The United States will expand the processing of asylum
applications from the “Stay in Mexico” program to cases that have already been
closed or that were dismissed by the administration of President Donald Trump,
the Department of Homeland Security, DHS, confirmed to The Associated Press.
The new measure will be launched this Wednesday and will
benefit at least 10,000 people, estimated Michele Klein Solomon, regional
director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Central
America, North America and the Caribbean, one of the agencies of the UN that
collaborates in this process.
As DHS explained in a brief message sent to the AP, the
measure is part of an "ongoing effort to restore the safe, orderly and
humane processing" of asylum seekers at the border with Mexico and will
benefit people with cases "that were given for terminated or they were
dismissed in absentia ”, that is to say, whose cases were closed because the
migrants did not appear for the hearings.
