CLINIC Report on TPS for Syria
The Catholic Legal Immigration Network (CLINIC) has released a report on country conditions in Syria and the need for continued Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Syrian nationals. According to CLINIC: “Ongoing armed conflict as well as extraordinary and temporary conditions continue to make the safe return of Syrian nationals impossible. Syria is now in the seventh year of a catastrophic civil war that has shocked the world’s conscience and created the largest refugee crisis since World War II. Civilians in Syria suffer loss of infrastructure and widespread displacement. They are subjected to siege warfare and lack of access to food, water and medical aid. They suffer violence, brutality and torture at the hands of the Syrian government, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, and other actors.”
