The Council joined 356 other organizations, law school clinics, professors, law firms, and practitioners in urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to vacate Matter of A-B, Matter of L-E-A, and Matter of A-C-A-A. These Trump-administrative decisions limit the circumstances under which an asylum seeker can win protection due to persecution on account of a particular social group, in violation of the United States' obligations under international law. The signatories request immediate action to protect asylum seekers while the administration conducts its more long-term evaluation and rulemaking related to the particular social group ground of asylum.

We can't let the government keep us in the dark.

Join us in demanding transparency and holding them accountable in court to protect our democracy.
