Trump to sign executive order revamping policy on asylum seekers: report
By Michael Burke - 11/07/18 05:56 PM EST
President Trump is expected to sign an executive order this week that would revamp U.S. policy on asylum seekers by requiring them to go to ports of entry to apply for asylum, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
Trump could sign the order as soon as Friday morning before he leaves for Paris for a scheduled trip, the Journal reported, citing administration officials.
Those officials also told the newspaper that the plan is for the policy to be temporary, but they didn't provide a specific timeline.
Trump, who in recent weeks has emphasized his hard-line immigration stances, said last week that he was "finalizing a plan" that would deny asylum to people who don't enter at ports of entry.
