. The number of families fleeing poverty and gang violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador by fleeing to the United States is only increasing.

The lawsuit against immigrants and human rights organizations claimed that the Trump administration violated US law by failing to adequately assess the dangers faced by migrants in Mexico.

The ACLU and other groups also claim in the lawsuit that the law authorizing the return of some immigrants to Mexico does not apply to asylum seekers who illegally cross the border or arrive at a border crossing point without proper documents.

Seeborg agreed, saying that the “simple language” of the law supports this interpretation.

“No matter how hard it tries, the Trump administration cannot simply ignore our laws to achieve its goal of preventing people from seeking asylum in the United States,” Judy Rabinowitz, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in remarks after the trial.

Immigrant rights groups enthusiastically passed a decision of the judge on Monday, April 8.

The administration hopes that the delay of asylum seekers in Mexico will help to reduce the number of cases in US immigration courts, where more than 800 000 applications are now awaiting consideration.
