Washington, July 15 (Prensa Latina) The Donald Trump administration has issued a new rule on Monday so as to ban migrants who had entered the United Stated through a third country from seeking asylum, which may mean the end of protection measures for most migrants.
The US government, which has already dealt harsh blows to those asylum-seekers in the United States, published in the Federal Register the new lawsuit of the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice (DOJ), which should take effect from Tuesday.
According to the new lawsuit, migrants who had entered the United States through another nation, including minors who cross the border limits alone, will not be eligible to asylum.
The lawsuit only recognizes exceptions whether the asylum-seeker was illegally trafficked, or whether the nation he/she crossed was not a signatory to any of major international treaties relating to the Status of Refugees, which have been previously signed by most of the western nations.
Likewise, this new step would not apply to any asylum-seeker who sought protection in another territory and was denied there.
The Trump administration´s decision is essentially geared to stemming asylum protections as currently granted on the southern border.
