Migrants utilizing loophole in Biden’s border action
Story by Jorge Ventura • 12h
(NewsNation) — Migrants are utilizing a loophole in President Joe Biden’s executive action at the southern border, which includes an exception where a migrant could avoid deportation if flights back to their home country are limited.
The executive action, which aims to restrict the number of people coming over the southern border, bars migrants from being granted asylum when U.S. officials deem the border is overwhelmed. The order goes into effect when the number of border encounters between ports of entry hits 2,500 per day, according to senior administration officials.
The restrictions on asylum claims would remain in place for an additional 14 days once daily encounters at the border fall to a seven-day average of 1,500 or less.

The border plan includes an exception for “operational considerations,” where migrants from certain nationalities could avoid deportation if flights to their home countries are limited.
The executive action prioritizes removing migrants from the Northern Triangle countries: Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
