Securing the Border
On June 3, 2024, the President signed a Proclamation under sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"), finding that the entry into the United States of certain noncitizens during emergency border circumstances would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and suspending and limiting the entry of those noncitizens. The Proclamation directed DHS and DOJ to promptly consider issuing regulations addressing the circumstances at the southern border, including any warranted limitations and conditions on asylum eligibility. The Departments are now issuing this IFR.
The Proclamation limits the entry of certain noncitizens, potentially affecting their due process rights regarding asylum.
The limitations on asylum eligibility may lead to situations that could be deemed inhumane or cruel.
