Exclusive:US Writing Plan to Bar Migrant Asylum; Regulation Would Bar Asylum for Illegal Entrants

The Department of Justice, under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is drafting a plan that would totally overhaul asylum policy in the U.S., the Vox website reports exclusively today (June 29, 2018).

Under the plan, people would be barred from getting asylum if they came into the U.S. between ports of entry and were prosecuted for illegal entry.

It would also add presumptions that would make it extremely difficult for Central Americans to qualify for asylum.

Vox has confirmed that the regulation is in the process of being evaluated, and has seen a copy of a draft of the regulation.
