Asylum Seeker Held Without Basics | San Francisco News
Description
A 59-year-old asylum seeker, Alevtina Soboleva, is trapped in a Louisiana detention facility after being detained at a New York airport — her daughter fears for her health as she’s denied medication, water, and even bathroom access. This comes amid a new immigration policy that bypasses asylum interviews, sending cases straight to court — a move critics warn will crush vulnerable applicants. Soboleva’s daughter is fighting to free her, launching a website to rally support, while awaiting court on August 12th — just one of thousands caught in a system now racing to clear a massive backlog, with approval rates plummeting under the current administration.
