But there are no new asylum cases, essentially.

Yeah, so I think the biggest two factors affecting asylum cases these days is what you just referred to, which is the asylum ban called the circumvention against lawful pathways that barred people essentially from asylum if they did not use CBP1.

the application to apply for an appointment, which, of course, only allowed, I think, $1,500 a day or something absurd, forcing most people to cross unlawfully. So that's still very much in place. The litigation has been stalled forever. There's no hope of, you know, I don't think there's a movement on that. I haven't seen or heard anything.

Most likely intentionally, because when Trump did a similar ban, it was overturned immediately. So this is like a new strategy that we're seeing where things are just lagging in court.

This is all, I think, strategic. So that circumvention against lawful pathways ban is still very much an impediment. You know, we all, of course, argue that every migrant in Mexico was in danger and thus qualifies for the exception to the CLP that their life was in danger and that they couldn't afford to wait the many, many months for the CBP1 appointment.

But judges, it's been met with mixed reviews. They generally like to see somebody basically near death for the exception to apply. And of course, the immigration bar argues that all migrants are basically under threat of death. I mean, any cartel or even immigration official contact in Mexico could have been a death sentence very easily, as we all know.

So that's a big thing affecting the latest thing that's also being implemented as a result of this Cartel terrorist organization designation is, you know, where it's not just the cartels, it's MS-13 and 10 de Aragua, is that there's a what's called a trig bar that's applied then also to asylum. And the bar is basically about material support of any of these groups.

But it's construed to an absurd degree where even if you made a bowl of food for some Maras under duress or you made payment because your kid was about to be killed. Right. That's considered material support and you're barred from asylum. I wondered if they would do that. Yeah. So we're seeing that, too. Other than that, I mean, I have been fortunate to win asylum for folks under Trump 2.0.
