"White House Explores Border Expulsion Law, Detention, and Deportation in Talks with Congress"
The Biden administration has indicated its willingness to support a new border authority that would allow the expulsion of migrants without asylum screenings, as well as an expansion of immigration detention and deportations, in order to gain Republican support for aid to Ukraine. The administration's openness to negotiate restrictive immigration changes has drawn criticism from migrant advocates, progressive Democrats, and Latino lawmakers who argue that it would harm the asylum system and give in to extreme demands. The negotiations are ongoing, and it remains uncertain if resulting legislation would be approved in the House.
