  • CLINIC Department of State Shifts Human Rights Reports Comparison Charts

    Posted on October 20, 2020

    Each year the U.S. Department of State issues a Human Rights Report on every country in the world. These reports play an important role in adjudicating asylum and other humanitarian applications for relief, as immigration judges often rely heavily on their conclusions. Pending proposed regulations would give these reports even greater weight in immigration court. CLINIC has evaluated the Department of State reports for 2016 — the last year that the Obama administration produced the reports — and 2019 — the last year the Trump administration produced the reports — and found significant differences in length, subject matter and tone.

  • Citing COVID-19, the Administration Seeks to Bar Asylum Seekers as a Danger to National Security

    Posted on July 21, 2020

    On July 9, 2020, the administration issued a proposed regulation entitled, “Security Bars and Processing.” The proposed rule seeks to bar entry of asylum applicants who have tested positive for COVID-19, come from a country where COVID-19 is prevalent, and/or exhibit COVID-19 symptoms. The administration is using the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as a basis to apply a mandatory bar to asylum and withholding of removal.

Promoting the Dignity of Immigrants with Affordable Legal Expertise

As it has for more than 30 years, CLINIC will fight for the rights of immigrants. CLINIC trains legal representatives who provide high-quality and affordable immigration legal services. We develop and sustain a network of nonprofit programs that serve close to 500,000 immigrants every year. We cultivate projects that support and defend vulnerable immigrant populations by:

  • providing direct representation for asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and educating them about their rights; 
  • reuniting formerly separated families;
  • increasing legal representation for those in removal proceedings and in detention;
  • providing public education on immigration law and policies; and
  • advocating for fair and just immigration policies that acknowledge the inherent dignity and value of all people.  

History has taught us that people who step up can make a difference. We hope you will join us.
