The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has enacted a new policy eliminating the initial interview step for asylum seekers. This change funnels migrants directly into immigration court for deportation proceedings. The rule took effect without a public notice and comment period.

Deter Abuse

The prior system was susceptible to abuse by individuals making non-meritorious asylum claims, overwhelming resources and encouraging illegal entry.

Streamline Process

Directing migrants to deportation proceedings expedites the removal of those without valid claims, reducing backlogs and making the system more efficient.

National Security

Robust border security and an efficient deportation process are essential for national security and maintaining the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.
