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.
