Summary

"Forty years ago, Congress passed the Refugee Act of 1980 to protect people who flee persecution to seek safety in the United States. This legislation adopted a refugee definition based on the UN Refugee Convention and prescribed equitable and transparent procedures for a uniform asylum process. Until the Trump administration, this commitment to protect asylum seekers who had reached our borders was honored by Republican and Democratic administrations alike. Beginning in 2018, Donald J. Trump and his Attorneys General systematically demolished the system of humanitarian protections for asylum seekers, twisting statutory language beyond recognition through adjudicatory rulings, procedural changes, regulations of dubious legality, and new fees. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the rise and demise of the US asylum system."--, Provided by publisher
