Thousands of Russians have begun seeking asylum in US
By Nancy Loo and Tom Palmer


Russians and Ukrainians are a tiny fraction of all asylum seekers at the border. But according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse, they are winning their cases at a higher rate than other migrants. “It will be very interesting how the administration will handle this, given that they have flown many Haitian refugees back to Haiti on deportation flights over the last several months,” Syracuse TRAC researcher Austin Kocher said. “That has been controversial for turning those refugees back.” North of the border, many migrants are assisted by the San Diego Rapid Response Network (SDRRN), which reports the biggest groups they currently serve include Russians, Ukrainians and Cubans.
