Bondi Blocks Asylum for Women

Sep 29, 2025

In early September, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced changes in the rules for women seeking asylum in the U.S. from rape, and other such threats. Bondi argues that such persecution is NOT what Congress had in mind when it passed certain asylum regulations. Maybe not, since Congress is primarily males who have not shown themselves sympathetic to changing laws to help women (or men) abused in the U.S.

In the U.S. an estimated three women are killed by their domestic partners every single day.

If this is any indication of what female asylum seekers are facing, they deserve asylum, unquestioned.
