Biden Signs June 4 Executive Order to Restrict Asylum at U.S.-Mexico Border When Crossings Exceed 2,500
Jun 4, 2024, 06:21 PM
President Joe Biden has signed an executive order on June 4 that imposes significant restrictions on asylum claims at the U.S.-Mexico border, taking immediate effect. The order mandates that asylum requests will be halted when daily crossings between legal ports of entry exceed 2,500, and will only resume when the number falls below 1,500. This measure is part of a broader effort to address the ongoing border crisis and is seen as a response to mounting political pressure ahead of the November elections. Since Biden took office, the average daily apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol have been significantly higher than the new threshold, often exceeding 5,500, with current averages at 3,800. Legal and operational advisers have warned that the order may face challenges in court, but the administration is moving forward in an attempt to gain control over the border situation.
