The Biden administration is reportedly set to introduce a new regulation aimed at tightening asylum access at the U.S.-Mexico border. This rule, expected to be unveiled as early as Thursday, would enable immigration officials to quickly apply asylum bars and deport migrants who are ineligible for U.S. asylum shortly after they illegally cross the border, according to three sources. Senate Majority Leader Schumer emphasized the need for legislative action to address border issues, although he acknowledged the administration's efforts to manage the situation administratively.
