The American Immigration Council filed Freedom of Information Act requests with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of State (DOS) seeking information regarding the signing of an “Asylum Cooperative Agreement” with Guatemala.
The requests seek information about the signing of this agreement, as well as the process by which the U.S. government will evaluate the Guatemalan asylum system prior to sending asylum seekers to that country.
These Freedom of Information Act requests seek to uncover information about the FERM program, which places families enrolled on a fast track to deportations if they don’t pass credible fear interviews.
