Many of the people who have arrived in New York City in search of asylum are from Venezuela. Maryann Tharappel, attorney in charge of Immigrant and Refugee Services at Catholic Charities Community Services of the Archdiocese of New York, explains the asylum seeking process. And William Neuman, former New York Times reporter and Andes region bureau chief, now the author of Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse: Inside the Collapse of Venezuela (St. Martin's Press, 2022) discusses the conditions in Venezuela that are leading many people to leave to seek asylum here in the United States.
