Denial of Asylum

The Trump administration has instructed ICE agents that parents seeking reunification with their children must sign a form as a condition of reunification. The form gives only two options: leave the U.S.A. with your children; or leave without them. Even if your asylum claim is already in process, you are required to sign the form.

Action - as many as you can:

1. Email a complaint to the United Nations Council on Human Rights, protesting the refusal to allow the adult family members of separated children to petition for asylum:

2. Call your Senators and your Member of Congress to protest this violation of human rights.

3. Contact Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Ranking Member Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), asking them to intercede to prevent this gross violation of human rights.

4. Donate to the ACLU and/or the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
