flag The Trump administration is expanding restrictions on U.S. asylum by directing judges to dismiss cases without hearings and send migrants to third countries like Uganda, Honduras, and Ecuador, even without prior ties. flag This policy, based on safe third-country agreements, aims to close a perceived loophole, reduce the immigration court backlog—now under 3.75 million cases—and meet a projected 600,000 deportations in the first year. flag DHS requested nearly 5,000 dismissals in November alone, more than double the prior month. flag Officials say it restores asylum’s purpose and deters fraudulent claims, while critics warn it undermines refugee protections and may deter legitimate seekers, especially from India linked to separatist narratives. flag The approach faces legal scrutiny but remains in effect pending legislative action.
