The Trump administration rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to immigration judges, who could dismiss the asylum petitions.
The Trump administration launched a plan Tuesday to channel hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers directly into deportation proceedings, a change that some attorneys said could lead to people being removed from the United States without a hearing.
Trump officials introduced a rule designed to reduce the 1.4 million asylum cases pending in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of Homeland Security agency that processes immigration applications, by nearly a third. The rule took effect immediately, before the public could weigh in.
In the past, asylum seekers who entered the U.S. legally or were never charged with an immigration violation had the opportunity to apply for refuge in an office before a trained asylum officer. The officer could refer them to immigration court for removal proceedings if they were rejected, or allow them to continue proceedings and potentially get on a path to obtaining U.S. citizenship.
Under the new rule, officials say as many as 444,724 cases could be transferred directly to one of the Justice Department’s immigration judges. Trump officials have empowered judges to dismiss certain cases without a hearing, so attorneys say it is possible that many asylum seekers will be deported without a chance to be heard.
Trump officials said in a statement that the rule is necessary because the asylum system is facing a “crisis.”
“For far too long the asylum system has been exploited for purposes of delay and work authorization, not legitimate claims of protection,” USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow said in a statement. “America’s asylum system exists to protect individuals who genuinely fear persecution and this rule will help ensure that resources are directed to...

They didn’t have a hearing on the way in, so why give them one on the way out? SEE YA!
If it was not abuse turning the USA into the garbage can of the world this would not have happened.
Isn't that what is supposed to happen?
Joe Biden and his band of commie wannabees took all the joy out of Americans accepting immigrants.
What Biden and his filth did was the equivalent of inviting 50 criminals to a family Christmas - where they tore the place apart and killed the grandmother. Illegals are NOT immigrants anymore than thieves are house guests. Eff Biden, his butt boys in the press and the commies who want to destroy the country.
“Isn’t that what is supposed to happen?”
yep, and less than two weeks ago SCOTUS released a SWEEPING opinion that Federal Circuit Courts have zero jurisdiction over any aspect of illegal immigration enforcement ... period ...
I see this rule as a positive outcome.
“Joe Biden and his band of commie wannabees took all the joy out of Americans accepting immigrants.”
Yep
What Biden did was the equivalent of inviting 50 hardened criminals to a family Christmas - where they tore the place apart and killed the grandmother. Illegals are NOT “immigrants” anymore than thieves are house guests.
Good analogy.
Whatever gets them out of the country faster.
and before leftists whine, where was the hearing that allowed them to enter the country in the first place?
There was no "hearing". These "asylum seekers" were given a piece of paper that claimed there would be a "hearing" years, decades, in the future. Thus, with that piece of paper in hand, these "migrants" were then set loose on an unsuspecting population where they could rape, rob, murder and pillage at will.
Oh...and vote democrat of course.
In Europe they now go home for ‘the holidays’ to visit family, and then come back to Europe. Even some of the College-Educated Swedish Women (probably the ones who experienced some ‘cultural enrichment’ first hand) are slowly starting to figure out that something is quite right with this bunch of ‘refugees’.
exactly.
Dress them in MAGA t-shirts give them parachutes and drop them on North Korea.
"Illegals are NOT immigrants anymore than thieves are house guests"
Most of the “Asylum Seekers” violated International Law by not stopping in the first “Safe” country and applying.
Thanks
Please provide a cite or some other info on that.
An internet search says that is a false premise.
some good news
Sounds like a good plan to me. And if the Washington Post is against it, you know it's a good plan.
