Asylum officers are calling for a federal court to put an end to Trump’s so-called Remain in Mexico policy, saying it threatens migrants’ lives. The policy, which forces migrants to return to Mexico while their asylum cases make their way through U.S. immigration courts, has been challenged by the ACLU and other groups. Court filings by a union representing the asylum officers read, “[Asylum officers] should not be forced to honor departmental directives that are fundamentally contrary to the moral fabric of our Nation and our international and domestic legal obligations.”
