Trump Administration Changes Asylum Process to Expedite Deportations

The Trump administration's new rule allows asylum seekers to be sent directly to immigration court without an initial interview, aiming to reduce a backlog of 1.4 million cases.
Critics argue this change undermines due process and increases the risk of deportation for vulnerable individuals fleeing persecution.
The rule is part of a broader strategy to streamline immigration enforcement, with plans to deport 1 million people by 2027.
