Hermana Margaret fue una gran amiga y una defensora del oprimido. Es muy triste perderla, pero estoy feliz de que el Señor se la llevó mientras estaba descansada y sin dolor. Ella se ganó eso. Hermana Margarita, fuiste un tornado Irlandés para la causa de justicia y ayudaste a tanta gente. Solo espero que Dios te dé una nueva misión allá arriba porque no puedo imaginarte relajándote por mucho tiempo sin algunos dragones que matar. Cuidate.

Sister Margaret was a great friend and a champion of the downtrodden. It is so sad to lose her, but I am happy that the Lord took her while she was at rest and without pain. She earned that. Hermana Margarita, you were an Irish tornado for good and you helped so many people. I just hope God gives you a new mission up there because I can't imagine you relaxing for very long without some dragons to slay. Be well.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently ruled that victims of domestic violence are no longer eligible for asylum in the United States. In line with this reaction from sixteen retired immigration judges, our office will continue to pursue asylum for domestic violence survivors:

"As former Immigration Judges with decades of experience at the trial and appellate level, we consider the Attorney General’s decision an affront to the rule of law. As former judges, we understand that in order to be fair, case law must develop through a process of impartial judicial analysis applying statute, regulations, case law, and other proper sources to the facts of the case. The life-or-death consequences facing asylum applicants makes it extremely important to keep such analysis immune from the political considerations that appointed cabinet members are subject to.

The BIA’s acknowledgment that a victim of domestic violence may qualify for asylum as a member of a particular social group was the culmination of a 15 year process through the immigration courts and BIA. The issue was certified by three different Attorneys General (one Democrat and two Republican), who all chose in the end to leave the final determination to the immigration judges and the BIA. The private bar, law enforcement agencies (including DHS), the BIA, and the circuit courts all agreed with this final determination. What is more, a person who suffers persecution that is perpetrated by private parties whom their government cannot or will not control, is equally eligible for asylum protection under both US law and international refugee treaties.

For reasons understood only by himself, the Attorney General today erased an important legal development that was universally agreed to be correct. Today we are deeply disappointed that our country will no longer offer legal protection to women seeking refuge from terrible forms of domestic violence from which their home countries are unable or unwilling to protect them. We hope that appellate courts or Congress through legislation will reverse this unilateral action and return the rule of law to asylum adjudications. Sincerely,

Honorable Steven R. Abrams Honorable Sarah M. Burr
