THREAD (1/6): Meet immigration attorney Carina Patritti, who recently won an incredible asylum victory for her young clients, brothers E and R from El Salvador, who arrived as unaccompanied children at the ages of 15 and 13, respectively.

(2/6) In El Salvador, E & R suffered severe physical & psychological abuse by their grandfather & other caretakers, who also forced them to engage in child labor. Carina & LAS team began working w/ the siblings the year after their arrival & submitted their asylum applications.
(3/6) The Asylum Office did not grant their applications despite voluminous evidence of abuse & referred their cases to be heard by a Judge in Immigration Crt. 5 years after they entered the US, they had their trial in court.
(4/6) Despite an evidence package demonstrating E & R's abuse (including photos of the self-harm E inflicted on himself as a result of that abuse & PTSD diagnoses for both brothers), the govn't atty insisted they testify, re-traumatizing them & exacerbating the pain they endured.
(5/6) Finally, after E’s grueling testimony where he bravely spoke about the many years of severe abuse he & his brother had experienced and its impact on his psychological well-being, the judge & government attorney determined that no one else would need to testify.
(6/6) Thanks to an amazing collaborative effort between Carina, a LAS youth social worker, and a paralegal, the Immigration Judge issued a written decision that granted asylum to both siblings in June 2019!
