NAPA Calls for Fair Review After 94.1% US Asylum Case Denial Rate
The North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) expressed concern over US immigration court data showing a 94.1% denial rate for asylum cases in June 2026. NAPA's Executive Director Satnam Singh Chahal emphasized the need for a fair system that allows genuine asylum seekers adequate time, legal help, and consideration, while opposing fraudulent claims. The high denial rate and recent turnover of immigration judges prompted calls for an independent review to ensure justice beyond case backlog reduction.
