Iranian Christians Should Not Be Detained While Seeking Asylum

ICE began detaining Iranian asylum seekers after the bombing of Iran’s nuclear refinement facilities on June 22. Among them is Shabnam Maleki, a beloved member of the church I pastor in Colorado Springs. Detaining asylum seekers like Shabnam makes it much more difficult for them to access the representation and resources necessary to win their claims. For Shabnam, this is a matter of life and death.
