Team — The Biden administration recently proposed severe asylum restrictions to those coming to the US to seek protection.
The new rule is reminiscent of Trump's transit ban — which Biden himself campaigned against and a federal court declared illegal.
We’ve successfully spoken out against racist, dangerous transit bans before, but we’re going to need your help to build a wave of opposition against the Biden administration’s new asylum rule.
Will you add a donation to help us fight back and put pressure on the Biden administration to reverse course? The lives of thousands of asylum seekers hang in the balance.

Under the new rule, migrants seeking asylum could be sent back to Mexico or the countries they came from — back to the dangerous conditions they were desperately trying to escape.
Asylum is a human right. Turning back asylum seekers goes against US law and international asylum standards. It puts migrants at risk of persecution, violence, and death.
We expect more from President Biden. We expect his administration to protect and uplift immigrant communities. And at a bare minimum, we expect him not to revive Trump-era policies targeting asylum seekers.
With so much at stake, we’re counting on your help to speak out.
We’re not going to let the Biden administration turn back the clock without a fight. Make a donation to help us hold Biden accountable to dismantling cruel and dangerous anti-immigrant policies:
