abstract="This case seeks to demonstrate the value of remote evaluations conducted by health professionals for the purpose of applying for humanitarian parole. In this case, a survivor of labor trafficking, kidnapping, and sexual violence in her home country endures ad-ditional physical and psychological suffering after experiencing physical and sexual assaults while awaiting entry into the United States to seek asylum. As increasing numbers of mi-grants seeking protection arrive at the United States' southern border, immigration enforce-ment deterrence policies keep many asylum seekers in limbo. Remote evaluations con-ducted by health professionals to document physical and psychological disorders for the purpose of applying for humanitarian parole can help to prioritize the most vulnerable cases (Mishori et al, 2021).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
