[quote=Anonymous]FARMS forms are due in the fall, which means folks were filling these out in September/October 2024. That's actually plenty of time for folks to decide not to fill out the forms if they are concerned about the political climate, given the degree of anti-immigrant rhetoric that pervaded the 2024 elections. I work with this population, and I can tell you that a lot of people were concerned even before the election, because they felt that their asylum or refugee cases would be impacted by utilizing public resources. So it wasn't just a matter of trusting or not trusting the authorities, it was not wanting to file for any sort of public benefit (even for US citizen children) if it might harm their immigration proceedings.
