"Assistance will include support for procedures to proactively and properly screen for and provide protection to individuals who would face persecution or torture if returned." "We call on all countries to take a balanced approach to offering access to protection and conducting humane border management activities, like repatriations.""Assisting other countries to instead deport vulnerable asylum seekers back to the dangers they fled would fly against our domestic and international obligations to those seeking refuge from persecution and oppression," Menendez told Axios in a statement.
