Biden Administration to Cement Sweeping June Asylum Restrictions for Migrants Crossing Illegally
Sep 26, 2024, 08:21 PM
The Biden administration is planning to issue a regulation to cement the sweeping asylum restrictions it enacted at the southern border over the summer. The move aims to solidify stringent asylum policies that have drastically reduced the number of migrants eligible for asylum. The new regulation is expected to make it harder to lift the policy, ensuring the restrictions remain in place through the election and beyond. Officials have indicated that the changes will be implemented next week, making it far less likely for the strict rules to be lifted. This action follows the administration's efforts to maintain control over the U.S.-Mexico border and manage the influx of migrants. According to CBS News, the restrictions were initially enacted in June and target migrants crossing the border illegally, as confirmed by three people with knowledge of the matter.
