10,000 Asylum Seekers Deported to Mexico as Trump Admin Stops Processing Claims

The Trump administration shut down the asylum system for the first time in decades, using an obscure public health rule that allows U.S.-Mexico border officials to deny migrants due process, citing coronavirus prevention measures.
