In April a fundamental reform of the "Common European Asylum System" was adopted by the European Parliament. The core elements of the reform are asylum procedures to be carried out as quickly and "efficiently" as possible directly at the external borders, so that asylum seekers can be deported to their countries of origin and to so-called "safe third countries". Especially if they come from countries with a low chance of being accepted. The EU-Turkey deal of 18 March 2016 can be seen as a prototype for this third country regulation. Sybille Straubinger talks with Neva Öztürk, a Turkish lawyer and assistant professor at the Faculty of Law at Ankara University, about the effects of the EU-Turkey deal and the outsourcing of asylum policy.

‘Stopping the boats' was one of Rishi Sunak's five priorities at the start of 2023. The numbers, and the visuals, of small boats arriving on the UK's southern coast is an issue long seized upon by Nigel Farage and the Reform Party that has, to some extent, spooked both the Conservatives and Labour. And it is a policy problem that has caused massive headaches for the finest minds in government, a succession of ministers as well as the officials trying to implement that policy.So what's actually happening in asylum policy? How many people are trying to claim asylum in the UK, and what does that really mean? What is the government's approach to asylum, be it by approaching Rwanda to be a ‘third country' or otherwise, and is it working? And what, if there is one, could be a better approach?On this week's Expert Factor the team explore asylum policy and how effective the government's approach has been to date. ———— THE EXPERT FACTOR is the podcast for people who haven't had enough of experts. Each week the directors of three leading and respected think tanks – Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Hannah White of the Institute for Government, and Anand Menon of UK in a Changing Europe – get together to discuss, debate and explain the big questions and themes that will shape the election – and the political landscape for years to come. Produced by Milo Hynes Learn more about your ad choices.

The future of the UK asylum system could dominate the 2024 general election campaign. The prime minister has made his controversial Rwanda plan a flagship part of the government's agenda, while Labour has committed to reforming the asylum system as part of its plan to tackle Channel crossings. Rishi Sunak pledged to clear the legacy asylum backlog by the end of 2023, but the sizeable backlog of people waiting for a decision remains – with the government struggling to deal with new asylum cases and problems elsewhere in the system. So what are these problems? Does the government have a coherent plan to bring down the backlog? And what can be done to improve the UK's asylum system in the long term? This panel examined what steps the government can take to ensure the asylum system is fit for purpose in the long term. We were joined by an expert panel, including: Alvina Tamara Chibhamu, Ambassador at the VOICES network Sal Copley, Executive Director of Communications and External Affairs at the British Red Cross Lizzie Dearden, Home affairs journalist and author Sir Philip Rutnam, former Permanent Secretary at the Home Office The event was chaired by Joe Owen, Director of Impact at the Institute for Government.

In a landmark ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John S. Tigar put a hold on a Biden administration rule that sought to restrict asylum applications. The rule, criticized by migrant rights groups, requires migrants to apply for asylum online before reaching the U.S.-Mexico border or to first seek protection in the country they passed through. The judge delayed the implementation of the ruling to allow the Biden administration to appeal. Advocates hailed the judge's decision, arguing that the rule contravened U.S. law guaranteeing the right to asylum regardless of entry method. They cited the inadequate capacity of the government's CBP One app and concerns about migrants' safety in transit countries like Mexico. The administration, justifying the rule, highlighted that migrants should still access protection in other countries and via other pathways, like the CBP One app. The judge noted the app's appointments were far exceeded by demand, leaving many asylum seekers stranded in potentially dangerous situations.

In June 2023, as the last refugee in Nauru was flown back to Australia, the United Kingdom's attempts to introduce an Australian-style offshore processing policy were dealt a blow in the UK courts. The UK had tried to transfer asylum seekers to Rwanda to have their claims for protection processed there. The British policy reflects that which Australia has operated since 2012, sending people who came by boat seeking safety to Nauru and Papua New Guinea to have their asylum claims processed. But on the 29th of June this year, the England and Wales Court of Appeal ruled that Rwanda was not a safe third country, effectively ending for now, the Government's offshore processing plans. To explain this policy and help us understand the implications of the recent court judgment, Kaldor Centre Senior Research Fellow Madeline Gleeson speaks with Dr. Natalie Hodgson, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham, and head of the Forced Migration Unit in the university's Human Rights Law Centre.

