After President Biden repealed, but did not replace, President Trump's border security policies, we have all been waiting for the executive branch to provide their own vision for a secure border. A new proposed rule regarding asylum begins to paint a picture that resembles the haunting Munch classic "The Scream." The proposed rule would empower frontline asylum officers as the judge and jury for asylum and other discretionary forms of relief. According to the rule:
"These changes are intended to improve the Departments' ability to consider the asylum claims of individuals encountered at or near the border more promptly while ensuring fundamental fairness."
Notice the rule is not claiming that this will ensure safety or security along with promptness and fairness. Removing judicial checks and balances to asylum approvals will assuredly speed up the process as the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) abdicate their crucial vetting role for the sake of expediency.
