Central American Refugees: Critical Reflections One Year into the Biden Administration’s ‘Do not Come’ Policy

Latest

Dear Friends,
This panel marks the first year anniversary of Vice-President Kamala Harris’s much touted fact-finding trip to Mexico and Guatemala. Upon her return, she gave the anemic response from the administration, “Do not come!” In this panel, advocates, activists, and refugees consider what the response of the Biden administration has been, should have been, and must be, given the conditions behind Central American migration and the failure of our asylum system.
