BREAKING, Trump Administration Creates New Rule To Drastically Cut Asylum Claims
Published July 15, 2019 at 8:32am
The Trump administration on Monday said it would take steps to make it more difficult for immigrants arriving on the southern border to seek asylum in the United States, putting the onus on them to ask for shelter in other countries.
The Department of Homeland Security, in a statement issued with the Department of Justice, said the interim rule would set a “new bar†for immigrants “by placing further restrictions or limitations on eligibility for aliens who seek asylum in the United States.â€
The proposal would make it tougher for applicants who did not apply for protection from persecution or torture where it was available in at least one “third country†through which they traveled en route to the United States.
