Episode 9: Understanding The Asylum Process

Listen to episode 9 - part of the Understanding Refugee Resettlement Series - Understanding the Asylum Process. In this episode I talk with Attorney Kelly Parks and Doctoral Student Roberto Fernandez Morales on their experience supporting women and children at the Texas/Mexico border in preparing for their credible fear interviews. We discuss conditions at the detention center, explore the ins and outs of a credible fear interview, and analyze how our current system sets people up for failure. Trigger warning, we discuss sensitive topics related to violence and persecution that listeners may find disturbing. We also use language that may not be suitable for all listeners.
