Biden Administration to Implement Stricter Asylum Rules for Certain Migrants

The new regulation aims to expedite deportation for migrants deemed ineligible for asylum, focusing on those with criminal records or security risks.

The regulation, set to be announced Thursday, allows quicker deportation by applying bars to asylum eligibility at initial screenings.
Designed to address national security and public safety concerns, the rule targets a specific group of migrants at the U.S. border.
Critics argue the rule could lead to wrongful deportations, while supporters see it as necessary for managing border security.
The move is part of broader efforts to reform immigration amid fluctuating numbers of illegal border crossings.
Immigration advocates express concerns about the potential impact on migrants' access to legal support during the asylum process.
