BREAKING: Trump admin. will move to end asylum protections for most Central American migrants in the government’s latest major attempt to restrict the influx of migrant families coming to the US. nbcnews.to/2XNEY9T
The new rule says asylum-seekers who pass through another country and do not seek asylum there will not be eligible for asylum in the US, according to a statement from DHS. nbcnews.to/2XNEY9T
DOJ and DHS say they are adding a new bar to eligibility for asylum for a migrant “who enters or attempts to enter the US across the southern border, but who did not apply for protection from persecution or torture where it was available in at least one third country outside.”
