US Immigration Board Rules EU Citizens Presumptively Ineligible for Asylum
Original: BIA: EU Citizens and Nationals of ‘Safe Countries’ Are ‘Presumptively Ineligible’ for Asylum
The Board of Immigration Appeals has determined that citizens of EU countries and other nations deemed 'safe' are presumptively ineligible for asylum in the United States. The ruling, reported by the Center for Immigration Studies, sets a significant precedent for claims from people originating in countries considered to have strong human rights protections. Immigration advocates and restrictionist commentators are weighing its implications for future asylum cases.
Why now: A binding precedent from the top immigration appeals body narrows asylum eligibility for people from European and other 'safe' countries.
