The Trump admin. has proposed blocking asylum seekers from the U.S., claiming they pose a public health risk of spreading COVID-19.
The Trump administration has proposed a new rule that would allow it to denyThe soon-to-be published rule would let the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice to block immigrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. based on"potential international threats from the spread of pandemics," according to a notice announcing it Wednesday.
The rule would apply to immigrants seeking asylum and those seeking"withholding of removal" — a protected immigration status for those who have shown they may well face danger if returned to their home countries. The determination of whether migrants pose a public health risk would be made at the"credible fear" screening — essentially the first interview of the application process to determine an immigrant has a credible fear of returning to their home country — not in immigration court.
The credible fear interview transcript of an asylum seeker in the gated compound where she lives two hours outside of San Salvador, El Salvador on Sept. 6, 2018."The United States has among the highest COVID-19 infection rates worldwide, so the real threat of COVID-19 is not outside our nation’s borders but within them," said Jennifer Minear, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
Minear stated she considered the proposed rule a move to create a"backstop" in case the courts strike downJulia Ainsley is a correspondent covering the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
