President Biden's sweeping restrictions on asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border have successfully reduced asylum seekers by 50% since June, aiming to strengthen border control.
Migrant activists argue that the policy's new clause, which no longer requires border agents to ask about fear of persecution, is unjust, leading to the deportation of vulnerable individuals.
Administration officials tout improved efficiency among border agents and calmer hotspots, suggesting that the policy change addresses one of Biden's largest political vulnerabilities effectively.
Critics are concerned that the new rules may prevent legitimate asylum seekers from having their cases considered, as migrants must now express fear explicitly to avoid deportation.
