ICE Throws Away the Key for Asylum Seekers Print E-mail
Friday, 16 November 2007
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a new policy today on requirements for the parole of detained asylum seekers. The directive reverses a long-standing policy that favored the release of asylum seekers who do not pose a flight risk or danger to the community. It guarantees that they will remain jailed, some for years, even though they have never committed a crime.

 

NIJC has called for the policy to be rescinded. Read more about the policy and its violations against international law here.