As soon as a week from today, the Biden administration could implement a policy that would force people to seek asylum and wait for an answer in Mexico, or another country they passed through, with limited exceptions. The proposed change is based off of a Trump-era policy that the ACLU fought in court, and which President Biden previously condemned. It also stands in direct violation of United States asylum laws and will lead people fleeing violence and persecution to face avoidable harm. President Biden campaigned on promises to restore and strengthen the asylum process. Instead of re-committing the United States to its promise of upholding international humanitarian practices, his administration plans to replace the inhumane Title 42 policy enacted under the Trump administration with a similarly dangerous one, taken straight from the Trump administration's playbook. Baine Bookey, legal director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, and Katrina Eiland, managing attorney for the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, join us today to unpack this rule, the harm it will cause thousands of people, and to explain what the asylum process should look like.

A new Biden Administration policy would limit the ability of migrants to seek asylum at the Southern Border. KPBS Investigative Border Reporter Gustavo Solis reports asylum advocates are universally rejecting the policy and legal action to stop it from taking effect is expected. Then, from the American Homefront Project, a story about National Guard troops at the border, where critics say, is not an appropriate use of the guard. Next, a California writer and poet searches for the identities of Mexican migrants who died in a plane crash 75 years ago, on their way to being deported. And, a controversial restraint used by law enforcement has cost San Diego taxpayers millions. But the sheriff's department will continue using hogtying, or maximum restraint. Finally, a growing number of people in California are getting no-strings-attached cash to help them meet their monthly budget, including here in San Diego.

Wishma Sandamali, a 33-year-old Sri Lankan woman, died in a Japanese detention centre in March of last year. Her death sparked debate on the treatment of the 1,500 asylum seekers currently in detention in Japan. Many of them claim they are being treated inhumanely. Despite its economic might, Japan takes in few refugees. In 2020, it accepted less than 100 asylum seekers, while France, whose population is half the size of Japan's, took in 24,000.

The Biden administration has repeatedly tried to end the policy, which requires migrants making an asylum claim in the U.S. to reside in Mexico until their immigration court date, only to be forced to reinstate it by the courts. Now, the Supreme Court will consider the president's powers on the issue. Also before the court: a public high school football coach in Washington was not rehired to his job after he chose to lead prayers on the field with his players. He later sued the school. The case is one of many religious freedom cases before a court that recently rules in favor of the expression of religion.

