The Biden Administration has announced new asylum restrictions that some are comparing to Trump-era policies. It significantly restricts the asylum of other eligibility of migrant at the U.S.-Mexico border who traveled through other countries on their journey. The intention is to encourage asylum seekers to utilize "lawful, safe, and orderly pathways into the United States" or to seek asylum in the countries through which they travel. Officials in the administration emphasize these restrictions are intended to increase legal pathways and some programs have been implemented to accomplish this. This policy has faced wide scale condemnation from Democratic lawmakers and supporters of asylum.
