US to begin denying asylum at Mexico border, open 100 migration hubs

President Joe Biden's administration on Thursday will begin denying asylum to migrants who show up at the U.S.-Mexico border without first applying online or seeking protection in a country they passed through.It's part of new measures meant to crack down on illegal border crossings while creating new legal pathways, including a plan to open 100 regional migration hubs across the Western Hemisphere, administration officials said.While stopping short of a total ban, the measure imposes severe limitations on asylum for those crossing illegally who didn't first seek a legal pathway. The rule was first announced in February, but the finalized version takes effect Thursday. It’s almost certain to face legal challenges.

[ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ]A group of inmates went on hunger strike in March 2020 — also seeking their release because of fears around COVID-19 — and one detainee refused food in February after catching the disease, according to Solidarity Across Borders.Detainees were held in isolation during the February outbreak and only allowed out of their cells to shower or make phone calls, Van Driel said in a recent interview.Van Driel said visits to the detention centre have been suspended since March 16, 2020, and that because immigration detainees are generally held for a short of period of time, conditions are worse than in prisons or jails.“There’s no programming, there’s no services, there’s no

Nurse questions medical care at immigration jail in Georgia

File photo of federal immigration detention facility. OCILLA, Ga. - An immigration detention center in Georgia performed questionable hysterectomies, refused to test detainees for COVID-19 and shredded medical records, according to a nurse quoted in a complaint filed Monday. The complaint to the Homeland Security Department's internal watchdog relies on accounts of Dawn Wooten, who worked full-time as a licensed practical nurse at the Irwin County Detention Center until July, when she was demoted to work as needed. Wooten calls a gynecologist who works outside the facility "the uterus collector." "Everybody he sees has a hysterectomy -- just about everybody," Wooten said.