In June 2021 Vice-President Kamala Harris traveled to Guatemala and gave a now infamous speech where she told people in the Central American nation "Do not come".  With little context, explanation or recognition of United States or international law Vice-President Harris comments were seen as more of the same like almost a continuation of Trump era policies and dumbed down rhetoric.  These statements by My two guest, Luis Marco and Carolina Martin Ramos  in Episode 7 are both indigenous people and co-directors of a non-profit with national and international reach for assistance and protection fo Maya people.   On the day that Vice-President made her statement in Guatemala Luis Marcos made the following statement on social media:   "Vice-President Harris' callous words to the people of Guatemala and to the Maya Nation, first ignore that Guatemala as a State is on Maya Territory by virtue of the International Legal Construct known as the Doctrine of Discovery.  Second her words ignore US's obligations under international law as well as its moral obligation to humanity.  This includes its commitment to respect the right of the persecuted to seek asylum as refugees, and Indigenous People's pre-existing rights to migrate as recognized in article 36 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples".   In this episode we discuss: The history of the Maya people and Luis' Mayan Guatemalan roots; Carolina's indigenous roots in Mexico and the United States; The appropriation of traditional native North and South American prints and garb in US and European fashion; The impact of VP Harris' statements in Guatemala and the irony of such statements on Maya territory; Current US immigration and asylum policy and its implications for asylum seekers and indigenous people; The doctrine of discovery and how this fueled crimes against humanity against indigenous people; The international human rights dimensions of indigenous rights; Groundbreaking legal work that Carolina and Luis are doing where the rights of indigenous people (apart from the rights under US law) are being raised in immigration court and United States courts; The important work of their organization and where you can donate or find out more about what they do. A trilingual farewell blessing in Maya, Spanish and English.   Jessica's website: https://www.attorneyjessica.com/    Follow Jessica on Social Media: LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter   LUIS MARCOS BIOGRAPHY Luis Marcos belongs to the Q'anjob'al Maya Nation and serves as Ambassador of the Akateko, Chuj, Popti and Q'anjob'al Maya to the Omaha Nation, Member of the Council of Authorities of the National Council of Indigenous Peoples in Diaspora, Preparatory Budy Member of the Congress of Nations and States.  Furthermore, Luis Marcos is Co-Executive Director of Comunidad Maya Pixan Ixim: Reinforcing our Roots, Living our Maya Heritage (CMPI) a 501c 3 organization of the Q'anjob'al Maya Nation in Nebraska.

Carolina is an immigration and human rights attorney with years of experience in nonprofit, government, and private practice. She has worked on crimmigration law as a former public defender, represented noncitizen victims of human trafficking and crimes, and asylum seekers. She has received special recognition for her work with Indigenous migrants and LGBTQ asylum seekers. Currently, Carolina focuses her work on the rights of Indigenous Peoples through pre-existing Indigenous traditional laws and governance and international human rights mechanisms while training Indigenous legal advocates to represent Indigenous migrants in immigration proceedings.  Through her work, Carolina has responded to multiple legal and humanitarian crises related to gender violence and the forced displacement of Indigenous Peoples under colonial state policies including environmental destruction through extractive projects and industries. Carolina volunteered at the Red Owl Legal Collective (aka Legal Tent) at Oceti Sakowin, Standing Rock Nation, worked with asylum seekers at the U.S. – Mexico border region during “the surge” in 2014 and subsequent events where caravans of asylum seekers faced human rights violations, family separations, and refoulement under Trump administration Zero Tolerance policies and Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). In 2018, Carolina traveled to Maya Territory to work directly with families separated at the border and reunited parents and families with their children held in U.S. custody. Carolina's work at CMPI is inherently transnational, cross-jurisdictional, cross border, decolonizing, and anti-colonial. Through the CMPI Maya Human Rights Program, she focuses on providing immigration legal services to Maya and Indigenous migrants, policy and advocacy work in the U.S., and human rights work with Indigenous land and water protectors in Maya Territories.  You can reach Carolina through the Comunidad Maya Pixan Ixim organization at http://www.pixanixim.org and carolina@pixanixim.org.   To donate to Comunidad Maya Pixan Ixim please visit their website or email Luis or Carolina.  All donations are tax deductible as the organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and will be devoted to the betterment of indigenous people.

In this conversation with Dr Lucy Mayblin, A Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Sheffield, she talks to us about the Convention and breaks it down to its simplest elements. Is Britain on the brink of breaching its obligations by contemplating these far reaching changes? She explores what connects Colonialism and contemporary Asylum Policy. She confronts questions that almost seem incendiary, Is the Humanity of people seeking Asylum in Britain at best ambiguous? Where do conceptions of Humanity and differential rights derive, she situates them with histories of Hierarchical and exclusionary ideas over time. A Must Listen!

