This is exciting and hoping to attend the chat live!

I've been noticing a sharp increase in "Release to Removes" overall (60% to 83% of monthly ICE Book Outs pre/post Trump) and an even sharper increase for those with no current or pending criminal charges (45% to 71% pre/post Trump). Would reports like these help decrease those numbers, as asylum cases are more frequently validated with credible evidence? There feels like something pervasive is happening with how IJ's are making decisions.

Aside from research documenting country conditions what other systemic influencing factors are there that could drive the increase mentioned above and will those also be discussed in this chat? If there's prior research happy to self educate if anyone has links to things, I was struggling to find a focused answer to my question.

Will there be a recording available? I have a zoom with AIC same time and same day and want to be able to see both.

"Join...me" not "Join...I" in the poll box.
