LISTEN: Asylum and Family Separation Briefing Call

The Trump Administration has made changes to our country’s asylum policies that are intended to shut our doors to people seeking safety. In response, HIAS has stepped up our efforts to help asylum seekers. We are providing more free legal aid and volunteer support, leading delegations to the border, and mobilizing our supporters to take action around the country.
