Deputy Managing Attorney of RMIAN's Children's Program Speaks Out Against the Treatment of Asylum Seekers in the Denverite

Emily Brock, the Deputy Managing Attorney of RMIAN’s Children’s Program, spoke to Kevin Beaty from the Denverite about her experience serving families subjected to the Dedicated Docket. RMIAN stands in stark opposition of this policy, which fast tracks immigration cases of families from around the world, with the exception of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, with completion goals of 300 days after their initial hearings. This expedient timeline is a barrier to accessing legal counsel, and as a result, families on the Dedicated Docket have much lower success rates than other asylum seekers even though many of them have strong legal claims for asylum.
