The Biden administration announced a new asylum rule to improve and expedite the process for immigrants subject to expedited removal. The new policy is scheduled to take effect in August.
For their part, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) indicated that the new rule “will ensure that those who are eligible for asylum receive relief quickly, and those who are not, are quickly removed.”
In addition, this rule authorizes asylum officers at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), who evaluate each case presented at the border, “to consider asylum applications from persons subject to expedited removal who claim fear of persecution or torture, and pass the required credible fear assessment.”
