Liberties Groups: Immigrants and Asylum Provisions

liberties groups: A hearing on the lawsuit was held Friday, according to Metro News. One of the immigrants is Hanad Abdi, who fled Somalia after men killed his father and stole the family farm. Civil liberties groups sued on behalf of the immigrants, who were jailed in a Batavia detention facility. He says his only hope for safety and freedom was to flee to the United States. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing immigration officials to end the abuse of parole and asylum provisions by immigrants in the country illegally. But when he got to the U.S. he was detained for months while his bid for asylum progressed through immigration courts. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
