Petitioner, Tarek Dali, entered the United States on or about December 23, 2010, seeking refuge from political persecution he suffered at the hands of the Tunisian government. (cite). He initially sought asylum relief on November 14, 2011; however, the Department of Homeland Security’s (hereinafter “DHS”) asylum office denied his application on January 17, 2013. (cite). On February 11, 2013, the DHS filed a notice to appear and Mr. Dali was subsequently placed in removal proceedings. (cite). Mr. Dali appeared before the immigration court on November 10, 2014, where he renewed his application for asylum relief. The immigration judge (hereinafter “IJ”) held a hearing on the matter and denied Dali’s application for asylum. (cite). The IJ found that in respects to the elements of a refugee, Mr. Dali established that for all the harms he alleged, the government was either responsible for the persecution or abdicated to the actions of the private actors, the harms Mr. Dali suffered were on account of his political opinion, but the harms Mr. Dali suffered in Tunisia did not rise to the level persecution. Therefore, Mr. Dali was not a refugee and consequently not entitled to Asylum. …show more content…
(cite). Mr. Dali asks this court to reverse the failure to meet the level of persecution determination and to remand the case to the BIA with directions that he is eligible for
Ahmed Ali Al-Kateb was taken into immigration detention in accordance with Migration Act 1958 (Cth) s198(1) "an officer" who knows or reasonably suspects that a person in the migration zone is an unlawful non-citizen to detain that person”. On 6 January 2000 he applied for a protection

The Appellant asks for the case to be reopened and reviewed in its decision that is made by order of the Magistrates Court, so for the verdict to be overturned in his favour to be declared as void making the decision an error in
Even if we assume that Shahmaleki does have a property interest in his continued enrollment then there is still no due process issue as the University provided Shahmaleki sufficient process under the law. Students in disciplinary settings are only entitled to “some kind of notice and afforded some kind of hearing”. Students should normally be given notice of the charges, an explanation of the evidence against them and an opportunity to present their side of the story. These are not rigid requirements, though, as due process is flexible and tailored to the specific facts of a case. In determining what is enough process, courts balance the student’s interest in the educational process against the state’s interest in discipline and order. Courts also consider the costs to the University and how more process may impact the educational purpose of the institution. The state’s interest in the balancing test is heightened
The United States has committed ghastly injustices. In the article, “Syrian Refugees: Will American Hearts and Minds Change?” by Rajini Srikanth put the issue of Syrian Refugees in the spotlight. Since, “the US is still actively engaged in the global war on terror,” (“Syrian Refugees: Will American Hearts and Minds Change”) terrorists might try and enter the US to attack important buildings. So, “Governors of 31 states have declared their unwillingness to accept any Syrian refugees.” When, the governors decided to not accept refugees, they committed an injustice against the refugees by going against the US which, then, had said that they would accept refugees. The governors suspected that in the middle of the refugees there were hidden terrorists. In fear they
Unlike in other domestic court proceedings, the US government does not appoint a legal advisor to unaccompanied children seeking asylum; hence, they do not have anyone that advocates for their interest and welfare. Without English skills or a legal advisor, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children and
Recently, concerns have been raised by political figures and the people of Australia regarding the ‘abysmal treatment’ of asylum seekers (Claire Mallinson, 2015). The violations of their human rights in regards to the conditions they are forced to live in inside detention centers show that these centres do not operate within the humanitarian requirements Australia has agreed to abide by. The current process that handles the arrival and subsequent treatment of asylum seekers does not allow the migratory system to properly address the complications that the present circumstances impose. The Universal Declaration Human Rights (1948) (UDHR) and the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention were signed by Australia to recognize its support of these
According to the U.S. Ambassador to Somalia, U.S. immigration agents have targeted around 4000 Somali immigrants for deportation from the U.S. Most of these immigrants are not currently held in detention. Many who have now been targeted are those who have applied for asylum and whose requests for asylum have been rejected.
During the 1980s and 1990s as a result of fearing for their security throughout El Salvador’s civil war, Salvadorans began to immigrate to the United States to find safety away from their native country. Often times, it is in the aftermath of a civil war and not during the actual war itself, that civilians face new threats from delinquents, vigilantes or former combatants (Call and Stanley 2001). Furthermore, refuges did not immediate receive the support needed because the Salvadoran Civil War was backed up by the U.S. It was not until the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act was passed in 1997 that many Salvadorans were offered a legal path to residency, as long as they were registered asylum seekers. Ultimately, by 2008,
The various branches of law provide citizens with structure as a technique to avoid chaos and move forward as a nation. However, a structure exclusive of flaws is impossible to achieve. This being so, law has weaknesses and these weaknesses can prevent a being from making adequate judgments. In particular, Canada’s refugee system is flawed as unjust deportations are taking place. Refugees escape their hometown to depart persecution of some sort and commence their lives in safer countries (“How Canada’s Refugee System Works” 2016, par. 1). The Refugee system in Canada follows a particular set of guidelines regarding how to qualify, apply, and stay in the country. With numerous protection programs, the institute is immense as ruthless decisions
The United States is a country which declares that all men are created equal and that they are given unalienable rights. Unfortunately, the way the government treats immigrants reflects a different understanding of the Declaration of Independence. Immigrants are victims of persecution, banning, and discrimination. For instance, the new policies for immigration include the “Muslim ban.” Several Muslims from six particular nations traveled to the United States, but before they could depart from the airport, the officers did not let them into the country. Even the Muslims with legal residency were prohibited the entrance.
It is noted that, refugees and asylum seekers come to United States due to fear of persecution and also escape war in their country of origin. The main intention of refugees is protection of their family’s lives and therefore, they migrate to another country for the
The proposed study will touch upon treatment of UACs while being detained and then how to maximize the benefits afforded them while being held and released into the custody of known family members or sponsors. Organizations such as the Women’s Refugee Commission have studied several cases to examine the issues that should be addressed for change in order to better aid UACs (Women’s Refugee Commission, 2009, p. 5-35). Other researchers have focused on how to protect UACs while they are seeking to obtain a favorable legal status in this country (Lopez, 2012, p. 1637-1677). Though limited, there are sources that have attempted to evaluate the immigrant experiences of UACs and other
The creation of the United States of America was caused almost solely by refugees seeking a life away from persecution. Nowadays, however, it seems that the topic of refugees has entered a field of uncertainty and doubt. These people, who seek to escape from war-torn zones or for the sake of asylum, are being turned away due to issues that include their religion, race, or custom. Refugees are no longer looked at as people in need but rather people to question, whether for the sake of national safety or prejudice toward one subgroup of people. Countries around the world, including the United States, need to come up with plans to not only help ease the transition of relocation but to help families reunite in such a devastating time.
