Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Nov. 30 that the United States will “absolutely” be deporting people with pending asylum claims “if they should be” removed.
During an NBC “Meet the Press” interview on Nov. 30, Noem was asked about illegal immigration and migration programs and whether the Trump administration will deport individuals with pending asylum claims. The question was raised after President Donald Trump said on social media last week that he would suspend migration from “Third World Countries” after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard members in Washington, killing one.
