A woman was kidnapped by Salvadoran guerrillas. She was made to watch her husband dig his own grave before being murdered. She was enslaved. She is not eligible for asylum because cooking/cleaning AS A SLAVE UNDER THREAT OF DEATH is considered material support to terrorists.https://twitter.com/DOJ_EOIR/status/1004456969208508416 …

Is the Board of Immigration Appeals a subdivision of the DOJ? When this story was made known a two days ago, or so, the decision, likely incorrectly, was attributed to the DOJ As noted below, though, the widespread tweet I replied to, is no more.https://twitter.com/Ramsbergable/status/1004521175450562561 …

The BIA is the highest authority within the immigration court system (which is not like the regular court system). The BIA is part of the Executive Office for Immigration Review that is, indeed, part of the Department of Justice.

Thank you, both for the informative reply, for the work you do on a daily basis and for the depth of compassion that you put into your work, I'm sure that it can't be easy.

I should add that AG Sessions can and has been referring cases to himself. He’s actually the highest authority here.

I haven't seen it on my feed but that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.

I mean, this case could be used to deny a ton of asylum claims.

A friend posted (and it’s true) that if you were a Jew during the Holocaust who threw a shovel full of dirt on a mass grave at gun point then you would be denied asylum by this metric.

Probably because so many of the men behind these laws have no problem seeing women kept in this role.
