Thread: Immigration Tent Courts at Border Raise Due Process Concerns

“Are you afraid of returning to Honduras?” Judge Clancy asked the woman. A translator beside him repeated the question in Spanish. “Very much,” came the translated reply.


Judge Clancy looked ather application and noted a different response. “One question here says, ‘Do you fear harm if you return to your home country?’ And you checked ‘no.’”


The woman appeared confused. Judge Clancy told her to return to court with a properly completed application on April 15, when a date for her full asylum hearing would be set.

How ridiculous is that? She should have been immediately denied due to the conflicting response. Even to me it's obvious that her answer changed after talking to others and being coached.
