#shorts On 4/27/2023, a reporter asked Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “The administration announced new centers to progress — sorry — process migrants in Colombia and Guatemala. Can the administration promise that these centers will uphold all humanitarian obligations and access to legal counsel for people who are seeking asylum in the United States?

KJP: … These centers will be opening up in several countries, including Colombia and Guatemala — as you just mentioned, Chris. We expect to announce additional countries soon. It’s all part of our approach to direct people to legal pathways from where they are, rather than seeking generous, disorderly pathways.
We have been very clear: We are going to put forth an immigration process that is humane, that is orderly. That is the goal that we have set forward. That is how we want to move forward in that process and do it very different — differently than it was done in the last administration … I want to say is we want to make sure that it is done in a humane way. That is the President’s — that has been the President’s, basically, sense of how immigration reform is going to move in an orderly fashion. And that’s what we have done. That’s what we have done from day one.
