We flagged this story last week in our news section, but it has not gotten a lot of attention. A Canadian judge has ruled that the U.S. is not a safe refuge for those seeking political asylum. The ruling comes in a case involving whether an asylum seeker coming to Canada via the U.S. may still seek asylum in Canada, or whether they are presumed to have already gotten a fair bite at the apple in the U.S.
Adam Liptak takes a closer look at the ruling in a piece today for the NYT.
