The Trump administration is developing a regulation that would allow U.S. immigration officers to reject some asylum applications without first interviewing the applicants, a major procedural shift that could speed up denials and send more migrants directly into deportation proceedings, according to a new report.
The plan, first detailed by CBS News, would give U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers authority to deny asylum applications on the written record if they determine the claims were filed more than one year after the applicant arrived in the United States.
