US unveils rule that rights groups say stifles access to asylum

Al Jazeera  

Rights advocates say long-anticipated policy is return to hardline Trump-era border curbs, urge Biden to change course. Washington, DC – US President Joe Biden’s administration has finalised a new rule that will make most migrants and refugees arriving at the country’s southern border with Mexico in search of protection ineligible to seek asylum in the United States. They also sounded a death knell for Biden’s campaign promise to take a more “humane” approach to migration than his predecessor, former President Donald Trump, who pursued hardline, anti-immigration measures at the US-Mexico border. “These new asylum restrictions mirrors in large part one of the Trump administration’s harshest anti-asylum policies, the 2019 asylum transit ban—which two separate federal courts struck down as unlawful.” Laurie Ball Cooper, the US legal director at the International Refugee Assistance Project, added, “The Biden administration should be ashamed of pursuing Trump-era policies to unjustly deny protection to people seeking safety in the United States and return them to danger. “The administration must immediately rescind this harmful and illegal rule.” End of Title 42 The Biden administration has been under political pressure to respond to increased arrivals at the country’s southern border with Mexico, as Republican legislators blamed the Democratic president for the influx since he took office in January 2021.
