Submit a Comment: Protect Asylum Seekers' Due Process Rights

April 29, 2022

The public comment period is open for a proposed rule that would change how asylum claims are processed. The rule proposes that people seeking refuge at the U.S. border have claims decided by asylum officers in a fast-tracked process.

Speeding up the asylum process within such a broken system jeopardizes the due process rights of asylum seekers. Human Rights First and University of Maine School of Law student attorneys explain why this rule is problematic in light of the Lives in Limbo report ILAP and our partners released last month.

Tell the Biden Administration: Asylum seekers deserve a fair chance. Rushing cases through a broken system does not result in justice! Public comments will be accepted until May 31, 2022.
