The Biden administration is preparing for changes in immigration policy.
Homeland Security and the Department of Justice on March 24 issued a new rule that reworks how asylum claims are processed at the border, allowing asylum officers to review and decide cases rather than immigration judges.
The nation's immigration courts are burdened with a backlog of more than 1.7 million cases, according to data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Adjudication can take years. The new framework aims to shorten the process to several months.
