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 ruled that citizens of European Union countries and other nations designated as 'safe' are 'presumptively ineligible' for asylum in the United States. The decision means applicants from such countries must overcome a presumption that they do not face persecution, a significant hurdle in asylum claims from places generally considered to have functioning protections.
Why now: The ruling tightens asylum access for nationals of 'safe countries' at a time when immigration policy is under intense debate.
