Border Patrol agents in the U.S. have been accused of denying asylum access to Mexican families fleeing violence, according to a new Human Rights Watch (HRW) report.
These actions reportedly violate both U.S. and international human rights laws, which guarantee the right to seek asylum and humane treatment while in government custody. HRW's findings are based on interviews conducted in October 2024 with 40 Mexican asylum seekers who were expelled to Nogales, Mexico.
