Published February 6, 2026

“This is not the freedom I sought. This is a prison of fear,” said a CVT client anonymously to the Star Tribune in this article, noting that before fleeing his home country, he saw the same tactics in use, including “checkpoints, warrantless searches, profiling based on skin color or accent and arrests for nothing more than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Scott Roehm, senior director of global justice and accountability, is also quoted saying, “Nobody is safe from what’s happening right now. Nobody. It’s a climate of terror, and you’re seeing more people recognize that.”
