U.S : we need your signature.

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
Dear friend, 
 
 
 

I’m writing to you from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico where my team and I have been speaking with families seeking asylum for the past several days. The stories we are hearing will break your heart. 
 

It’s been more than a year since the Trump administration weaponized the COVID-19 pandemic to further violate the rights of migrants seeking asylum in the United States. When the Trump administration enacted the Title 42 expulsions order, it effectively closed the nation’s doors and denied the right to seek asylum. 
 

A year later, and the borders are still closed. 
 

While President Biden has made strides in rolling back Trump’s draconian immigration policies, we are more than four months into the Biden administration, and the Title 42 expulsions order is still firmly in place. Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is pushing the administration to act swiftly to rescind this policy. Add your name today to tell President Biden that Title 42 border expulsions must end today. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For the families we’re speaking with here in Mexico, the Title 42 policy is, essentially, family separation. Parents are so worried for their children that they are sending them across the border alone, in the hope that their children will find safety. 
 

Public health, immigration, and human rights experts all agree : when the Trump administration enacted the Title 42 border expulsions order, it did not do so with public health in mind, but rather to further erode the rights of those seeking asylum. Experts concur – there is no public health rationale for denying people the right to seek asylum. 
 

The Title 42 order not only puts the lives of the women, men, and children fleeing horrific violence in immediate danger, it also violates the legal right to asylum, while incorrectly claiming to be in the service of public health.
