Biden's New Asylum Rule Puts Decisions in Hands of Bureaucrats Instead of Judges

The Biden Administration has issued a new rule that will allow ‘asylum officers’ to adjudicate the claims of potential asylees at the southern border; immigration court judges in the past have typically held this role.

According to the administration, the new process is an effort to shorten the amount of time between illegal aliens crossing the border and a ruling on whether they should be deported or allowed to seek asylum. In turn, this process is also being sold as a way to diminish the 1.2 million case backlog in the U.S. immigration courts.

Under this new policy, ‘asylum officers’ will be able to grant protections to any illegal aliens who claim a credible fear of returning to their home country after illegally crossing the southern border; the protections will allow the aliens to bypass the immigration courts altogether.
