The Trump administration on Monday filed new guidelines with the Department of Homeland Security that limit the ability of Central American migrants to claim asylum in the US. The new rule, due to be published Tuesday, applies to migrants who come to the US by traveling through a third country.
Migrants who fail to apply for asylum in a third country through which they traveled to get to the US, with “limited exceptions,” will not be eligible for asylum in the US. This rule is due to become effective Tuesday and will only apply to migrants entering after that date.
