The Excerpt · What Trump’s asylum change means for people seeking protection · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

And so those that are actually in immigration detention, especially those without a lawyer, are put in a very difficult situation when they're trying to kind of keep up with the

their upcoming appearances and also just trying to manage their case while they're being held in immigration detention.

Yeah, so I included that example because it really kind of shows the immense risk that asylum seekers face if they're sent back to their home country.

So in that case, in particular, on July 28th, authorities in Guatemala said a man deported from the U.S.

and his wife, who had self-deported to be with her husband, were found dead in a sugarcane field there.

According to authorities, their hands were tied behind their backs and their infant daughter was found near them.

And so the wife had an active asylum case in the U.S.

and with a hearing scheduled for next year.

And that's according to a Missouri worker center group, which the couple were members.

And so there's a lot of questions about this case with like what exactly led to their deaths.

No suspects have been found.

detained, but it still kind of highlights that risk that these asylum seekers face if they are sent back to their home country.

Yeah, so government lawyers and experts say that they do expect legal challenges to this rule.

There was no chance for public comment.

And so overall, looking into the future, we'll have to see how much the administration uses this

as a tool.

We'll certainly be following the cases going through USCIS and trying to see how many are sent directly to the DOJ and immigration court without those crucial initial interviews that people have historically been able to get.

Thank you.
