President Donald Trump’s administration is working to place sweeping new restrictions on asylum eligibility in its latest effort to curb both legal and illegal immigration.

In a new 419-page rule (pdf) from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ), the administration said it would create additional bars to asylum eligibility and limit the circumstances in which individuals can qualify for protection; changes that it notes “are likely to result in fewer asylum grants annually.”
