US EditionTrump suspends asylum system, leaving immigrants to face an uncertain future
- Asylum-Seekers from countries including Russia, Eritrea, Guatemala, and Afghanistan continue arriving at the U.S. Southern border seeking protection in 2025.
- The asylum system was suspended on January 20, 2025, by President Trump as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration he described as an 'invasion' of the country.
- This suspension canceled tens of thousands of scheduled asylum interviews, led to rapid deportations often after brief interviews, and forced some migrants into detention facilities abroad, such as in Costa Rica and Panama.
- Illegal border crossings peaked near 10,000 arrests daily in late 2024, then declined significantly after Trump’s return, while legal challenges and rights groups call the asylum suspension unlawful and unprecedented.
- The resulting situation remains unclear and unstable as many asylum-seekers face deportation without hearings, lawyers report silence in calls for help, and migrants struggle with uncertain futures and legal processes.
