On Monday, President Donald Trump imposed new restrictions on asylum-seekers and people who cross the border illegally. In a memo, Trump requires fees for asylum applicants and adjudication of their cases within 180 days, absent exceptional circumstances.
The memo also bans provisional work permits for people who cross the border illegally and are awaiting hearings. The Washington Post, the New York Times, NBC News and Politico have coverage.
The asylum fees should be for no more than the cost of adjudication, the memo says.
