President Biden is expected to sign an executive order halting asylum claims at the U.S.-Mexico border once daily apprehensions exceed 2,500, effectively shutting down most asylum applications.
The U.S. asylum system, currently burdened with over 1.1 million pending cases, sees asylum seekers wait around four years for a hearing, living in limbo with limited rights to employment and benefits.
The Biden Administration aims to reduce backlog and improve efficiency by implementing this executive order, with humanitarian exceptions for unaccompanied children and trafficking victims.
