Politics – Border agents to halt deportations under Trumps asylum ban

[osint]

A federal court order has compelled U.S. border agents to halt deportations under President Trump’s asylum ban and instead process migrants under existing humanitarian protections.

In a federal appeals court’s ruling that President Trump’s asylum ban cannot be used to fully suspend humanitarian protections, Customs and Border Protection instructed agents to halt deportations conducted under the ban. Migrants must be processed under U.S. immigration law, allowing asylum claims and expedited removal proceedings. The court held that migrants cannot be deported to countries where they might face persecution or torture. CBP said it will continue to detain illegal entrants and seek rapid removal consistent with law.

Wonder how much this will really slow things down? Find out where they’re from, if not from an identified country that we’re allowing asylum from, just say no.

That “might” is a pretty loose word. I “might” face persecution here in the US. Unenforceable.
