REMAIN REMAINS PROBLEMATIC

There are roughly 55,000 migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. who are waiting in Mexico as a result of the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy – and they continue to face violence, Elliot Spagat writes for the Associated Press. One Salvadoran woman seeking asylum was beaten by two men “after she spent four months in captivity in Mexico, kidnapped into prostitution during her journey toward the U.S.” While the Trump administration insists the program is safe, critics argue that “the administration’s policy denies asylum seekers like the Salvadoran woman fair and humane treatment, forcing them to wait in a country plagued by drug-fueled violence — illustrated this week by the slaughter near the U.S. border of six children and three women.”
