Biden Admin to Unveil New Rules Making the Asylum Process Even Harder
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration is preparing new measures that could expedite
the deportation of some asylum seekers deemed unlikely to qualify for
protection in the early stages of the process. Immigrant rights
advocates warn the new rules will further erode due process rights for
migrants and disproportionately impact Black asylum seekers, who already
face tremendous bias and racism from U.S. officials conducting credible
fear interviews.
