Dear Reader,

The Refuge is the revival of the IRLC’s monthly newsletter that will brief attorneys, students, and scholars of the trending topics in international refugee and asylum law. The mission of The Refuge is to provide a light, easy-to-read, review of trending news stories and legal developments that will keep readers up to date with refugee and asylum law developments.

Although The Refuge has an international outlook, it’s hard to mention the word “refugee” without discussing President Trump’s executive orders. While, future issues will have a broader variety of articles, this issue will have a heavy focus on the executive orders and discuss its legal and real world impacts.

Thanks for reading, and please take a look at Page 11 for more information about The Refuge and how you can participate.

Sincerely,
Andrew Solis
Vice-Chair, Editor
