President Donald Trump has signed a presidential proclamation that will block migrants caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border from seeking asylum. The move aims to funnel asylum seekers towards ports of entry. U.S. law specifically allows individuals to apply for asylum regardless of their entry procedure. It is illegal to circumvent that by agency or presidential decree. We know that asylum seekers from Central America and elsewhere are fleeing violence and persecution, and that as Christians we are called to, “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” Contact the Trump Administration today and protect migrant’s ability to seek asylum!
