Human Rights First research has produced reports on the Circumvention of Lawful Pathways Rule (“Asylum Ban”), the Asylum Processing Interim Final ruleTitle 42, “Remain in Mexico,” and many other issues. We regularly solicit case examples to inform our research and always anonymize submissions.

We are currently seeking case examples from partner organizations and practitioners related to the Asylum Ban under which non-Mexican nationals who entered the United States at the southern border as of May 12, 2023 without a CBP One appointment, among other grounds, are ineligible for asylum:

  • Individuals with asylum claims subject to the asylum ban in expedited removal found to not meet an exception or rebut the presumption of ineligibility, particularly where merited, who received a positive fear decision under the higher reasonable possibility standard or received a negative decision under the higher reasonable possibility standard and were ordered removed—regardless of subsequent outcomes.
  • Individuals with asylum claims subject to the asylum ban during a final merits hearing in immigration court, who were ordered removed or denied asylum and instead granted withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture.

To discuss how Human Rights First will use a case example, or to share a case example by email, please contact Christina Asencio, Director of Research & Analysis, Refugee Protection ([email protected]).
