For those fleeing persecution and violence, promotes the use of alternatives to detention especially of asylum seeking children and families, humane conditions in detention facilities when they are used, and access to legal services for their asylum claims. The mrj program successfully advocated against the family separation policy, for better protections for unaccompanied minors arriving in the u.S., And for release of families when feasible.
