WASHINGTON — The White House ordered new restrictions on asylum-seeking Central American families at the southern border Monday, including charging them to file their claims and barring them from working in the U.S.
President Donald Trump, in a presidential memorandum, called for regulations to be drafted within weeks to accelerate the process of adjudicating asylum claims, setting a fee for asylum seekers to file their claims “not to exceed the costs of adjudicating the application†and effectively barring them from working while the claims are being adjudicated.
