Congress Seeks to Void Rule Restricting Asylum Access at the Border.

This resolution aims to immediately cancel a recent immigration rule that restricted asylum eligibility for individuals who did not use "lawful pathways" to enter the U.S. If passed, the rule would have no legal effect, potentially changing border procedures and how asylum claims are processed. Citizens should monitor this process as it impacts border security policy and immigration rules.
Key points
Disapproval of the "Circumvention of Lawful Pathways" rule issued by immigration services in May 2023.
If enacted, the rule limiting access to asylum at the border would be voided, reverting to previous asylum procedures.
