United States · United States Congress · 15 July 2019
This resolution states that immigrants and their descendants have made America stronger and naturalized citizens are just as American as those whose families have been in the United States for generations. It also expresses a commitment to keep America open to those who lawfully seek refuge from violence and oppression and those willing to work hard to achieve the American Dream, regardless of race, ethnicity, faith, or country of origin. The resolution strongly condemns as racist the President’s comments about immigrants and those who look to the President like immigrants and states that these have legitimized hatred of new Americans and people of color, including his reference to immigrants and asylum seekers as “invaders.”

Providing Justice for Asylum Seekers Act of 2019 This bill limits when an alien may be removed from the United States in absentia. To remove an alien in a proceeding without the alien present, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must establish that the alien (1) had sufficient written notice of the proceeding; (2) is removable; and (3) has a pattern of failing to report to DHS, if the alien was required to periodically report. Currently, DHS is not required to prove a pattern of failure to report. The bill also gives an immigration judge discretion as to whether to remove an alien in absentia after DHS has established its case. Currently, the judge must remove an alien after DHS has established its case. If an alien is ordered removed in absentia, a motion to reopen the case due to exceptional circumstances leading to the alien's failure to appear at the proceeding may be filed at any time, where currently such a motion must be filed within 180 days of the removal order. The bill also allows a motion to reopen to be filed at any time if the alien is a minor child. If there is a change in the time or place of any removal proceeding, and it is not practicable to provide written notice to the alien in person, DHS must notify the alien and the alien's counsel through the mail. Currently, DHS is only statutorily required to notify the alien or the alien's counsel through the mail.

Strategic and Humane Southern Border Migrant Response Act This bill imposes requirements related to the handling of migrants from Northern Triangle countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) and terminates certain policies requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico before applying and while cases are pending. The President shall report on a plan for processing asylum seekers apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shall establish a task force to implement the plan. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall maintain family unity to the greatest extent possible, unless there is a legal requirement or safety concern requiring otherwise. DHS shall (1) make every effort to ensure that apprehended individuals have access to bathrooms and showers, water, appropriate nutrition, hygiene, and sanitation (currently, the statute only requires access to food and water); (2) establish uniform medical screening procedures for detained individuals and programs that provide alternatives to detention; (3) increase its capacity to care for families and unaccompanied children by contracting with qualified entities and hiring additional CBP officers; and (4) restore a program that allowed certain minors in Northern Triangle countries to apply for refugee status without traveling to the United States. The Government Accountability Office and DHS Inspector General shall audit and conduct uninspected inspections of detention facilities. Any Member of Congress may inspect such facilities without prior notification The Department of State shall work with the United Nations to increase the capacity of Northern Triangle countries and Mexico to handle and care for those seeking refugee resettlement.

Mme Mireille Clapot interroge M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la situation des personnes membres de la communauté LGBT en Tchétchénie. Depuis la fin du mois de décembre 2018, plusieurs dizaines de personnes présumées homosexuelles auraient été arrêtées en Tchétchénie. Deux y auraient perdu la vie après avoir été torturées pendant plusieurs jours. Cette vague d'incarcération et de torture n'est pas la première. En 2017 déjà, des dizaines d'hommes ont été arrêtés, torturés ou tués en raison de leur orientation sexuelle. De nombreux défenseurs des droits humains et LGBT dans le monde parlaient de « purge homosexuelle » au sein de la société tchétchène. En 2018, cette répression a repris suite à l'impunité, voire l'aval des autorités tchétchènes dans la purge de 2017. Nombre des personnes arrêtées entre 2017 et 2019 ont subi des tortures et une confiscation de leur passeport, empêchant tout mouvement et les contraignant à rester dans un territoire où ils sont à la merci des autorités. Fin décembre 2018, l'OCDE dénonçait dans un rapport « l'impunité » du pouvoir politique et judiciaire malgré les « violences très graves » et les atteintes aux droits humains. Elle souhaiterait donc savoir quelles actions il compte mettre en œuvre pour faire cesser cette intolérable situation.

M. Sébastien Jumel attire l'attention de Mme la garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur le coût de l'obtention d'un certificat médical en vue du prononcé par le juge des tutelles d'une mesure de protection juridique à l'égard d'une personne. Selon la législation en vigueur, la demande d'une mesure de protection juridique adressée au juge des tutelles doit être accompagnée, sous peine d'irrecevabilité, d'un certificat circonstancié rédigé par un médecin choisi sur une liste établie par le procureur de la République. Le décret n° 2008-1485 du 22 décembre 2008 précise par ailleurs que le médecin compétent pour délivrer ce certificat reçoit 160 euros à titre d'honoraires. Or, et selon le code de procédure pénal, ce montant fait actuellement partie de la catégorie des « frais assimilés » aux « frais de justice criminelle, correctionnelle et de police », et il est à la charge temporaire de l'État, c'est-à-dire que ce dernier est compétent pour poursuivre son recouvrement. In fine , ce sont donc les demandeurs de la mesure de protection juridique qui auront la charge de ce montant. Cependant, force est de constater que cette somme représente un coût non négligeable pour des familles dont la vie au quotidien est souvent difficile, tant les personnes en situation d'incapacité ont besoin d'aide et d'attention : renoncement à l'emploi, lien de dépendance... Alourdir d'un tel montant cette procédure, qui constitue déjà un cap émotionnel à franchir pour les familles, ne s'inscrit donc ni dans une démarche de simplification des procédures ni dans l'intérêt des majeurs protégés. Comme c'est déjà le cas pour les honoraires des médecins compétents dans le cadre de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers ainsi qu'en matière de droit d'asile, il lui demande donc de mettre ces frais à la charge définitive de l'État.
