  • CLINIC Comment Asylum Employment Authorization Document (EAD)

    CLINIC submitted comments on January 13, 2020 strongly opposing proposed regulations which will impose new limitations on asylum seekers’ ability to obtain an employment authorization document (EAD) while their asylum applications are pending. The proposed rule will force asylum seekers to wait a full year after filing an asylum application before being eligible to seek an EAD; will prevent asylum seekers who missed the one year filing deadline from obtaining an EAD while their application is pending; will prevent asylum seekers who entered without inspection from obtaining an asylum pending EAD; and will require officers adjudicating EADs to make complex eligibility determinations based on possible criminal bars to asylum.

  • CLINIC Comment Criminal Bars to Asylum

    On Jan. 21, 2020, CLINIC submitted a public comment opposing the proposed rule to create additional criminal bars to asylum. CLINIC opposes this rule because it expands the categorical bars to asylum to include minor offenses and alleged criminal conduct, without consideration of proportionality. In our comment, CLINIC describes how the proposed rule is contrary to our obligations under the United Nations Refugee Convention, and how its implementation will result in the separation of families and the wrongful return of asylum seekers to harm.

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.
