Immigrant Rights Groups Sue to Block Biden Asylum Ban at US-Mexico Border

Biden's executive order tightens asylum rules, tying request limits to daily migrant encounters and introducing a stricter screening standard. The ACLU and others challenge the legality, citing violation of US asylum law.
The new rule sets threshold values for migrant encounters to determine limits on asylum requests, causing immediate restrictions upon its issuance. Legal action on Wednesday disputes its compliance with existing statutes.
The lawsuit contends that the exception criteria for Biden's proclamation are overly restrictive, impacting migrants' ability to seek asylum beyond official entry points.
