By James Hughes A group called the American Civil Liberty Union has on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the Joe Biden administration in order to stop an executive order that prohibits illegal migrants from seeking asylum in the United States.
The filing argues that the new rules violate US immigration law and the Administrative Procedure Act, which lays out the procedural steps agencies must go through in implementing certain policies.
The lawsuit challenges rules restricting asylum for migrants crossing illegally, citing US law that states migrants can apply “whether or not” they enter at a designated port of entry; the requirement to claim fear, instead of being asked by authorities; the heightened screening standard; and reducing time for attorney consultation, reports CNN.
