` Under Trump administration reforms, individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. will be denied unless they previously sought protection from the country they are fleeing, with limited exceptions for those who can “establish a reasonable fear of persecution or torture.” The ACLU said the Trump Administration is attempting to “radically” change the immigration system by collecting DNA and other biometrics from immigrants. The DHS and DOJ also proposed a rule concerning unaccompanied minors that will allow for family units to be reportedly detained humanely while meeting goals set by the Flores Settlement Agreement.
Reforms to the U.S. immigration and asylum system are on the cusp of being instituted, according to a White House immigration policy document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Trump administration have pushed reforms concerning asylum, DNA collection, and the processing of unaccompanied minors to final stages before implementation, according to the document. Under these reforms, individuals seeking asylum in the U.S. will be denied unless they have sought protection from the country they are fleeing first.
“The Department of Justice and DHS [Department of Homeland Security] are adopting an interim final rule governing asylum claims in the context of aliens who enter or attempt to enter the United States across the southern border after failing to apply for protection from persecution or torture while in a third country through which they transited by land en route to the United States,” according to the document.
