The Trump administration will stop granting asylum to victims of gang violence and domestic abuse, Attorney General Jeff Sessions (http://thehill.com/people/jeff-sessions) announced Monday.
“Generally, claims by aliens pertaining to domestic violence or gang violence perpetrated by non-governmental actors will not qualify for asylum,” Sessions wrote in his decision (https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1070866/download?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery).
“The mere fact that a country may have problems effectively policing certain crimes—such as domestic violence or gang violence—or that certain populations are more likely to be victims of crime, cannot itself establish an asylum claim,” he continued.

Some of the silliest reasons to seek asylum. Heck there are people in this country that are victims of gang and domestic violence. Maybe they should also seek asylum somewhere. I know a woman who momentarily divorced the husband so she can use domestic violence reason to get to the states. 10 yrs later, she was able to get the husband fiance visa and the 2 are together now.

Not saying that there arent legitimate cases but it is the most abused green card scheme in the history of asylum application.
