New Trump administration plan could end asylum claims and speed deportations for hundreds of thousands of migrants
UNITED STATES, JUN 25 – The policy aims to expedite deportations by dismissing up to 250,000 asylum claims, bypassing courts to reduce backlog and enforce immigration laws more strictly, officials said.
- The Trump administration announced plans on June 24, 2025, to dismiss asylum claims for hundreds of thousands of migrants in the U.S., expediting their deportations.
- This action follows the Department of Homeland Security granting USCIS fast-track deportation powers to enforce immigration laws and close cases of unlawful entrants.
- About 1.45 million asylum applications remain pending, with many cases delayed by a backlog causing average waits of three and a half years for court relief decisions.
- Critics like Sarah Mehta of the ACLU warn USCIS is shifting from processing benefits to becoming an enforcement arm for ICE, threatening due process and immigrant communities.
- The policy shift will likely increase deportations and deepen challenges for migrants seeking protection, while expanding detention facilities is already underway to manage this change.
