Victory! Try as it may, the government can’t circumvent the Constitution in an effort to deter and punish asylum-seekers applying for protection.

This ruling will provide much-needed relief for people being detained in cruel and inhumane conditions while going through the asylum process.

Many of you know that PVA was started by Albuquerque Progressives as a locally-based inclusive forum for progressive voters and activists.
