Ending "Catch and Release": New Rules for Asylum Seekers
This act introduces significant changes to how asylum seekers are handled at the U.S. border. Its primary goal is to limit the immediate release of such individuals into the United States. Instead, these individuals will be detained or returned to a contiguous country for their asylum applications to be processed, potentially impacting immigration procedures and border security.
Key points
Asylum seekers will not be released into the U.S.; instead, they will be detained or returned to a contiguous territory.
Criteria for assessing the credibility of asylum claims have been changed, potentially making it harder to obtain asylum.
A requirement has been introduced to remove an alien within 72 hours or detain them until removal if not possible.
