Denise Gilman

Denise Gilman is the co-director of the Immigration Clinic at the University of Texas in Austin, where she advocates for fair and thorough immigration processes, particularly for asylum seekers. She has been involved in extensive interviews with Afghan asylum applicants, emphasizing the rigorous vetting procedures they undergo, contrary to claims suggesting a lack of scrutiny during their relocation to the U.S. Recently, her insights were highlighted in the context of the Trump administration's sweeping changes to immigration policy following a tragic incident involving Afghan nationals.
