AILA and Partners Submit Amicus Brief on Barriers for Detained, Pro Se Asylum Seekers

AILA and partners submitted an amicus brief in the Third Circuit on behalf of petitioner arguing that because detained, pro se asylum seekers face multiple hurdles, including language barriers, inadequate access to phone calls, personal property, or medical care, in presenting evidence to support their claims, the BIA must factor a pro se respondent’s detention into the analysis of whether evidence is “reasonably available.” (B.C. v. Att’y Gen., 8/30/20)
