Vast wel, hier enige info:
Refugees’ and migrants’ rights
Authorities continued to drastically limit access to asylum at the USA-Mexico border, resulting in irreparable harm to many thousands of people, including children, who were seeking safety from persecution or other serious human rights violations in their countries of origin.3
Border control officials carried out unnecessary and unlawful pushbacks of nearly 1.5 million refugees and migrants at the USA-Mexico border, both at and between official ports of entry, using as a pretext public health provisions under Title 42 of the US Code during the Covid-19 pandemic. Returnees were summarily expelled without access to asylum procedures, legal remedies, or individual risk assessments. Upon his resignation, a senior legal adviser to the US Department of State denounced the mass expulsions of Haitian asylum seekers as constituting unlawful forced returns.
Although the Biden administration exempted unaccompanied migrant children from expulsions under Title 42, US Border Patrol misused an anti-trafficking law to continue to summarily repatriate thousands of unaccompanied Mexican children (over 95% of those apprehended), without providing them with adequate access to asylum procedures or effective screenings for the harm they could face upon return.4
Arbitrary detention
Thirty-nine Muslim men remained arbitrarily and indefinitely detained by the US military in the detention facility at the US Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, in violation of international law. The authorities made little progress in closing the facility, despite the Biden administration´s stated intention to do so.
Excessive use of force
At least 1,055 people were reported killed by police using firearms in 2021, a slight increase from previous years. The limited public data available from 2015 to 2021 suggested that Black people were disproportionately impacted by police use of lethal force. The federal government’s programme to track how many such deaths occur annually remained unimplemented.
In April, the Maryland state legislature passed and overrode the governor’s veto of a use-of-force statute, leaving just six states without such statutes to regulate police use of force. However, no state laws governing the use of lethal force by police – where such laws exist – complied with international law and standards.
The US Senate failed to introduce the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill providing a bipartisan set of proposals to reform certain aspects of policing.
