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.
