Asylum 101
What exactly is asylum? Who is eligible? What is the legal process and how long does it take? Are asylum-seekers legal immigrants or are they here without permission? What are their rights and responsibilities?
As New York City grapples with the demands of an increase in immigrants bused-in from the border, we need to have a clear picture of Federal and local laws that affect asylum seekers.
Join an attorney, a social worker, and a justice advocate from Cabrini Immigrant Services of NYC to learn the basics of the asylum process. Go home with a clearer picture of what’s going on in NYC and across the country today… and some ideas on how you can help.
