So proud of my colleague Felipe Navarro CGRS testifying before the Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos on ensuring protections for climate displaced individuals.

'All lives are sacred. #SaveAsylum now,' CGRS Legal Director Blaine Bookey says.

As President Biden and Congress consider trading away life-saving asylum protections, we need to make our voices heard.

This video is so telling and disturbing. You mean to say we don’t have resources to welcome and keep people safe? There’s about a 50/1 cop ratio here. This family deserves safety not intimidation and harassment.
