Trump administration is preparing a new immigration policy that could reject asylum seekers without even interviewing them, according to a report cited by CBS News.
The proposed rule was developed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Under the plan, officers at US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) would be allowed to deny applications if they believe the claims were filed more than a year after the applicant entered the US. This would bypass the long-standing practice of conducting interviews in nearly all asylum cases before a decision is made.
