President Biden took executive action to suspend asylum claims at the southern U.S. border when unauthorized crossings exceed 2,500 in a week, aiming to remove individuals within days upon crossing.
Migrants crossing unlawfully may only get a credible fear screening to apply for asylum if they express fear of returning. The restrictions will be in place until illegal crossings drop below 1,500.
Biden uses section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Trump did, to implement these restrictions despite expected challenges from immigrant rights groups.
Amnesty International USA's Director criticized Biden's actions, calling them a dangerous precedent against human rights and asylum seekers, leading to the dismantling of legal policies.
