New US border policy poses risk to fundamental rights, warns UN's Türk

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% :Those most in need of asylum, and those in vulnerable situations are unlikely to meet the restrictive requirements to be granted humanitarian parole, including having a financial sponsor in the US, he noted.
49% : He explained that Title 42 has already been used by US immigration officials 2.5 million times at the southern border, to expel people to Mexico or their home country, without assessing what risks they faced as a result of being returned.
48% : But he insisted that the measure "should not come at the expense of fundamental human rights, including the right to seek asylum and the right to an individual assessment of protection needs".
45% : Mr. Türk stressed that seeking asylum "is a human right, no matter a person's origin, immigration status, nor how they arrived at an international border.""These measures appear to be at variance with the prohibition of collective expulsion and the principle of non-refoulement," the OHCHR chief said.
