this Trump administration The rule book was quietly rewrite this month for illegal immigrants seeking asylum in the United States, making it harder to win cases and easier for judges to fire them while eliminating the motives of immigrants even trying to try.
These changes occurred in a series of immigration court rulings.
Attorney General Pam Bondi The issuance ruling tightens the protection, Committee appeals The majority of illegal immigrants are forbidden from winning Bond release and allow the shelter claimed by judges to “premature birth” the shelter.
Previously, judges had to hold a hearing that could last several hours, even if it was clear from the outset that immigrants had no hope of winning asylum.
Together, these rules narrowly illegal immigrants win the opportunity to deport.
Former immigration judge Andrew “Art” Arthur said people with strong cases should be able to win asylum faster. Those who make fraud or false claims will be denied and even faster.
He said last week’s decision allowed judges to speed up cases without a chance of success, which was “a game changer.” It effectively creates a form of summary judgment, a standard procedure for regular courts in the immigration court system.
“It’s a huge time saving,” said Mr. Arthur, who is now at the Center for Immigration Research.
While most of the focus of immigration law enforcement is on the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice plays a crucial role by overseeing immigration courts, which have deported orders and orders to deport people indoors in the country.
Over the past decade, courts have become the soft background of the system. Immigrants believe that filing a false asylum claim could delay deportation for years, giving them a foothold in the United States.
The situation in the Biden administration has deteriorated exponentially. Of the 1.5 million cases at the end of the fiscal year 2020, trial cases soared to more than 4.2 million in the second half of last year.
this Trump administration As of July, the figures were cut to 3.8 million, while the judge’s case was completed at more than twice the rate. The decline in new cases reflects an amazing quiet border.
A senior Justice Department official said the changes will be done more.
“The Biden administration’s non-enforcement of the law has resulted in a backlog of explosions and has inspired more illegal immigrants. These decisions reflect the Attorney General’s commitment to reverse these trends and follow written enforcement of immigration laws,” the official told the Washington Times.
Immigration rights advocates warn that some of these changes will undermine immigration. For example, bond policies may force many people to decide between long-term detentions or accept deportations they do not want.
The decision applies to those who jumped into the boundaries in a formal way, entering the interior without inspection.
Previously, asylum seekers could be released on Bond if an immigration judge had no serious criminal record and was not considered dangerous or flight risk. In the ruling of September 5 Committee appeals Saying that they can be treated like newcomers at the border means no bonds because they are not officially recognized.
“this bias The long-standing decision to remove the bond hearings of immigration judges will bring millions of people, many of whom have lived and contributed to our country for years without a fair judicial review of the case,” said Sui Chung, executive director of U.S. immigration justice.
Ms. Bundy’s decision in two immigration cases, under her power to serve as attorney general, led to changes in asylum standards.
She said claiming fear of gangs coming home is not enough to gain asylum. She said fear of domestic violence is not qualified.
Both decisions mark the first return to policy Trump administrationAttorney General Merrick Garland overturned this during the Biden administration.
The Bondi revival frustrated the radicals.
“It’s the Trump Justice Department’s blatant power,” said Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Research at the University of California Law School in San Francisco, which involved litigation related to years of litigation.
Ms Musalo said some immigrants, especially women and families, are eligible for asylum, but others will return to dangerous situations.
this Trump administration Dozens of immigration judges have been reportedly fired, especially those granted asylum.
These include members appointed by democracy Committee appealswhich may lead to changes this month.
