Ruling in Doe v. Mayorkas Ensures Individuals Seeking Asylum and Forced into MPP Can Continue Their Fight for Access to Counsel

District Court Judge Dana Sabraw rejected the Biden Administration’s attempt to indefinitely stay or dismiss Doe v. Mayorkas

This week, Judge Dana Sabraw rejected the Biden Administration’s attempts to indefinitely stay or dismiss Doe v. Mayorkas, a case challenging the government’s practice of denying access to counsel to people fleeing persecution who are forced to undergo nonrefoulement interviews along the California-Mexico border in order to be able to pursue their case for asylum in the United States, under to the Trump-era “Migrant Protection Protocols” (MPP). Represented by the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law and the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties, plaintiffs, Cristian and Diana Doe, can continue their legal fight for access to counsel in nonrefoulment interviews, which determine whether individuals in MPP who fear harm in Mexico will be allowed to pursue their asylum claims from inside the United States or instead returned to danger. This week’s order comes in response to the government’s request to have the case indefinitely stayed or dismissed as moot just weeks after its reimplementation of MPP along the California-Mexico border.
