The article discusses the impact of Trump administration policies on asylum seekers, focusing on a case involving a woman named Abeba, who fled Ethiopia after witnessing a military killing. Despite international obligations to protect migrants under the UN Convention Against Torture, the administration has effectively restricted access to this protection for thousands. Abeba's situation illustrates the dangerous choices migrants face as they attempt to escape oppressive regimes, further complicated by U.S. policies that have significantly narrowed the asylum landscape at the southern border.
The Trump administration has quietly dismantled access to the United Nations Convention Against Torture for thousands of migrants likely to be tortured if deported.
Abeba, a refugee from Ethiopia, faced imprisonment and beating for witnessing a military killing but her asylum options narrowed after Trump's border policies.
