In June, the then Minister of justice Jeff Sessions announced that domestic violence and violence by criminal gangs, there is no reason for a right to asylum be more. “The status of Asylum offers no remedy for every misfortune,” said Sessions at the time. Against this decision, twelve asylum-seekers from Central America, where the deportation threatened to complain, with the support of human rights groups.

the judge Sullivan gave to the plaintiffs and suspended the new rules. He also ordered the cancellation of deportation decisions for the twelve plaintiffs, as well as the recovery of already deported asylum seekers.
