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.”

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.

#Asylum seekers could be sent directly to #deportation under new federal rule

The #Trump admin rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to #immigration “judges” [immigration judges are part of the #DOJ not the #judiciary], who could dismiss the asylum petitions.
