"Biden Faces Backlash Over New Asylum Restrictions at US-Mexico Border"

Rights advocates criticize President Biden's new asylum restrictions at the US-Mexico border, calling them the most severe since he took office. The executive order, which limits asylum claims if irregular crossings exceed 2,500 per day, is said to violate US and international law and endanger asylum seekers. The policy includes exemptions for unaccompanied minors and trafficking victims but raises the threshold for asylum eligibility, potentially leading to rapid deportations. Critics argue the measures will force migrants into more dangerous situations and longer wait times for asylum appointments.
