The Biden administration is implementing *** new asylum rule that's set to take effect Thursday, may 11 at 11 59 PM. The minute title 42 ends. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the rule presumes those who do not use lawful pathways to enter the United States are ineligible for asylum. There are exceptions for unaccompanied Children, people who were given permission to travel to the United States seek parole, those who applied for asylum in another country but were denied and anyone who can prove it was not possible to use the CBP one app to apply due to *** technical issue, language barrier or other reason. We are already seeing high numbers of encounters in certain sectors. This places an incredible strain on our personnel, our facilities and our communities with whom we partner closely. Our plan will deliver results but it will take time for those results to be fully realized. The Biden administration is moving additional resources to the border ahead of title. 42 s end, 1400 DHS personnel and 1500 troops are being put in place to support border patrol agents. The state Department is opening what they hope will eventually be 100 regional processing centers in Latin America where migrants can apply to legally enter the United States, Canada or Spain Dhs announced that anyone who fails to use *** legal pathway to enter the country will have *** five year ban on re entering the smugglers control the migratory paths. We will cut the smugglers out. We will reach qualifying individuals where they are and provide them with *** safe and orderly pathway. If they arrive at our southern border, they will meet consequences. The Biden administration blamed congressional inaction for the current surge but Republicans on Capitol Hill say the president rolled back policies like remain in Mexico and title 42 that were successful under the previous administration. Unless they put something else in its place to plug that hole, you're going to continue to see more and more people encouraged by the prospect of being able to successfully make it across the border into the interior of the United States. The numbers show illegal immigration is already surging even before title 42 officially ends. The border patrol chief said his agents apprehended 26,000 immigrants between May 5th and seventh straight from DC. I'm Ray Bogan, thanks for watching.

The American Civil Liberties Union plans to sue against new asylum restrictions finalized under the Biden administration. The new regulations are set to go into effect once Title 42 expires on May 11. The restrictions disqualify migrants from applying for asylum in the United States. Migrants would have to seek asylum in another country first, while on their journey to the border.

"These rules would block them from the ability to seek asylum, which they have a right to under our laws.""Both of those bans — the one we call the entry ban, which was based on someone's manner of entry, if they entered between official border crossings, they were barred from asylum. The travel ban was based on someone's travel through a transit country without seeking asylum there," Eiland added. "Both of those rules which are combined in this current rule the Biden administration has just finalized, were held unlawful by a court. Both of those decisions were affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals. We don't think these rules are any different." ACLU's goal"We would like to see the administration return to lawful processing, which means when you come to a port of entry or you enter between ports of entry, you have the right to request asylum and have your claims heard," Eiland said. "People have been waiting to seek protection for a long time and these needs are real. People are in very difficult situations. We hope to be able, you know, through our lawsuits, to end these unlawful policies and allow people to be able to seek asylum again."Video below: What is Title 8?
