  1. Original Date Announced

    March 19, 2025

    According to documents obtained by Politico, DOS plans to omit sections about women, indigenous people, disabled people, the LGBTQ+ community, and more from its annual human rights report. The 2024 report, expected to be released in spring 2025, is being edited "to get rid of several sections and limit the number of abuse cases under each." These omissions may impact individuals' ability to obtain asylum in the U.S., as asylum officers and immigration judges routinely rely on DOS human rights reports.
