Immigrant rights organizers in Michigan are pushing for the incoming Biden administration to undo the policies of the Trump administration.
Organizers with Michigan United brought together a number of people from the state affected by immigration policies in the U.S.
“As an asylum recipient, I am joining other families in asking President-elect Biden and congress to undo the harms and de-humanization the Trump administration has brought to the asylum process,” said Elouise Garley, a U.S. citizen living in Michigan, who’s originally from Liberia.
Garley says she obtained her citizenship after her husband was granted asylum in the U.S. following the Liberian civil war.
