Trump Administration Proposes Major Changes To The Asylum System

The Trump administration proposed a new regulation affecting asylum seekers, requiring them to apply in the first safe country they pass through. Exceptions exist for human trafficking victims and those denied by irrelevant third countries. The rule would allow lower-level officers to deem applications frivolous and restrict applications from those targeted by gangs or with criminal records. Critics argue it makes asylum unattainable. The public can comment before implementation.
