Detention and Removal of Asylum Seekers

Detention and removal of asylum seekers refers to the process by which individuals seeking protection from persecution in their home countries may be detained by immigration authorities while their cases are being processed. During this time, authorities assess their claims for asylum. If their claims are denied, individuals can be ordered to leave the country, often referred to as removal. This process raises complex legal and humanitarian issues, as it involves balancing national security, upholding immigration laws, and recognizing the rights and needs of vulnerable individuals seeking safety.
