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.

Last issue, we discussed a great deal about the Trump administration’s executive orders regarding visa issuance targeting certain countries and the refugee program. While the future of American immigration and refugee policy remains a trending and important issue, we are glad to present a variety of international and domestic developments.

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
