Quick Glance: Court blocks Biden administration's policy limiting asylum for migrants
  • A federal judge blocked a rule that allows immigration authorities to deny asylum to migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border without applying online or seeking protection in a country they passed through.

  • The new rule imposes strict limitations on migrants seeking asylum but allows for exceptions and does not apply to unaccompanied children.

  • Critics argue that the rule is essentially a newer version of two efforts by President Donald Trump to limit asylum at the southern border.

  • The Biden administration stated that the asylum rule is a key part of their strategy to balance strict border enforcement with providing multiple avenues for migrants to pursue valid asylum claims.

  • Migrants gathered on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border in anticipation of the end of Title 42, rushing to cross ahead of the strict new asylum rules that will replace it.

  • According to two anonymous federal officials and the Border Patrol union, a record number of up to 28,000 migrants were detained at U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities, well beyond capacity.

  • The busiest border detention facilities are located in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and two areas in Arizona, as reported by Border Patrol union President Brandon Judd.

  • Hundreds of thousands of migrants have been quickly expelled to Mexico under Title 42 since March 2020, with this policy ending at midnight.

Quick Glance: Migrant Rush Expected Near US-Mexico Wall as COVID Ban Expires
  • This week, hundreds of migrants have gathered in Tijuana, a border city near the sprawling wall that divides Mexico from the United States.

  • The COVID-19 policy, known as Title 42, which blocked people crossing from seeking asylum, will expire at midnight on May 11, prompting a rush of migrants to the border. The migrants are waiting under black plastic or makeshift tents to cross into the U.S.

  • According to activists, queues of migrants have already formed in the city of Tijuana, which borders San Diego, California. They hope to position themselves ahead of a potential rush in asylum applications after May 11.
