Biden Administration Escalates Crackdown on Asylum Seekers at Southern Border

HeadlineOct 01, 2024

The Biden administration has further tightened restrictions on the right to apply for asylum, ordering authorities to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border if the number of immigrant apprehensions exceeds a daily average of 1,500. The new asylum ban, which takes effect today, is an expansion of a policy enacted in June that sealed off the southern border when the number of asylum seekers exceeded a daily average of 2,500. As part of the tougher policy, Biden officials are also now counting all migrant children arriving at the border toward the daily average. The ACLU said in response, “This restrictive rule is not just immoral but illegal.”
