Thomas McDonnell, Professor of Law at Pace University, discusses how the Trump administration has taken steps to criminalize the act of seeking asylum in the United States. Professor McDonnell is the co-author of a recent study in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review, entitled “Enter at Your Own Risk: Criminalizing Asylum Seekers,” and tells Bob Herbert how these latest policies go against the 1951 Geneva Refugee Convention, and put asylum seekers directly in harms way.s
