New Asylum Processing Rule (7/31/2026)
- The Trump Administration published a new rule on July 28 about how Asylum Officers should process asylum applications.
- The rule allows Asylum Officers to transfer some asylum cases to immigration court for deportation proceedings without first interviewing the applicant. Situations in which an Asylum Officer may be able to do this include:
- The asylum application was submitted more than 1 year after the applicant entered the US
- The applicant has been convicted of a crime that the government considers “particularly serious” or thinks makes you a threat to public safety
- The asylum officer decides the applicant is not eligible or merits asylum as a matter of discretion
- If a case is transferred to immigration court, the applicant will have an opportunity to apply for asylum with the immigration judge.

Nouvo Règ Pwosesis Azil (7/31/2026)
- Administrasyon Trump la te pibliye yon nouvo règ 28 jiyè sou fason Ofisye Azil yo ta dwe trete aplikasyon azil yo.
- Règ la pèmèt Ofisye Azil yo transfere kèk ka azil nan tribinal imigrasyon pou pwosedi deportasyon san yo pa fè entèvyou ak aplikan an anvan. Sitiyasyon kote yon Ofisye Azil ka kapab fè sa gen ladan yo:
- Yo te soumèt aplikasyon azil la plis pase 1 an apre aplikan an te antre Ozetazini
- Yo te kondane aplikan an pou yon krim ke gouvènman an konsidere kòm “patikilyèman grav” oswa panse ki fè ou yon menas pou sekirite piblik
- Ofisye azil la deside aplikan an pa kalifye oswa li merite azil kòm yon kesyon de diskresyon
- Si yo transfere yon ka nan tribinal imigrasyon, aplikan an ap gen opòtinite pou aplike pou azil ak jij imigrasyon an.
