The Trump Asylum Change That Could Fast Track Deportations A new rule issued by the Trump administration effectively strips thousands of immigrants of their right to a fair hearing and the chance to claim asylum.
Under the guise of streamlining the process and clearing the backlog of 1. 4 million cases, the administration has opened the door for immigration judges to order deportations without additional due process.
The change is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to undermine the asylum system and limit access to protection for those who need it most.
