Asylum Limitations for Transit Through Third Countries
This bill aims to limit asylum eligibility in the United States for individuals who have traveled through other countries where they could have sought protection. These changes could impact asylum processes and access to protection for some individuals entering the U.S.
Key points
Asylum seekers who transited through other countries where protection was available may face limitations on their ability to claim asylum in the U.S.
Exceptions apply to victims of severe forms of human trafficking and those who only transited through countries not party to key refugee and torture conventions.
Decisions regarding removal to a third country will be made by the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security.
