Rejection of Biden asylum rule after court challenge raises fears of fresh border surge
Fox News
A federal court's rejection of a key Biden administration asylum rule enacted in May is raising fresh concerns of a potential border surge.
The rule bars migrants from claiming asylum if they have crossed the southern border illegally and failed to claim asylum in a country through which they have already passed. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

The rule was part of a carrot-and-stick approach that saw the rule combined with a stiffening of Title 8 penalties and a significantly expanded use of legal pathways. The administration has been allowing up to 1,450 migrants a day into the U.S. via the CBP One app and another 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans each month in via a separate parole program.
