In a proclamation, President Trump called illegal immigration “a crisis” and suspended asylum rights to all immigrants who attempt to cross into the U.S. illegally nyti.ms/2DvOUij
Officials said the suspension of asylum rights would be in effect for at least 90 days, but could end sooner if Mexico would sign an agreement allowing the U.S to return those who illegally cross the border from Mexico, regardless of their home country nyti.ms/2DvOUij
For decades, U.S. immigration law has required that officials allow migrants to seek asylum regardless of whether they entered the U.S. legally or crossed illegally. Trump’s proclamation is a radical departure from that tradition. nyti.ms/2DvOUij
