Synopsis of the Mass Migration Presidential Proclamation and Asylum Interim Final Rule
By Andrew R. Arthur on November 9, 2018
On November 9, 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) adopted an interim final rule that bars aliens from receiving asylum if they are subject to a presidential proclamation suspending or limiting entry into the United States across the Mexican border.
That day, the White House issued a Presidential Proclamation Addressing Mass Migration through the Southern Border of the United States. It suspends and limits entry into the United States by aliens who enter after that date illegally, between the ports of entry. The purpose of the proclamation is to channel aliens without entry documents seeking asylum to the ports of entry.
