Two senior national civil society networks publish latest data on COVID-19 spread and containment in Italy's reception centres. The reports covers results from a study conducted between June and October 2020 and highlights improvements in the isolation of infected migrants, testing and transfers across centres, and initiatives targeting minors. However, major criticalities remain in managing staff and migrants, as well as in coordinating with healthcare authorities and in putting in place and following clear protocols. The report features data on cases reported among staff (5,6%) and migrants (4,2%). | Europe | |

Italy passed a law reforming the national migration and asylum system. The Decree Law 130/2020. The new law re-establishes in Italian law the residency permit on humanitarian grounds, that Salvini abolished in 2018, now called “special protection. It also provides for personal services including psychological assistance and Italian language courses, which should be provided for asylum seekers at initial and special reception centers. In addition, the law, through the establishment of the System of Reception and Integration (SAI), returns to the 'widespread' model that over the years showed very positive results in terms of social inclusion. Finally, the right to residency for asylum seekers is restored, ensuring them effective access to essential services," the UN agency said. | Europe | |

On May 19, U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., announced that the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general had launched an investigation into ICE’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic inside immigration detention facilities. 20/03 March the Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued an order which prohibits the entry of certain individuals who need processing at the Mexican and Canadian Borders. This includes asylum seekers. The order was extended for 30 days in April. 19/05 This policy has now become indefinite until coronavirus ceases to be a public health threat. POLICIES ICE has released around 900 detainees and a further 350 have been released through the courts. 81% of detainees are held in private for-profit prisons, many which have donated to the Trump Campaign. Due to litigation to reduce the number of people in the detention centers transfers have been accelerated increasing the spread of Covid-19. Under Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) asylum seekers can be returned to Mexico while they wait for their claims to be processed. This has created a number of informal camps at the border. Many asylum seekers under the MPP who are waiting at the border have had their court dates pushed back to April 2021. DEPORTATIONS There were 232 likely ICE Air deportation flights to Latin America and Caribbean countries between February 3, 2020 and April 24, 2020. 15/03 - 24/04 it seems that there has been 21 deportation flights to Guatemala; 18 to Honduras; 12 to El Salvador; six to Brazil; three each to Nicaragua, Ecuador, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic; and one each to Colombia and Jamaica. Deportation flights from the US have carried people who have tested positive for the virus. These flights have gone to Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia and Haiti. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E) is speeding up deportations which included that of unaccompanied minors. Many of the people who are deported have COVID-19 and are bringing it back to the countries which they left, with reports that 75% of deportees on a flight to Guatemala were infected. The U.S. is in the process of deporting 130 people to India. 1000 children have been deported since early March. Children are now being deported much faster than before without the procedural safeguards usually in place. Children as young as 8 are being deported without telling guardians and attorneys and showing up in Honduras with no one being aware. Guatemala the only country who has spoken out against the flights is the only country not receiving ventilators. RESETTLEMENT 08/05 Under a deal between the U.S. and Australia three refugees were resettled from immigration detention in Australia to be resettled in the U.S. Two are Sudanese and one Pakistani. They have been resettled in Tennessee, Maryland and Pennsylvania. A small number of extremely vulnerable refugees to enter the United States since the suspension of refugee resettlement on March 18, 2020. From April 1-24, 27 cases were resettled in the United States, 25 of which were religious persecution cases. As mentioned, Special Immigrant Visas for Afghanis and Iraqis escaping persecution in their countries because of their affiliation with US forces were excluded from the proclamation suspending the admission of most legal immigrants, which President Trump signed April 22, 2020. LEGAL CASES 12/06 Al Otro Lado, along with The University of Chicago Law School Edwin Mendel Legal Clinic, filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for their failure to provide records of their Covid19 procedures at Otay Mesa and Adelanto Detention Centers and border patrol stations in California. 13/04 Reps. Cory Booker (Dem - NJ) and Pramila Jayapal (Dem - WA) introduced legislation in Congress which would move immigrants out of detention and halt immigration enforcement against 'low-risk' individuals during the pandemic. A Judge has ordered that ICE consider releasing detainees that are vulnerable to COVID-19. 01/04 a coalition of civil rights lawyers filed a federal lawsuit against ICE and specific detention centers' wardens to demand the immediate release of 17 detainees in Louisiana, Mississipi and Alabama centers. The plaintiffs are all at higher risk of contamination and death due to the Covid-19. The US District Court of Eastern Louisiana determined it did not have jurisdiction over the matter, given that the various centers were not in Eastern Louisiana, only the ICE New Orleans Field Office. Separate lawsuits have been filed following this decision. The ACLU has filed federal lawsuits across the country. See state blocks for details. REACTIONS About the indefinite extension of the policy closing the border and deporting asylum seekers, Charanya Krishnaswami, the Americas advocacy director of Amnesty International, added on Twitter that "every which way you look at it, from public health to human rights, from our domestic laws to our international treaty obligations, this order is ill-advised and unlawful - pure xenophobia masquerading as a public health measure." | North America | |

The report looks specifically at how the NRPF condition, applied to grants of leave to remain, affects children and families. It compiles data from a number of sources including interviews with parents, analysis of TCS case files and analysis of Home Office and NRPF Network data to provide some further insights on what we know about the scale of the issue and how families are affected. Although the research was mostly conducted before the pandemic, the report highlights the risks for families now, including lack of access to the benefits safety net as well as problems for families as they try to renew their leave and later down the line. As well as the NRPF condition, the report also considers the combined effects of the ten-year route to settlement and HO fees and health surcharge. | Europe | |

The government relaxes the lockdown measures with a multi-phase plan: The first phase is a daily curfew from 5 AM till 5 PM and will remain in place from Feb. 8 through Feb. 22. Individuals who wish to leave their residences will be required to apply for an e-permit. The government launched a platform for stores and other services to acquire a permit to operate during the curfew hours and citizens require an e-permit from the same platform in case they needed to visit (during the curfew) any of the stores or service that have already acquired permit to operate. Citizens are being updated with any new rules through SMS, also they are being provided with Pdf files that explain the new measures, how to acquire the e-permit and how is required to get a permit. | Asia | |
