Representing asylum seekers returned to Mexico under the “Migrant Protection Protocols” (“remain in Mexico” program).
More than 40,000 people who have expressed a fear of return to U.S. border officials have been placed into deportation proceedings and returned to Mexico to await their hearings in U.S. immigration courts. These asylum seekers are in terrible danger. Participants in the “Migrant Protection Protocols” have been kidnapped, raped, and extorted by criminals in Mexico, and have even been directly abused by Mexican government officials. CAC attorneys will provide legal services to these most vulnerable asylum seekers.