Confusion and uncertainty loomed over the first day of the Trump administration's new policy that limits the number of asylum seekers allowed to enter the United States through the southern border. The Trump administration announced the new asylum policy on Monday afternoon. By Tuesday morning, hundreds of migrants — mostly from Honduras, Guatemala, Ghana, Cameroon and Mexico — anxiously waited in line to see if their names would be called from an ever-growing wait-list of those ready to enter the U.S. Mexican immigration officials transported 12 people — including those from Venezuela and Haiti — to the United States about 8:40 a.m. at the San Ysidro port of entry. Under the new set of restrictions, asylum seekers who pass through another country first would be deemed ineligible for asylum at the U.S. southern border. That includes most of the thousands of migrants who have been waiting to cross into the U.S. in Tijuana for as many as six months.

The administration has acted strongly and quickly to restrict the pathways to seek and gain asylum in the United States. In Matter of A-B the Attorney General overturned a Board of Immigration Appeals case in an attempt to eliminate domestic and gang violence as grounds for granting asylum. Such serious harm is often one of the central reasons why asylum seekers, especially from Central America, flee. Other new policies include criminally prosecuting asylum seekers who cross the border unlawfully for the first time; pushing back families without valid visas who seek asylum at ports of entry (despite laws that allow people to apply for protection at legal crossing points); detaining families, including pregnant women, while they pursue an asylum claim; and imposing case completion quotas on immigration judges so that they issue asylum and other immigration decisions more quickly. Whither asylum? This panel--including Georgetown Law Professor Andrew I. Schoenholtz; Dilley Pro Bono Project Managing Attorney Shalyn Fluharty; Immigration Reform Law Institute Director of Litigation Christopher J. Hajec; and U.C. Hastings College of the Law Bank of America Chair Karen Musalo--discussed the legal issues underpinning the asylum system changes and the immediate and longer-term effects of the administration’s actions on the U.S. asylum system. They also considered whether the new policies are in conflict with the international treaties to which the United States is signatory and other international law obligations.

This event marked the launch of the RSC Policy Briefing 'Protection in Europe for refugees from Syria' and Forced Migration Review issue 47 on 'The Syria crisis, displacement and protection' There are currently more than 2.8 million registered refugees from Syria. Ninety-six percent of these refugees are hosted by neighbouring countries – Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt. With the exception of Germany and a few other limited initiatives, the primary aim of the European response has been to contain the crisis in the Syrian region and to reinforce Europe's borders. This event marked the launch of a new RSC Policy Briefing, ‘Protection in Europe for refugees from Syria'. Report authors, Cynthia Orchard and Andrew Miller, provided an overview of the European reaction generally, as well as brief summaries of selected countries' responses. They argued that containment of the refugee crisis to the Syrian region is unsustainable and advocate for European countries to open their doors to refugees from the region and to expand safe and legal routes of entry. Also launched at this event was issue 47 of Forced Migration Review on ‘The Syria crisis, displacement and protection'. Professor Roger Zetter, co-author (with Héloïse Ruaudel) of a major article in the issue entitled ‘Development and protection challenges of the Syrian refugee crisis', looked at early recovery and social cohesion interventions and the transition from assistance to development-led interventions in Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan. FMR47 was funded by the Regional Development and Protection Programme, a Denmark-led initiative with contributions from the EU, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, UK and Czech Republic, for whose inception report Professor Zetter was the lead author.

Report authors, Cynthia Orchard and Andrew Miller, provided an overview of the European reaction generally, as well as brief summaries of selected countries' responses. They argued that containment of the refugee crisis to the Syrian region is unsustainable and advocate for European countries to open their doors to refugees from the region and to expand safe and legal routes of entry. Also launched at this event was issue 47 of Forced Migration Review on ‘The Syria crisis, displacement and protection'. Professor Roger Zetter, co-author (with Héloïse Ruaudel) of a major article in the issue entitled ‘Development and protection challenges of the Syrian refugee crisis', looked at early recovery and social cohesion interventions and the transition from assistance to development-led interventions in Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan. FMR47 was funded by the Regional Development and Protection Programme, a Denmark-led initiative with contributions from the EU, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, UK and Czech Republic, for whose inception report Professor Zetter was the lead author.
