""When I began as a prosecutor, I started in the domestic violence unit," she stressed. "You have my word that we will do everything in our power to fight for victims of domestic violence throughout this country, as I have done my entire career.""
"Bondi directed the Board of Immigration Appeals, the nation's highest court for reviewing such policy, to reconsider two immigration cases-and recommended the court tighten the standards for granting asylum status. In one of the proceedings, concerning a Honduran woman who fled domestic abuse, Bondi reportedly wrote: "Although there may be circumstances when a government's failure to control private conduct itself amounts to persecution," such instances are "few and far between." (Funny, she'd also indicated the Epstein files were few and far between.)"
"Family members, Bondi continued in her ruling, should show more evidence than just biological ties to prove they are part of a group targeted by gangs. (In the second case, a mother and child fled El Salvador a decade ago because of such fears.) The moves are a first for Bondi-who, until Tuesday, hadn't yet used her power to challenge the decisions of immigration appeals courts. Good for her!"
In June during a Senate hearing on proposed Department of Justice budget cuts, Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized her background in a domestic violence unit and pledged to fight for victims. On Tuesday, Bondi instructed the Board of Immigration Appeals to reconsider two asylum cases and recommended stricter standards for granting asylum. Bondi wrote that a government's failure to control private conduct rarely constitutes persecution and said family members must show more than biological ties to prove group targeting by gangs. One case involved a Honduran woman who fled domestic abuse; another involved a mother and child who fled El Salvador.
