The Biden administration recently implemented a new law on asylum that seeks to restore the United States’ commitment to protecting those seeking safety from persecution.
This law requires the federal government to review asylum applications in a more efficient and humane manner.
It also provides for additional resources for asylum-seekers, such as access to legal counsel and better access to medical care. Additionally, the law eliminates the “Remain in Mexico” policy and allows those seeking asylum to stay in the U.S. while their cases are being processed. Finally, the law also seeks to ensure that asylum-seekers are treated fairly and with respect throughout the process.
