Government will stop taking asylum requests after 2,500 daily encounters

President Biden plans to issue executive actions to manage asylum requests at the southern border. A trigger mechanism will halt asylum claims once 2500 migrant encounters are reached, with legal pathways like the CVV One app still available. The administration aims to encourage lawful asylum processes while facing expected legal challenges. Exemptions include lawful residents and vulnerable groups. Critics argue the actions may violate asylum laws, and concerns arise about the impact on non-English speaking migrants and international law compliance.
