The Imbalanced Scales of Immigrant Justice

Gulf States Newsroom and Type Investigations: The Imbalanced Scales of Immigrant Justice, investigative reporting that relied partly on data analysis by the Lab team led by Vyoma Raman, Catey Vera, and C.J. Manna. Reporter Bobbi-Jeanne Misick told the story of Cameroonians languishing in United States detention centers after it was determined that the fears prompting their seeking asylum in the U.S. were not “credible.” With initial data assembly and interpretation provided by the HRC Investigations Lab, Gulf States Newsroom and Type Investigations analyzed immigration courts’ asylum decisions between fiscal years 2018 and 2021.
