Overview

  • Biden's order restricts asylum for illegal border crossers if daily crossings exceed 2,500.
  • Exceptions exist for those showing credible fear, but standards are stricter.
  • Critics argue the policy mirrors Trump's approach and may face legal challenges.
  • Some border leaders praise the move as necessary, while others see it as politically motivated.
  • The order will be lifted if crossings fall below 1,500 per day for two weeks.
