Tong Slams New Asylum Rule as 'Willful Ignorance'
Original: ‘Willful Ignorance’ — Tong Joins Opposition To New Rule On Asylum Seekers
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong has joined a coalition of state officials opposing a new federal rule on asylum seekers, denouncing it as an act of 'willful ignorance.' The rule restricts access to asylum protections, and Tong argues it ignores the realities facing people fleeing danger. Opponents say the policy unlawfully curtails long-established rights, while the debate adds to the broader political fight over immigration policy.
Why now: A state attorney general publicly opposing a contested new federal asylum rule keeps immigration policy in the headlines.
