System Challenges Ever Present for Central American Asylum Seekers

In the latest installment of Forum’s series on asylum seeking in the U.S., we’ll take a look at what challenges Central American refugee communities in the Bay Area face. Many struggle to have their cases and stories heard. We’ll also check in on the Central American Minors initiative allowing Central American migrant children to enter the country legally, which the Biden administration revived earlier this month. Community advocates Esmeralda Mendoza of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant and Vanessa Velasco of CARECEN SF join us.
