The Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) argued that migrants are exploiting the U.S. asylum system as a "get-out-of-deportation-free card."

"America's asylum system was never intended to be used as a de facto amnesty program or a catch-all, get-out-of-deportation-free card," the department, led by Kristi Noem, declared in an X post shared Saturday.
