Biden to Allow 25,000 Asylum Seekers to Enter US

What Happened:

• On Friday, the Biden administration announced that it plans on allowing tens of thousands of asylum seekers to enter the US while they are awaiting their immigration court hearings.

• Authorities say they will begin letting in asylum seekers with active cases from Mexico on Feb 19th. There are an estimated 25,000 asylum seekers with active cases in Mexico.

• This dismantles a Trump-era policy which sought to deter asylum seekers from entering the US.

• The rollout will be slow at first with approximately 600 people being processed per day.
