Why protest the MPP? As part of the UN Convention against Torture & Other Cruel/Inhuman/Degrading Treatment/Punishment, the US is obligated not to return anyone “where there are substantial grounds for believing that [they] would be in danger of being subjected to torture.”

The MPP program has coincided w/ an increase of murders in Juárez. 151 people were killed in May & 80+ were murdered in the first 17 days of June. There has also been an increase in sex/human trafficking of asylum seekers. I witnessed a woman getting taken by a pimp yesterday.

That same woman had her Cuban passport taken by border patrol & was sent back to Mexico w/o it due to MPP. With no money & no passport, the Cuban woman, who had the legal right to remain in the US while waiting for asylum, was forced back.

The senator has made it through with the asylum seekers. They will receive proper care/protection at a shelter (not a detention center) here in the United States.

Yup. They’ll receive proper care at a shelter, before disappearing into the us and never showing up at their asylum hearing, because that’s not what they want. They just want the free stuff promised to them by democrats.

By that, do you mean 10%? Because that's the statistic: less than 10% end up having their asylum hearing in absentia. And that's assuming all in absentia cases are people who dont show up at all, which is not the case. https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1107056/download#page=34 …
