New Trump admin rule to speed up deportations of asylum seekers

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration instituted a rule change on Tuesday that could fast-track the deportation of hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the move is intended to help reduce the backlog of pending asylum cases in the system.

The current system “essentially allows an alien to get a second chance at asylum,” DHS said.
