Update on U.S. Domestic Violence Asylum Claims

I posted earlier on U.S. legal developments relating to domestic violence asylum claims. On Oct. 29th, the New York Times reported that "the administration had taken a major step toward clarifying a murky area of asylum law and defining the legal grounds on which battered and sexually abused women in foreign countries could seek protection here." For more background on the case in question, Matter of R-A-, read the summary provided by the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies (CGRS).
