Just hours before a new rule was scheduled to take effect Tuesday that would, the Trump administration started giving officers guidance on how to carry out a radically changed U.S. immigration policy.
According to the internal memos, John Lafferty, the head of asylum at Citizenship and Immigration Services, expressed concern that asylum officers had been repeatedly rushed to implement significant policy changes with little advance notice. The memos instruct officers that starting Tuesday, any migrant who enters, attempts to enter, or arrives in the U.S. across the southern border is ineligible for asylum, with few exceptions. To be eligible under the new rule, for example, applicants must prove that they are victims of “a severe form of trafficking in persons.”
The rule bars the vast majority of current asylum seekers because it effectively renders migrants ineligible if they pass through another country before arriving at the U.S. borderThe guidance also raises the standard officers use to screen claims of fear when an applicant is seeking protection from removal under the Convention Against Torture, making asylum more difficult to obtain.
