Practice Advisory: Considerations in Asylum Claims for Transgender People

The National Immigration Project has partnered with Immigration Equality, Oasis Legal Services, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and Ready to Stay to create a practice advisory on framing transgender asylum claims in light of the administration’s attack on transgender individuals. In addition to the practice advisory, the National Immigration Project, Immigration Equality, and Ready to Stay have created a Template Legal Brief for transgender asylum applicants.
