Dt continued war against asylum seekers and his love of all things moved by Stephen Miller and Gorka is going on steroids this morning.
This morning the trump administration filed a new regulation in an attempt to stop all asylum seekers from Central America.
"Pursuant to statutory authority, the Departments are amending their respective regulations to provide that, with limited exceptions, an alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States across the southern border after failing to apply for protection in a third country outside the alien's country of citizenship, nationality, or last lawful habitual residence through which the alien transited en route to the United States is ineligible for asylum," .
"There are some exceptions: If someone has been trafficked, if the country the migrant passed through did not sign one of the major international treaties that govern how refugees are managed (though most Western countries have signed them) or if an asylum-seeker sought protection in a country but was denied, then a migrant could still apply for U.S. asylum."
The regulation would take effect tomorrow but obviously wouldn't apply to those asylum seekers already in the US.
Other than a lawsuit I am sure will be filed today the only relief I see is Mexico making a blanket denial of asylum making all asylum seekers coming through Mexico still eligible to apply here.
