U.S. agents began turning back migrants along the border with Mexico under President Biden's new asylum restrictions, while administration officials sought to manage expectations for a drastic reduction in illegal crossings.
Biden's measures impose restrictions on asylum given illegal border crossings exceed an average of 1,500 daily, focusing on deportations as deterrents with acknowledgment of limited detention and deportation capabilities.
Administration aims to increase deportation efforts initially, emphasizing the need for deportations to deter unlawful crossings, but no immediate increase in deportation flights to enhance returns.
