Under the new rule, officials say as many as 444,724 cases could be transferred directly to one of the #DOJ’s #immigration judges. #Trump officials have empowered judges to dismiss certain cases without a hearing, so attorneys say it is possible that many #asylum seekers will be deported without a chance to be heard.
Trump officials said in a statement that the rule is necessary because the asylum system is facing a “crisis.”
The #Trump admin launched a plan Tuesday to channel hundreds of thousands of #asylum seekers directly into #deportation proceedings, a change that some attys said could lead to people being removed from the #US WITHOUT A HEARING.
Trump ofcls introduced a rule designed to reduce the 1.4M asylum cases pending in US Citizenship & Immigration Services ( #USCIS ), the #DHS agency that processes #immigration applications, by nearly ⅓. The rule took effect immediately, before the public could weigh in.
JFC, think of the money he's "saving."
In the past, #asylum seekers who entered
the #US legally or were never charged with an #immigration violation had the opportunity to apply for refuge in an office before a trained asylum officer. The officer could refer them to immigration court for removal proceedings if they were rejected, or allow them to continue proceedings & potentially get on a path to obtaining US citizenship.

The way it should be
Lots of immigrants do no crimes and become an asset to our towns and cities.

Yes, because of the combination of #bigotry and #incompetence, a hallmark of the #TangerineToddler and his administration of #injustice
… “It’s all part of a plan to take legal people & make them illegal,” said Ira Kurzban, one of the attorneys who represented Haitians in the case that went to #SCOTUS. “That’s what they’ve essentially done.”
The #US is a signatory to the 1967 #UN protocol on #refugees, which prohibits member countries from expelling immigrants to nations where they face serious threats to their lives.
#Trump officials, Kurzban said, are betraying that principle & turning the #asylum system into “a joke.”
