The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has taken legal action against the Biden administration over a recent executive action that significantly limits asylum for migrants crossing the US southern border illegally. This executive action, a bold move by President Joe Biden, restricts migrants from seeking asylum when a daily threshold is met, with only a few exceptions.
Following the announcement of this measure, the ACLU promptly warned of a lawsuit. Subsequently, the ACLU filed the lawsuit in Washington, DC, arguing that the new rules violate US immigration law and the Administrative Procedure Act, which outlines the necessary steps for implementing policies.
