Forcibly returning a #refugee or #asylum-seeker to a home country where they may face #torture or #persecution will no longer be highlighted, nor will serious #harassment of #HumanRights organizations.

Acc/to an editing memo & other documents…, #State Dept employees are directed to "streamline" the reports by stripping them down to only that which is legally required. The memo says the changes aim to align the reports w/current #US #policy & "recently issued #ExecutiveOrders."

To everyone out there who is #australian, I urge you to please sign this petition! This petition is asking your government to offer asylum to trans and other LGBTQ+ folks, like myself, from the United States. The United States, which is unfortunately where I reside, has become an increasingly hostile place for us queer folk. Even "safe states" are at risk. The situation here has gotten dire, and we're all in grave danger. The sooner we can get out of here, the better. If you're a citizen or resident of Australia, I implore you to please sign this petition located here: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN7163/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJpyPBleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHoyo7CspJ6JF4VGy-iv10i-U_K12zfSyL0BE25dHxP8rvb_Q6-q0FMkBGdnG_aem_ZDZxvPMl32uhZ4jvCwnEWQ

While these court cases flounder, expose, encourage & disappoint, sucking up time, it would be nice if some ally nation offered to give the Garcia family #asylum if Mr. Garcia is released to its custody. Find a way thru all this sadistic weenie wagging impasse & save a life, if it isn't already too late. He would be deported now anyway, just not to El Salvador-- the place he fled to begin with, & not to prison. It would be a hard choice for his wife, expat or not, but hers to make.

#lunatics #asylum #ukpol #geopolitics A timely reminder.
Thanks @knittingknots2 WB Yeats, the prophet

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

The EU lists seven 'safe' countries, tightens asylum rules.

The European Union has published a list of seven countries it considers "safe", in a bid to speed up migrant returns by making it harder for citizens of those nations to claim asylum in the bloc.

Deported From Europe, Murdered by Israel

Gazan brothers Haytham and Bashar spent most of their adult lives in Europe — but after being deported, they returned to Gaza, where they were killed by an Israeli rocket. Their story shows the deadly nature of Europe’s growing anti-refugee policies.
