Families fleeing violence are being criminalized at the United States border and refugee arrivals in the country are at an all-time low. Take action now for refugees and asylum seekers.

Despite fleeing violence and persecution in Central America, asylum seekers in search of safe haven are not being welcomed in the U.S. Instead, many are being released without food, water, shelter or guidance regarding the asylum process.This policy is just the latest in a series of attacks on asylum seekers that is fueling a manufactured crisis at the border that local communities, with support from organizations like the IRC, are being left to manage.
