Biden Administration Introduces Fast-Track Asylum Process for Recent Migrants

New initiative aims to expedite immigration cases in five major cities, reducing wait times from years to months.

The new docket will process cases in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City.
The goal is to resolve cases within 180 days, significantly faster than the current multi-year timeframe.
The initiative targets single adults who have recently crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
The Biden administration emphasizes the need for broader immigration reform beyond this administrative step.
Critics express concerns over due process and the potential for rushed adjudications.
