The United States soon will begin denying asylum to migrants who are caught illegally crossing the United States-Mexico border under a new regulation, according to officials.
The new asylum rule is expected to be finalized by May 11, the same day that a wide-ranging COVID-19 era border restriction, Title 42, is set to expire, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The regulation states that migrants will be denied asylum if they entered another country to reach the United States without requesting protection there, or if they did not use other legal methods to enter the United States.
The new regulation is part of President Biden’s plan to address a surge in illegal immigration following the end of Title 42, which allowed U.S. border agents to quickly expel many migrants to Mexico to prevent the virus’s spread in packed detention centers.
