One year ago, Jeff Sessions (then Attorney General) denied asylum to Ms. A.B., a woman from El Salvador who bravely sought protection in the United States after enduring over 15 years of extreme physical, sexual, and psychological abuse from her ex-husband in El Salvador.
In his ruling, known as Matter of A-B-, Sessions overturned a landmark legal precedent that had affirmed the right of domestic violence survivors to seek asylum, characterizing these harms as “private” matters that our government does not have a responsibility to address.
He used Ms. A.B.’s case to undermine access to protection for countless asylum seekers fleeing gender-based violence, gang violence, and other harms.
On June 11, we are calling for Matter of A-B- to be overturned once and for all, and for our government to respect the rights and dignity of asylum seekers. Join us and stand with women seeking asylum so that they may survive, and find the safety and justice that all women deserve.

Hace un año, Jeff Sessions, quien era el Fiscal General de EE. UU. en ese tiempo, negó el asilo a la Sra. A.B., una mujer de El Salvador, quien valientemente buscó protección en los EE. UU después aguantar más de15 años de abuso físico, sexual y psicológico a manos de su marido.
En su decisión en caso conocido como Asunto de A-B, Sessions revocó un precedente nacional, el cual había resuelto un debate en Estados Unidos al establecer que las sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica merecen protección bajo nuestras leyes. Según la opinión de Sessions, las mujeres inmigrantes como ella generalmente no pueden mostrar que son elegibles para recibir asilo porque la violencia doméstica es un problema privado que el gobierno estadounidense no tiene la responsabilidad de resolver.
Sessions uso Asunto de A-B para negar acceso a protecciones para muchas solicitantes de asilo que escapan vioOn Tax Day, we want to remind you that if all undocumented immigrants were deported, next year’s Social Security trust funds would have approximately $13 billion less for benefit payouts. That is a considerable loss of dollars, especially when it is projected that the Social Security funds will be depleted by 2034.
