US President Donald Trump administration begins enforcing new restrictions on who qualifies for asylum
US President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he departs for Baltimore, Maryland from the South Lawn of the White House in Washington US on September 12, 2019.
It would disallow anyone who passes through another country without first seeking and failing to obtain asylum there.The rule will fall most heavily on Central Americans, mainly Hondurans and Guatemalans, because they account for most people arrested or stopped at the border. The Trump administration put the policy into effect the day after the Supreme Court cleared it to do so while legal challenges move forward.
Collins said it will help remove one of the factors that impel people to set out for the United States, "leading to fewer individuals transiting through Mexico on a dangerous journey." The 28-year-old furniture maker said he left his war-torn African homeland after being jailed by police for being part of the English-speaking minority.
Some seeking refuge may get to stay in the United States through other legal avenues, including protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture, but the threshold to qualify is much higher.
