The Outsourcing of Asylum: How the Remain in Mexico Program has Undone the U.S. Asylum System

Maggie Roache centered her capstone project on the "Remain in Mexico" program and the impact which it has had on asylum seekers and human rights practitioners at the US/Mexico border. She produced a 30-minute podcast based off the synthesis of numerous reports on "Remain in Mexico" as well as six interviews which she conducted with human rights practitioners who have spent the last few years working directly with migrants, often at the border. Her experience as a volunteer for Al Otro Lado and as a student in HUMRTS 108- "Advanced Spanish Service-Learning: Migration, Asylum, and Human Rights at the Border" largely informed her passion for this project, where she hoped to center the voices of communities affected by this immigration policy.
