Biden administration anticipates border chaos if asylum rule is halted by judges

The Biden administration is urging an appeals court to allow new asylum restrictions to remain in place, warning that halting them would cause major disruption at the border. The restrictions, which make it more difficult to qualify for asylum, have been challenged in court. The administration argues that its approach differs from the Trump era as it provides new legal pathways to enter the country and creates exceptions. However, advocates argue that these policies violate U.S. law on asylum. The court has not yet ruled on the matter.
