Biden's new asylum rules.

Biden’s new border policy. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to temporarily shut down all asylum requests at the southern U.S. border when the seven-day average of daily encounters at official ports of entry tops 2,500 per day. The measure grants authorities the power to quickly deport migrants caught crossing illegally or turn them back to Mexico, with exceptions for unaccompanied children, people who face serious medical or safety threats and victims of trafficking, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said. Since that threshold has already been met, the shutdown went into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday and won’t lift until encounters fall below a daily average of 1,500. You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and here and today’s “Have a nice day” story ⁠here and here⁠.In episode 3 of our podcast series, The Undecideds, our focus shifts from Donald Trump toward President Joe Biden.
