"Union and Democrats Warn Biden on Immigration Policy and Border Detentions"

The union representing federal asylum officers has filed a formal comment opposing President Biden's plan to limit some migrants' access to asylum, arguing that enforcing the policy would force asylum officers to break U.S. law and make them complicit in violations of U.S. and international law. The union also opposes the plan because it would erode commitments to providing shelter to those fleeing from persecution, is inconsistent with asylum law, and would undermine the asylum screening process. Biden's plan, unveiled in February, is his latest attempt to deter migrants from entering the U.S. without authorization.
