Could replacing detention with support transform the US asylum process?
In short: Legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández analyses how US asylum procedures transformed, suggesting we move past our present obsession with confinement and fences.
The video explores how the US asylum process became a complex, high-stakes legal battle where individuals seeking safety often find themselves detained and forced to defend themselves alone. García Hernández questions whether the US can move beyond its current labyrinthine policies and investment in steel doors and barbed wire to instead infuse immigration law with principles of support and justice.
