The White House blamed a top asylum official for an inability to toughen asylum standards. Now he’s being reassigned.
The top asylum official at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will be reassigned, according to five current and former DHS officials and an agency email reviewed by POLITICO.
Trump and his top officials have argued that many asylum seekers don’t have valid claims and use the benefit to remain in the U.S. and work legally. The administration has plowed ahead with a range of policies to limit access to asylum, including the “remain in Mexico” initiative, which forces certain non-Mexico asylum seekers to stay in that country while they await rulings on their cases.
