Por Telemundo 39 salió un reporte tratando de la falta grave de superversión en un centro de detención para niños separados de sus padres bajo la política "zero tolerance" de la administración Trump. Un cliente del abogado - un niño de seis años - fue víctima de violencia y acoso sexual como consecuencia de esa lasitud.

The nonprofit The National Partnership for New Americans recently demanded U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) "take aggressive steps to reduce the backlog of citizenship applications and reduce the waiting time for applicants down to six months," as it was before President Donald Trump took office. The organization has concluded - correctly, in the view of this attorney - that "[t]he backlog of citizenship applications at USCIS indicates either extreme incompetence or malevolent voter suppression, and serves as critical tool in the Trump Administration’s attacks on immigrant communities."

The Trump Administration is reportedly negotiating a "safe third country" agreement with Mexico to permit the U.S. to perfunctorily deny asylum to anyone arriving at the US border after having traveled through Mexico. Whether or not these negotiations bear fruit, the Justice Department has already signaled that judges must consider "whether the alien passed through any other countries" before granting asylum. Yet Mexico is no safe haven. This is the conclusion of two recent studies - one authored Human Rights First and a the second prepared under the sponsorship of agencies including Casa del Migrante and the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA).

The Dallas Morning News published an editorial penned by the attorney in which he condemns the U.S. Justice Department's recent measures to 

1) Redefine "refugee" to exclude those fleeing persecution by any entity other than their government; and

2) Expand to absurd dimensions the meaning of "material support to a terrorist organization" in order to disqualify for asylum even those giving inconsequential support while enslaved by that organization.

En el diario Al Día, el abogado opina que violencia doméstica y la generada por la actividad pandillera sí son motivos válidos para conceder asilo, y critica el procurador general Jeff Sessionspor declarar lo contrario. Según el abogado, “Eso representa el 90% de los pedidos de asilo de los centroamericanos."
