Biden's administration introduces a rule to speed up removal of ineligible migrants with criminal histories.

The Biden administration has introduced a new rule that seeks to speed up the removal of some migrants ineligible for asylum, focusing on those with criminal records or national security threats.

This process aims to quickly deny entry for those who pose threats, while the administration acknowledges that the rule may not significantly reduce the migrant surge at the southern border.
