Ayana Explains Asylum in the Post-Title 42 Era

Ayana Explains Asylum in the Post-Title 42 Era

Join Ayana as she delves into the recent development of the end of Title 42 and its implications for asylum seekers in the United States. She explores the history of Title 42, the impact it had on vulnerable communities, and the opportunities it presents for a more compassionate and fair approach to asylum in the United States.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers sang "everybody's had to fight to be free, you see. You don't have to live like a refugee," that is, unless, you landed at the Southern US border and you had to use an smartphone/computer app to apply for asylum, and unless you schedule an appointment provided you found some free WiFi, then you don't even get to be a refugee.
